Now the Winter Olympics are over, and the X Paralympic Winter Games are about to start , I feel I don't want the winter to finish. Only two weeks of winter sports so far, but if you are like me and you follow the web sites, blogs, and TV coverage then I have been almost addicted and felt sad when the Olympics finished. But what an end with the men's ice hockey between two of the biggest ice hockey nations Canada and USA.
It was almost like a movie could have written the script, Canada go 2-0 up and USA come back with seconds to spare to even the score, then to take it to what we Brits know as golden goal, the first to score in 20 minutes. And the guy that scored, branded in British TV as one of the best Ice Hockey players around at the moment Sydney Crosby, had a very quiet game in fact could have finished the game off for Canada in the last couple of minutes when he broke out one on one against the keeper and failed to score!
Then Crosby comes good with a fantastic goal a couple of minutes into extra time being played. A fairy tale ending and for a neutral in the sport I was pleased Canada won on home turf.
Well done to Canada for a fantastic Olympics, not without its talking points but that for me makes it all the better.
Bring on the X Paralympic Games!
