FIRST GOLD GOES TO...................................ALEX BILODEAU

On Sunday February, 14 2010 history was made on Cypress Mountain, BC, Canada, as Canada's Alex Bilodeau took home the first ever gold medal on home soil in the Olympics. Everyone expected Jennifer Heil to win the first gold medal in woman's moguls. However it was the opposite gender but same sport that took home the gold. His brother Frédéric Bilodeau was born with cerebral palsy. Brother Alex said, "he is my insipration, and a differance maker in my life." The docter told Frédéric that he wouldn't walk after the age of 10, not only did he walk after 10 he was skiing the slops with his brother. Alex said,"On the days that I don't want to go train, I think of Frédéric and how he can't go train." There is 1 gold medal for Canada so far, but i know that there will be more to come.
