Watching Mamnie Mc-Beani and Kat l Hddle scoot ahecad of the pack to win Canada's 1 rst gold and becomne the first 3-timne gold miedalists n C anadian history. Wow!

Wowj! Theýn one week later, Canada, representedl by Doncova-n Bailey, Montreal's Bruny Surin, Sudbury's Robert Esmie, and Ottawa's Glenroy lerh'anded the Americans the silver nedal (they kept thie gold for themiselves) in the 4x100 metreý relay. It was tbe first time in hiistory the Anericans hiad lost the race at the Olymipics or the wýýorld championships (their record is, sorry was, 14 wins, 3 disqualifications and one boycott in the Olymipie Games ýince 1912). It was perhaps the grecatest loss that Canada has ever given to our niýighboturs to the souith. Wow! To top) it al off, there was the closing ceremionies. Canadian athletes smruggled a hutge flag made for themi by an Australian sehool onto thec field. The flag was unfurled and held by the Canadian athietes, domîinating the field. Wow!

Thiere must be somnething magical about them, as they seemn to replicate themnselves in yvour pocket. Your wallet is emipty, you think you are out of mnoney, when you reach into your pocket and pull out one, twvo, three, four-, no five of the weird lîttie coins. You are suddenly $10 richer than you thoulght! And you don't remember hiow they got there. Unbelievable! To mie, the toonie (can't somneone corne up wvith a better name?
