These are my predictions for the Olympics for Vancouver 2010:
Canada will win 25 medals including the first Gold Medal won by a Canadian in Canada. (I won’t jinx you, bumps skier). Sadly, we won’t “own the podium.”
These are my predictions for the Olympics in Sochi in 2014:
Canada will win significantly fewer medals after major funding cuts to Olympic programs. Olympic athletes, who have been talking about this issue for four straight years, will be widely criticized by Canadians for “underperforming.” Canadian sports fans will blame the athletes themselves for not measuring up to world standards without understanding that the financial assistance and training programs have been severely slashed because the Canadian Olympic commitment only applies to home games.
Canada spends more money on prisoners than it does on Olympians.

Roger, I listened to the interview with Kelly,I think curling has earned the right to be an olympic sport…ice, snow, winter, canada…happy to see snow boarding recognized also…horse jumping, rather lame unless you live in the UK…cricket, very stupid…where dose one draw the line? I think the swimming was viable…can’t stand ice skating, figure ballerina skating crap, but some people like that crap…it’s still a free country!
I’d love to make a friendly wager with your predictions…I have only watched a few events…looking forward to February 24th- speed skating womens, womens hockey…watching the downhill – shit Michelle Rorak just wipped out huge…I know Fraser thinks skiing is gay…man the f%^$#n mogals are brutal…not for the faint of heart.
Cheers, Leslie
