After watching the “interesting” opening ceremonies of the Vancouver Olympics in 2010, I remembered some of the amazing Canadian Olympic moments. I managed to find a short vignette from the National Film Board about Kathy Kreiner and her surprise Gold Medal run at Innsbruck in 1976. Given we didn’t win any gold in Montreal (the FIRST Canadian Olympics (which was finally paid off a couple of years ago)), Ms. Kreiner’s victory sticks in my mind.
I wish all the Canadian Athletes good luck, and let the games begin!
