Own the Podium

You have probably heard about the Canadian sports program "Own the Podium". The goal?  Win more medals in the 2010 Winter Olympics than any other nation (and gold for the first time in an Olympic competition on Canadian soil).  Anyway, it was the buzz here before the games and put tremendous pressure on Canadian atheletes.  And gold has been won but it looks like Canada will fall short of actually "owning the podium", maybe well short.

But everytime Canada wins a gold they light up the torch on the top of the Calgary Tower between 5:00 and 6:00 pm.  So I went down and got this picture today.
