Owning the Podium

for the first time in Olympic history, Canada has finished atop the medal standings with 14 gold medals. Germany next with 10, followed by Norway and the USA with 9 apiece.

We may not own all of the podium. Just the top step.

Canada has set a record for most golds won at an Winter Olympics. Breaking the record (13) held by Norway and the Soviet Union. (remember them?)

Canada also broke the record of golds by a host nation.

That sound you may have heard was 28 million people puffing out their chests with pride.

Now bring on the beer and cigars...
