Canadian triathlete Paula Findlay showed us the heart of a true Olympian. She showed grace and courage as she kept going despite injury and disappointment.
Jamaican runner Usain Bolt showed the world the meaning of arrogance as he strutted around claiming to be "the greatest." The U.S. medal-winner who stood pouting on the podium showed the world poor sportsmanship. Every Canadian athlete is exemplary, with or without a medal.
I would sooner stand in ovation for the Paula Findlays of the world than I would for Usain Bolt.
