I would be lying if I said Canada was proud of you, because the entire world thinks you're an absolute inspiration.

Joannie Rochette is a Canadian Olympic figure skater. Her parents flew to Vancouver from Montreal to watch her perform. Her mother suffered a heart attack and died shortly after they arrived, two days before she was set to perform.

Being the total and absolute champ that she is, she skated anyways and skated perfectly. Then broke down into tears on the ice.

The amount of love that the audience showed her before she skated, during every jump and after she performed was phenomenal.

She's currently in third place.

Here is a short article about it.
