2 days before she skated, her mum died, what a brave girl...

From this angle you can see how fast she is!
Close-ups on TV never catch the speed.

Bronze, silver or gold, Joannie's spirit shines through her performance, skating from her heart. Beautiful, graceful, exciting to watch. So courageous after everything she went through.

WOW incredibly courageous and inspiring, and she got a bronze out of this, when some people said she wouldn't even skate. WOW. doesn't matter that the medal was a bronze; in my mind, her medal is gold. incredibly determined and as scott hamilton said, a superhuman amount of courage

You are my hero! I'm 46 yrs old. I could never do that in ANY capacity, never mind losing my mom! You get EXTRA points in my "book". , just for competing, never mind WINNING a BRONzE medal in the Olympics!

@jamarsano plus you can see her tracings on the ice-- TV cameras NEVER catch those!

Thanks for posting. I'm surprised the IOC hasn't hunted you down and killed you, then sued your corpse.

@funwill I agree! She EARNED that medal the olde fashioned way...hard work, determination and some help from a another great lady up above! I think if she hadn't stepped out of that triple, she could have very possibly got the silver....I just hope we see her again in '14. :) I'm American but I love Canada too!!!! VIVE North America :)

She is an inspiration to everyone. Just wonderful! I am so proud of my FrenchCanadien hertiage :)

LOVE the choreography of this program. When I first saw this at Canadian Nationals (on youtube, I'm American) I thought it was the best choreographed of all the frees. I''m so glad she nailed it (except for the flip) here!!! Love her.

Oh my god. What a performance. Her mother has died, and she goes out on home ice to do her best. What an inspiration.
Sorry, my finger is on the microphone for the first 25 seconds, The sound does get better...
