I found the Canadian flag chalk art on a path at the local park and it gave me a good feeling.

Otherwise, it is on. :)<br /><br />And stardust, I agree about the “deliberate losing”.

You definitely captured, with your photos, the emotion and heart of a spectacular athlete and competitor. The drama and courage that touch every athlete dedicated and talented enough to compete at this level is what draws me to watch the olympics.
