My neighbours in Vancouver had teenage sons who built mounds like fresh graves on their lawn, with headstones showing the flags of the teams the Canadians were about to play. Those boys went wild, running up and down our dull suburban street, when Canada beat the USA for the gold medal from Salt Lake City.
As it happens I'm on holiday this week, and enjoyed the luxury of watching Canada take Olympic gold again in the men's ice hockey. What a game - equalised by the US with 24 seconds to play, then won by golden goal in overtime. Too bad nobody else in the house was particularly interested.

- Here you will mostly read about my love for bicycles and how much fun they are to ride. I have a commuting bike, another for shopping, plus one for bike polo. And maybe one or two others, since you ask.

I see you've already got the right mindset for supporting the All Blacks through the World Cup.
