Our first event that we had tickets for was the Canada v. Slovakia female hockey game. Now truly do you really think there was going to be anyone else in the arena other than us Americans and a few Slovakians. After Canada's 10 points it was very evident the Slovakian team was totally incapable of getting one point against the very strong Canadians. We started rooting for the underdog which obviously irritated the Canadians surrounding us. The Canadians eventually figured out that they were a lot nicer than us Americans and had to at least encourage the Slovakians, but they were to out skilled. The score 18 to 0. There has never been a game that was so one sided in the Olympics.
After the game not only were the Canadians easy to have sportsmanship in applauding for the Slovakians, but the Slovakians were extremely gracious in applauding back, it was a real tear jerky moment.
We walked around the Canadian and Aborigine houses and ended up at CBC news station where there was a sidewalk cafe. Gary and I sat outside waiting for our friends looking into the cafe while everyone was watching the mogel female competition. At one point we were clapping for the American and then the Canadian got in front and then all of a sudden the last competitor was an American and she swept to the Gold. It was slightly awkward when there was two Americans amongst 100 Canadians screaming. The entire inside of the cafe staring out at us. It was okay I knew they could only kill me but it was well worth watching the Americans win.
