Recommended Posts

This was just in. Barbara Ann Scott, the only Canadian to win a gold medal in Olympic figure skating, has died at the age of 84. May she rest in peace.

A sad day and the passing of an era, as well. She always seemed to be such a cheery and vivacious character. Whether winning an Olympic gold medal, carrying the Olympic torch in Newfoundland to begin the 1988 relay or in Parliament for the 2010 relay or in her role at the Vancouver ceremonies carrying the Olympic flag, she always had that little smile and twinkle in her eye. Rest in peace, Barbara Ann.
