The United States brought most of the medals home but Canada really raked in the gold.
Kim Yu-Na, the South Korean figure skating gold medalist, won with her style and finesse.
Also in hockey, Canada defeated the United States 3-2 in an overtime match.
All of the athletes who worked hard in their field. All of the organizers who made it sure everything would work out. All of the supporters of each country who cheered like wild for their athletes. Congratulations!!
