canadiandiamond | Gushue is Golden!

Canada wins Gold in Curling! Our first ever, actually, though a lot of people associate the sport with us. What's more important is that the team representing Canada is from Newfoundland and Labrador, our first ever Olympic medal and it's Gold. :D It was a really emotional moment, the team skip's mother has been undergoing chemo treatments and couldn't attend the games in Italy. He called her almost right away on his cell, though he couldn't get an answer, so he turned to the camera and said "Answer the phone mom!" CBC had them miked for the whole game, which was nice. :) But yes, he was pretty much in tears over the whole thing, it was such an amazing moment.

The Minister of Education here closed the schools this afternoon, and the boss told us this morning that he was closing the office so we could watch the game. Then we went to his house and did just that, had a few drinks and snacks. Good times! And yay for Team Canada / Newfoundland and Labrador! ^_^
