Canada wins first ever gold medal at home!

Canada has shaken off the monkey that has been sitting on its back since Montreal 1976. Never before has a Canadian won an Olympic gold medal on home soil - until now. Alexandre Bilodeau won the gold medal in the men's moguls, beating the world number one, Australian Dale Begg-Smith, who won silver. Bryon Wilson won the bronze for the United States.

Congratulations to Alexandre Bilodeau for winning Canada's first Gold on home soil! / Félicitations à Alexandre Bilodeau pour avoir gagné la première médaille d'or du Canada à la maison!
