Oh, I'm stoked for Vancouver. I'm so going to load up on tickets.
I think we have a chance to be really terrifying. The way I see it, the only area we really need to work on is in alpine skiing. Hockey is fine, figure skating is coming along, we'll have Klassen and Witherspoon back in long track (we're always good at that,) our short track is good. Nordic too is coming along (that 22 year old who just won gold will be back,) and if you've ever been out to Canmore, that's gotta be the best training facility in the world. We're really good at the sliding sports (Pierre Lueders trains at the same facility I do, and he's aiming to be at Vancouver, even though that will be in 2010.) The one place we can really pick up medals is in alpine and ski jumping.
In case anyone wonders, the place I work out has an athletic training zone directly affiliated with Canada Olympic Park, which is why I know these people. Also, Dany Heatley's uncle coached my hockey team.
Now
there's some shameless name dropping.
