The Winter Olympics have not treated host nation Canada as well as it may have hoped. Despite launching "Own the Podium," a $120 million effort designed to maximize the country's medal haul, Canada has just nine medals and trails neighboring U.S. by 15 in the overall medal count . Losing to Team USA in Sunday's hockey match only made things worse.

There are some bright spots, however, including Jon Montgomery. He won a gold medal in the Olympic skeleton competition on Friday, and as the Sporting Blog notes , Montgomery celebrated in style. Scroll down for video of Montgomery being cheered as he enters Canada House, as well as still shots of him celebrating with a massive pitcher of beer. (For video of the pitcher, click here .)
