Definitely an awesome experience of being a part of the winter Olympics, especially we got to win gold over here in our home turf. Kinda brings out the pride and patriotism in all Canadians. One thing I do notice during the games was the sudden hype and rushed of Canadian fever like when you go down Robson St. in downtown you'll see a sea of red cheering fans for the Canadian team. Amazing on how people would even line up at the Olympic store just to buy merchandise and see how that affected people to get into the Canadian High.
I felt that the sudden rushed started when we first won our first gold during the games thats where everyone started to slowly build up and continue cheering on for Canada. Everywhere from the streets of downtown, to the neighborhoods and even at the Ozone everyone was just having a great time all cheering together for Canada. It was great to see how everyone got together to join in this celebration.
Definitely things I looked out for was the sponsors during the event. I can see how Lululemon definitely tried to create it presence by supporting the jackets for the CTV news team. How Coke still manages to push their water brand Dasani to all the athletes to especially during TV spots during the event. Sadly I wasnt able to go to downtown to experience the big happenings but one thing is for certain after this event I can definitely see how people are really into seeing Canada as a strong brand and Hudson Bay being the official supplier has definitely made a difference and I wouldn't be surprise if they had an increase of sales during the games.
