Though he'd probably demand that the biathlon include bears instead of targets. He's that kind of dude.

Bilodeau also won in 2010 (but if you're a fellow Canuck I'm sure I won't have to tell you that, since it was a Big Deal, being the first gold on home soil), and here's what I wrote on Mommyish today about him:<br /><br />One memory from Vancouver will stay with me forever. In 2010, Canada won its first Olympic gold on home soil, the skiier Alexandre Bilodeau - I think it was in moguls. They interviewed the entire Bilodeau family afterward, and Alexandre mentioned that his brother, who has cerebral palsy, was a huge inspiration to him and an amazing brother during the long road to the Games. His brother, in turn, went on and on about how great Alexandre was, and you could tell the whole family was overwhelmed. The TV host poured some wine, handed the glass to the brother and asked him to give a toast. The brother said "To Alexandre - and to Canada." The Bilodeau parents wept, and my god, did Canada weep with them.Rachaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04150180999759304022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-4448806644001374122014-02-10T14:38:52.559-05:002014-02-10T14:38:52.559-05:00Take a look at the story of Alex Bilodeau, who tod...Take a look at the story of Alex Bilodeau, who today won the gold for Men's Moguls. His older brother has cerebral palsy and Alex calls him his hero. If you watch a video of them together it's hard not to get all teary. <br />http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/olympics/alex-bilodeau-motivated-by-older-brother-with-cerebral-palsy/article16769006/Marthanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-78406413966683215152014-02-10T13:52:29.690-05:002014-02-10T13:52:29.690-05:00Watching the ice dancing, and seeing repeated shot...Watching the ice dancing, and seeing repeated shots of Vladimir Putin looking underwhelmed by ... everything ... made me think what a behavioral therapist would say about him. Probably that his "affect" is abnormal, and that his responses to "stimuli" are "inappropriate". He needs a positive reinforcement programs so that he'll learn how to cheer and clap "properly".apulranghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16133974049950425863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-54640334101119426692014-02-10T13:09:30.580-05:002014-02-10T13:09:30.580-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Rachaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04150180999759304022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-83293769787743157442014-02-10T10:03:35.135-05:002014-02-10T10:03:35.135-05:00Exciting!
