A nation celebrates...







It was one of the most incredible scenes I've witnessed today as tens of thousands of jubilant Canadians rushed into the streets after their record 14th gold medal ... and over the U.S. in hockey. A bridge into downtown closed so fans could march toward the closing ceremony, grocery stores served chocolate cake outside. I walked alongside them, soaking it in. "You're American, I'm sorry," one guy said to me, hugging his friend. "This mattered so much to us." Yes, I'm American, but I am thrilled for the Canadians.
