Vanouver 2010 Winter Olympics: Day 6 - Maelle Ricker, Lindsey Vonn, Paul Brandt plus more

Maelle Ricker was the first Canadian to win gold on home soil and I had the opportunity to see her receive her medal at the Victory Ceremony.

The experience was surreal. Everybody in the crowd cheered, clapped and went crazy. It was great that we were all excited to see one of our own win gold. It made me so proud to hear the national anthem play and hear everyone singing to Oh Canada! at the same time. The evening was amazing.

We were also treated to the USA's sensation Lindsey Vonn gold medal presentation. After all the medals were distributed, Alberta country music superstar Paul Brandt gave a great performance. I especially liked his song and performance for "Canadian Man".

After the victory ceremonies I watched some fireworks at Robson Square and enjoyed the atmosphere on Granville Street. It was great to see everyone enjoying themselves.
