When you consider where the men's cross country team was, even as recently as Torino its remarkable how far they've come. Their results in Vancouver got lost in the Own the Podium obsession but this will really help mark a turnaround for the sport in Canada. Hopefully seeing Canada on the podium will become as common as seeing the other Nordic powers during the next few years.
Bravo au carré à Alex et Devon! Un Québécois et un Ontarien au sommet de leur art (et ce n'est que le début!). Ça nous renforce toutes et tous en tant que fils et filles de l'hiver!
Congratulations Canada! I will of course always root for Norway, but this is good for the sport, cool for Canada and of course (I hope) a memory for a lifetime for the two guys. Congrats again :)

"...and the WORLD CHAMPIONS....CANADAAAAA!"
Woooooohooooo! Congrats Alex and Devon!!!!
Beating Norway on home snow is the icing on the cake!
This is just the start! There's a million Canuck kids inspired by this! Watch out Europa! Might as well put your skis away, Russkies!
