Manuel Osborne-Paradis is my newest follower on twitter, so I'm dedicating this post to him. Racing in the Men's Downhill on Saturday morning, he will aim to become the first Canadian to win a gold medal on home snow, and our entire nation is behind him.

Manny if you win, here are some ideas for your victory celebration:

1. Party like Ross Rebegliati
   


2. Party like Michael Phelps
   


3. Shave
   


4. Find Lindsey Vonn and convince her you know the secrets of the hill – pretty sure she'll be into that.
   


5. Go heckle ice dancers and tell them it's not a real sport
   
6. Run for Prime Minister

If anyone has any more ideas for Manny, feel free to add them below!

GO MANNY GO!

Up here in the Olympic City, we aren't able to see the famous Super Bowl Commercials. So just to make it easier for you to find them, I've posted some of the best ones below. But, let's start with the ad that we saw over and over instead - the CTV Olympic Anthem. Click here to see it. What can I say... I beleive.

1. Doritos Crash the Superbowl Contest Winners:



2. Brett Favre Staves off Retirement - Hyundai Commercial:



3. Bridgestone - Tires or your Life:



4. David Letterman, Oprah - (the impression is hillarious):



Let me know if I've missed any good ones!

I'm very busy with the Canadian Field Hockey assignment this week and next, so I will continue to post my reports here. Tonight, the teams will play their third match of the series - the first one on the mainland. So far, 15,000 tickets have been sold for the remaining 5 matches, so i will be an incredible atmosphere. If you are interested in attending or finding out any other information, visit www.fieldhockey.ca.
