In the wake of the London Olympics I think expressing our appreciation to ALL the athletes is not only appropriate, but the ONLY response.
ALL of the athletes who were in London did a great job and have more than earned the appreciaition of our Nation for making us proud.
Afterall, the Olympics are not just about getting Gold medals, they are about being the best you can be and striving to achieve personal bests. (Remember the Jamaican Bobsled team and Eddie the Eagle Edwards??)
Aren't the Olympics about higher, stronger, faster?? I don't remember ever reading that they are about only getting the gold? Being there alone is a spectacular achievement, and every one of those men and women who wore Canada on their chests entering the Stadium 18 days ago deserve our respect, our admiration, and our pride - they've earned it!!!
Thanks to Team Canada for a job well done!!! You made us proud!!!

The atheletes who made me the MOST proud were the 4x100 relay team. They were the epitome of class and good sportsmanship, abiding by the rules and showing such tremendous grace and respect in the face of disappointment.
THIS is what being Great is all about.
