What is your most memorable moment of the games?

Mine was seeing Rochette skate a couple of days after the sudden death of her mother

Coming close second is overtime game winner by Sidney Crosby!

I think the first gold medal from freestyle skier Alexandre Bilodeau was pretty special. Considering all the pressure and hype...got the monkey off our backs!

First gold at home, great! Rochette's skate after mother's death great! Most golds at home venue, great! Winning the hockey game, great! All of the other members of the various Canadian Olympic teams, medals or not, great!

All of that was certainly memorable, but the most memorable event of the 2010 Olympics happened just a few minutes after the games were officially closed. It was the audience's response to 4 words, "Hi, my name is Mike". Now THAT was a defining moment for Canada if ever there was one. I'd like to add my cheers and best wishes for "Mike" and for all the great work he is doing.

I agree, I love Mike

For me it was watching Alexandre Bilodeau win Canada’s first gold medal; the second was nervously watching US and Canada playing overtime and then jumping out of my chair when Sidney Crosby scored the golden goal and third was hearing the loud cheers for Mike during the closing moments.

For me, its a tie between Alexandre Bilodeau first gold medal for Canada on home soil and Sidney Crosby scoring the golden goal.
