Team Canada Scores Big at Beach O-LIMP-XX

03-08-2005

In spite of being a much smaller team than the contingents from Texas (who stayed in the Beer Bucket 'overtraining' last night), Minnesota, and Wisconsin (okay, one 'athlete' in casts there), Team Canada from Winnipeg, Manitoba is very proud to be heading home from the inaugural games with 3 Gold and 2 Bronze Medals at the close of competition. The Canadian Flag hangs proudly in the window of Room 301 at Hotel Playa Maya tonight!!

See you all at La Ranita for the James Beer Tasting Closing Ceremonies at 9 tonight!! Peep Beads and Medals mandatory!

Yes, congratulations! Deb came in wearing the maple leaf like a cape. Much gloating and displayed of medals ensued. Well done.

Way to go, Canada!
It was only the Canadian flag that led me to find Rissask last week... glad there are more around! Whose was in the webcam group shot... looked too small to be Maggie's.
Steve, have your kids broken the beads yet?

As a fellow Winnipeger, I am very proud of all of you!!! We returned home from Playa on Feb 26, still in a state of mourning!!!! Keep having fun, maybe the snow will be gone when you get home!!!???

Nice one eh! Good to hear that Canada was well represented! Nice to see that your training regimen of so little sleep upon the pre-game arrival worked out for you guys

That total almost beats our summer olympic numbers!

O.K. sounds like we made the mistake of booking into an all-inclusive at Xcaret. We are there from March 21-29th. Any recommendations for this old couple and their 16 year old son?

Let me add my heartfelt congratulations to the accolades already extended to Don & Deb, for their fantastic effort in the face of overwhelming odds. The team was diminutive in size, but gigantic in effort and heart. It's a crushing responsibility to carry the hopes of an entire nation on only two pairs of shoulders. If there is ever an repeat of the O-LIMP-XX, there is obviously going to have to be a lot of recruiting done to "flesh out" the make up of Contingent Canuck. Team Texas, is a pretty daunting monolith, though it must be said the Minnesota representation put on an impressive display.

Kudos again, Deb & Don...True North, Strong & Free.

I think Texas will be bringin in their "ringers" next year.... as well as an ultra top secret psy-ops campaign

Congrats to our proud Canadian team!! I would sing Oh Canada if I could remember all of the words (haha). Bring back the Stanley Cup and be careful of those random drug tests.
