AS critics predicted "own the podium", Canada indeed own the podium in the XXI Olympics game here in Vancouver. Canada got 14 gold medals, which is highest ever gold medal counts by any country in the olympics. Canada's total tally of the medal counts is 26, which is again a highest by any host in the Olympics history, so overall Canadins did "own the podium". It was a fantastic game performance by all the atheletes in parts of the games.Canadian Volunteers, Canadian patritiosm really kept the Canadian nose high in world's eye and Canada proved that IOC's decision was really worth it to award the games to Vancouver. It turns out, you can’t create a legacy in a day, but you can make history. This histroy is written in golden pages in Canadian history and will be remembered by generations after generations.
