You would have this sweater.

And if you took all the light from all the torches that crossed this country in the relay, you’d end up with something that shines as brightly as the sweater does.

But the real reason I’m wearing it? It’s gold! Like the medals Canada is winning.

Because my theory is the more gold we wear, the more gold we win. Makes sense, right?

    Apparrellel — yes! Test it and let me know if it works!

    EvaLotta — But only in events where the Swedes aren’t competing against Canadians ;)

    Miss Neira — Could you pull of silver or bronze? That way we could guarantee even more medals.

    Shnappy — Why thank ya!
