Alex Bilodeau

There have been a lot of gold medals given to winners in the Olympics to Canadians but never on home soil until now. The Alexandre Bilodeau made Canadian history on Monday, February 15 he had one of the most perfect runs ever seen in Olympic history. There has been more gold medals gained since then in ladies’ boarder cross there was Mealle Ricker and in ladies’ 1000m speed skating Christine Nesbitt. These are the only people in Canadian history to ever win gold medals on home turf GO CANADA!!!!
There are many important things about winning gold on home turf for a first. One this is a big boost for all of the Olympians and a lot of weight of their shoulders this is because they have already won gold for Canada and they won’t have everyone making it harder for them on their back all the time. This winning of the gold means that we have broken a jinx and that we have also won a gold witch everyone wants to have and this was the most intense runs in moguls I have ever seen in the Olympics one of the worst things about this was that Dale Smith of Australia silver medal in men’s moguls at the 2010 winter Olympics games was being such a poor loser. Dale should have been happy to win silver at the Olympics which means he is the second best skier in the world. If I were in this man shoes I would have been freaking out because I won at the Olympics especially something I have been training at for so many years.
There are so many people that try to even make it in to the Olympics but to win would be the most awesome thing ever to have a gold medal from the Olympics. Well there have been many countries competing but there are some that don’t have enough money to even try to compete in the Olympics that could possibly make it in. Well that’s how I think about Alex’s gold.
