My hometown Canada, Vancouver British Columbia is proudly hosting the 2010 Winter Olympics....cool eh?....that is not the coolest part... My amazing mom for over 6 years has trained weekly in a competitive sport called dragon boat racing.

"A dragon boat or "dragonboat" is a very long and narrow, canoe style human powered boat now used in the team paddling sport of dragon boat racing which originated in China over 2000 years ago Like running, horse racing and marksmanship, the racing of dragon boats is among mankind's oldest organized competitions."

She has won many gold medals, competed internationally and has inspired us all with her amazing strength in her sixty's! Okay here is the cool part....her elect gold winning team called the "Grandragons" was chosen to hold the Olympic torch during the torch relay! Vancouver 2010 Olympics torch relay will be the largerst 45,000-kilometre journey in Olympic history travelling throughout all of Canada. I am so proud of her. We will all be cheering you on Grandma!
