Thanks Alexandre, you made the whole of Canada proud!!!
Gold Canada Gold !!!
Read the news of Alexandre Bilodeau winning gold and watch his performance. An excerpt,
“It’s really getting me right now,” he [Alexandre] said. “My brother has been an inspiration for me. Growing up with a brother that’s handicapped, you learn so much.”
At home in Montreal, Bilodeau was always lightning quick, a natural athlete who excelled at hockey then devoted himself to freestyle skiing. Frederic, five years older and slowed down by cerebral palsy, did not begrudge but his brother but instead became his biggest supporter.
“It puts everything in perspective. If I have the chance to train, I’ll take it. Even if it’s raining, I’ll take it. He doesn’t even have that chance,” Bilodeau said. “He has all the right to complain. And he never complains.”
Here is Alexandre’s Wikipedia page.
