Representing your country in a large international sporting event like the Olympics, in the summer or winter games, and understanding what it feels to win gold, stand at the top of the podium and have the national anthem play, is an experience majority of us will never have. Back on July 2, 2003, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in Prague selected Vancouver as the host city for the 2010 winter games. I remember distinctly when not only Vancouver, but also Canada was awarded with such an honor.
