Canada wins a gold medal.

[HeresyLives]

Mogulist Alexandre Bilodeau won Canada's first ever gold on home soil laying down a near-perfect final run at Cypress Mountain on Sunday.

The 2009 overall World Cup champion executed a back full off the top air and a perfect-scoring back iron cross off the bottom air to earn a score of 26.75.

Dale Begg-Smith, competing for Australia, took the silver medal. American skier Bryon Wilson claimed the bronze medal.

Now...maybe we can stop worrying about it, and get on with the games.

Yes, I was really happy for him, he seems like a nice guy. It was a long time coming on Canadian soil. Many more to come for Canada I am sure.
