Coming into the games there was one question on every Canadian’s mind – Who will be the first Canadian to win gold at home?
Canada “was” the only country to host the games multiple times but never win a gold medal at home.
Moments ago, Alex Bilodeau changed everything.
I am so overwhelmed with emotions right now. This is an historic event which will be remembered for ever – the first Canadian to win gold at home.
But the fact that Alex stomped over Dale Beggs-Smith just makes it that much more sweeter.
Technically, Dale Beggs-Smith is a Canadian. He was born and raised here, learned the sport here but represents Australia. In media circus leading up the big showdown he refused to even talk to the Canadian media. I am sure he, more than once, visualized himself as the champion and the look of despair on the faces of Canadians. He perfectly executed his routine and took the comfortable sport as the #1 guy.
But all his evil dreams vaporized when Alex soared down the mountain and snatched away the first position for him.
LoL @ Pathetic look on his face.
GO CANADA. FU Dale Beggs-Smith.
