1. Ian Miller and Team Canada’s equestrian silver medal: This team hasn’t had a medal since 1966! And Ian Miller is 61. And this is his NINTH Olympic Games. It was such a stellar win (down one rider on the team) and so bittersweet for Miller after his wife and business partner Lynne, died in March.
2. Priscilla Lopes-Schliep’s bronze medal in hurdles: Seemingly out of nowhere, the impressively muscle-bound Lopes-Schliep erases memories of Perdita and ends a 12-year medal drought in Canadian track.
3. Usain Bolt’s dancehall happy dance in the 200m: Hilarious.
4. Brian Price and Team Canada’s Gold medal in rowing: Awesome for those guys and Price is from my hometown. Go Belleville!
5. Canada’s 0 to 13 medal comeback: I eat my own words.
