As the Invictus Games 2025 is coming to Vancouver and Whistler, I still get 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games Stuffs in my mind. I wish Vancouver also consider hosting the 2038 Winter Games in 14 Years Time if possible, the games did not return and would return 28 years later in history by the bidding. I still miss everything when I was four years old while I was living in Surrey at that time when the games came to my hometown. Now Vancouver and Whistler 14 years later, and then it would be 15 years later in 2025, would still never be the same like Vancouver and Whistler used to look like in 2010 during the Winter Games Month in February and March 2010 anymore. This spirit of the games lives on and I won’t forget that over millions of glowing hearts of Canadians were jumping for joy when Sidney Crosby got the Golden goal for all during the final hockey game just hours before the closing ceremony. The spirit will be back again as the I AM Games comes; let’s repeat on how it happened in Vancouver, 15 years later. Still miss the fond memories and I still love Vancouver. I’m 18 years old andI’m currently living there all of my life for five years. Thank You Olympic and Paralympic Games! 💙🩵💚
I really missed that Canadian pride and camaraderie during that two weeks. The country felt so united and happy. In the streets of Vancouver, everyone felt like a friend. People would randomly break out singing the national anthem. It was a special time; a very stark contrast to the broken Canada we have today
When it feels like everything is backwards not only in Canada but the whole world, I need to come back to this video and feel the love and hope we had back then. Was really a special time for our Country.
I don't know, it's hard to say. I would imagine if you made a mistake and didn't do your best, you would feel that way. If you gave your all and still lose, you'd feel better than if you had the chance and bad luck or a momentary lapse of concentration ruined for you. I don't remember watching her so I can't say more For example, I missed an open net in an important hockey tournament to us native people in Ontario for a minor hockey kids called Little Native Hockey league (yes even though its only a week long tournament). It could have made us lose out on a chance to be in the championship game but luck was on our side with the tiebreaking system. The thought feels less bad knowing we still won the tournament but I would be thinking about that non goal forever would it have ended up catastrophic. 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️. Still do but I can laugh as opposed to cry. I hope she found peace.
As an American I still look back at these olympic games with fondness. These olympics games were phenomenal and I loved watching Canada, their country, citizens, and athletes!
Came back to watch this absolute banger of a video essay again, after watching Stephen's latest masterpiece about Sports returning after COVID..... this guy is an artist man.
I’m here watching it 11 years later in Jan 2021. As I sit here with my 11 yr old Labrador, who was just a young puppy when I walked around Vancouver with her in Feb 2010 greeting visitors, I have tears in my eyes. Great memories!
I remember standing on my feet everytime a Canadian athlete was going for a medal that year. (Except when an American was going for it too) there was something different going on during those Olympics. I can't describe it, but honestly one of the most entertaining 2 sports weeks I have ever witnessed
Canada keepin' that swagger going 4 years later in Sochi. I believe the winter Olympics in Vancouver propelled the Canadian team to greatness for years to come. I hope some of the athletes have seen this video essay, what a way to get pumped.
yeah I was thinking about it when I was working on liberal leadership convention video... imagery etc... I have my settings so my youtube comments go right on to my twitter
We here in BC are going through the Provincial election campaigns. All you hear is bitterness, bickering and division. I wish they could all remember these moments and unite us, not divide. Regardless of what people think of PM Harper, the man is a true Canadian. Nearly all of his tweets are about the glories of Canadian athletes. We have A LOT to be damn proud about! BRING THE CUP HOME!
