But how about the Canadian woman Joannie Rochette? Her mother passed away unexpectedly on Sunday. And here she is skating 4 days later to a bronze medal! Congrats for her! I can't imagine how difficult this must have been for her.

I cried when Joannie skated her short program the other night, and I also cried tonight watching such an emotional performance tonight. What an amazing skater, having to deal with such a tragedy and yet turn it into a bronze medal ........... she did herself, her mom, her family AND especially Canada proud

I am SO damn proud to be Canadian right now
