I feel let down, I watched the women's curling... It is not what I was expecting. I had the cleanex out and everything.

Le coeur a ses raisons que la raison ne connaît point. 
Canadian coach’s act of kindness in cross country skiing at Sochi Olympics reflects all of us: Kelly
Justin Wadsworth jumped to the aid of a Russian skier labouring to finish the men’s sprint race Tuesday on a broken ski.
SOCHI, RUSSIA—After his own miserable afternoon in the midst of the greatest 24 hours in our Olympic history, Canadian cross-country ski coach Justin Wadsworth wandered over to the finish line.
His own athletes were all eliminated early. He was crestfallen. He wanted to watch the end of the semifinal in the men’s free sprint.
As he stood there, surrounded by other officials, he spotted Russian Anton Gafarov coming over a rise. Gafarov, an early medal favourite, was struggling miserably.
He’d crashed on a quick downhill corner and broken a ski. Then he’d crashed again. A long, thin layer of P-Tex had been skinned off his ski. It was now wrapped around his foot like a snare.
Gafarov was not ‘skiing’ to the finish. He was dragging himself.
Wadsworth looked around. No one was moving. Everyone just stared, including a group of Russian coaches.
“It was like watching an animal stuck in a trap. You can’t just sit there and do nothing about it,” Wadsworth said later.
In a race typically decided by tenths-of-a-second, Gafarov was three minutes behind the pack. He was trying to make it the last couple of hundred metres down the 1.7 km course.
Wadsworth grabbed a spare ski he’d brought for Canadian racer Alex Harvey and ran onto the track.
Gafarov stopped. Wadsworth kneeled beside him. No words passed between them. Gafarov only nodded. Wadsworth pulled off the broken equipment and replaced it. Gafarov set off again.
“I wanted him to have dignity as he crossed the finish line,” Wadsworth, a three-time Olympian, said.
That. That right there. That’s the Olympics.
If you don’t get a lump in throat thinking about what Justin Wadsworth did for a man he doesn’t know to speak to, but recognizes as a friend in sport, then you should head to the ER. You need a heart transplant.
After the agony of defeat, success will be sweet!Dara Howell and Kim Lamarre honour Sarah Burke’s legacy with Olympic gold and bronze
...“This medal is definitely for Sara,” Howell said. “She pushed the sport so much. She always wanted to see the progression, to see girls throwing kind of like the guys were throwing, always had a smile on her face and loved what she did. Today, I feel like that’s what I did.”
“I always see her smile in my mind,” Lamarre said. “That’s one of my fondest memories – how happy she looked and how that smile was contagious. I think that was the most important thing to remember from this girl. She was beautiful from the outside. But man, was she beautiful from the inside.”
Howell is here because of Burke. Howell grew up in a skiing family in the Ontario cottage country community of Huntsville, but alpine racing bored her. She tried figure skating, but all she liked were the jumps. At 15, she decided she was going to be just like Burke and took up freestyle, and for the first time, she found a sport that brought out her talent and held her attention.
The other day, Howell said she hoped a Canadian would win gold in freestyle for Burke. She had no idea it would be her.

...I had a Sarah moment this morning. I was riding the lift when the fellow next to me remarked on the "Remember Sarah" decal I wear on my helmet. "Thank-you," he said, "She's my niece."
