They went WAY TOO FAR !!! This isn't a college dorm, this is the OLYMPICS ! They're ambassadors for their country and to act like liken drunken college chicks instead of Olympians is simply open disrespect.

I think it was a hoot--no difference than our local elite having a golf tournamant or match. They just don't get filmed and on TV.

I think it was great they earned it. I'm sure all of Canada would liked to have joined them

As a non-drinker, I still have no problem with this. Maaaybe, it would have been a little better to have just celebrated in the locker room but FOR CRYING OUT LOUD , they just won the Gold Medal !
What they did is no biggie ... unless they broke some rules then the cigar-smoking ladies will have to answer accordingly. But the right to celebrate - no problem.

They look so pretty and happy. They won THE GOLD. Leave them alone for their moment.

Leave them alone, they earned the win and made their nation proud. At least no one took off her jersey and twirled it around, like the U.S. soccer player did a few years back.
