March 24, 2010: The Paralympic adventure is over and competitions are starting
Hello everyone,
I want to acknowledge the amazing performances of our Paralympic athletes at the Vancouver Games. Their adventure ended last Sunday, March 21st and like Olympic athletes, they collected a lot of medals. Canadians finished third behind Russia (1st place) and Germany (2nd place). Overall, they won 19 medals, 10 of them gold. Those athletes teach us that we need more than talent to realize a dream. We also have to put a lot of effort and courage in.
On my end, I’m in China – a country that I love, for a competition. I’m inspired from the extraordinary performances of our Olympians. I’m so happy to be back in competitions. In competition, diving pushes my limits, on the physical side but on the psychological side as well, and makes me live my passion. All you have to do is work hard and success will follow.
Talk to you soon,
Alex
