The Olympic games are over. But the last day of the Olympics is a day the people of Vancouver will never forget (unless they partied too hard that night). All 14 gold medals (record for a host country) were big here, but nothing comes even close to beating the overtime victory in the hockey final.
We were at The Cambie (a pub) at 9am for the 12.15 game. That’s over 3 hours before the game, and there was still over 50 people ahead of us in line. Apparently people had been in line to pubs as early as 7.30 that morning. That’s how big this game was.
After watching the game we went to the madness at Robson Street and Granville Street, before enjoying the Closing Ceremony at Robson Square.
I’ve never seen anything like this before, and I’m not sure I ever will again. The hosting country winning the game they love the most. In overtime. Against their arch rivals. That’s big.
Check the video to see a glimpse of the party (and a few versions of the anthem) in Vancouver this awesome, awesome last day of the 2010 Olympic games.
