10 days until the Opening

Prediction time, prediction time, everybody loves prediction time, there ain't no reason and there ain't no rhyme for (clap, clap) PREDICTION TIME!

Prediction # 1

Just like the commercial on TV: it didn't happen in Montréal, and it didn't happen in Calgary but I believe it will happen in Vancouver. For those of you who don't know what I'm predicting: we will win a gold medal for the first time as a host nation.

Prediction #2

We will win more medals than we did in Torino (in 2006). We had a total of 24 medals at the last winter olympics, this time we will exceed that total.

Prediction #3

We will not beat the magic number of 35 medals. Objectives were set and the number that was thrown out there was 35 medals for Canada during these Games. Due to injuries to some members of our ski team and with some of our Olympic qualifications ranking, I do not think that we can exceed 30 medals. (I HOPE I'M WRONG BTW)

Prediction #4

We will not be the #1 in total medal count. We hope to win 35 medals and to be the first in total medal rankings and had hoped to be a record setting Olympic Games for our country (at the winter Olympics), unfortunately I do not think that this can happen. Countries like USA, Germany, and Russia will do very well. (AGAIN, I HOPE I'M WRONG)

Prediction #5

The Vancouver 2010 Games will be the most successful Olympic Games on Canadian soil. The budget will be respected, so will our environment (with lots of efforts), our athletes will make us believe. And we will have the occasion to view fantastic Cultural Olympiades as well...

What do you think?

J'ai de plus en plus hate de me rendre à Vancouver...

J'aimerais profiter de cette chronique par poursuivre mes prédictions. Je prédis que notre équipe de hockey ne va pas remporter la médaille d'or. Certain se verront surpris par cette prédiction, mais tout de même reconnaitront mes capacités au niveau de l'analyse du hockey. Nous n'allons pas remporter la médaille d'or parce que nous n'avons pas les meilleurs joueurs au monde. Nous avons peut-être les meilleurs partisans et le plus grand nombre de joueur à l'échelle nationale mais nous n'avons pas profité de notre médaille d'or à Salt Lake City pour nous définir comme suprématie mondiale au niveau du hockey masculin. Nous remarquons cependant que tous les autres pays (USA, RUSSIE, Suède, Findland, Slovakie, République Czech...) ont augmentés leurs calibre de jeu. Je prédis donc que la Suède ou la Russie sera le pays qui remportera la médaille d'or.

À demain...
