Three years ago today I posted this watercolor to celebrate the Gold Medal win for Team Canada in the Two-Man Bobsleigh at the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang by Alexander Kopacz and Justin Kripps. Today I couldn’t be happier to report that the painting has found the perfect home 😊.

Remembering the start of Vancouver’s Winter Olympics when 10 years ago today Alex Bilodeau came flying down Cypress Mountain to win the Men’s Moguls Gold Medal.
Then in 2014 at the Sochi Games he became the first Olympian in history to successfully defend his gold medal in any free style skiing event. Congratulations once again to a true Canadian Olympic hero. 🇨🇦

This collage featuring Olga Korbet, the golden girl of the ’72 and ’76 Olympic Games, will be familiar to those of you who follow my Monday Bouquet.
Her never-to-be forgotten gold medal performances and a smile that is as heart warming and magical today as I remember it in 1972 are worth re-visiting in this official YouTube video from the International Olympic Committee: http://youtu.be/c2NGqI6FqeQ
