Coming into the Games I knew I was in five events but I didn't expect to get a medal in every distance, especially the 5,000.

We're all doing it for the love of the sport. We want to make Canada proud. I'm so fortunate to skate in a country like Canada.

I am honored to be selected as Canada's flag bearer for the closing ceremony of the 2006 Olympic Winter Games. Over the past 16 days we've had some outstanding performances by Canadian athletes and it is truly overwhelming to be selected as the flag bearer amidst the most successful Canadian Olympic Winter Games team ever.

I'm so proud of how well Canada did at the Games here. It think we're going to do even better in 2010.
