Olympic Pressure

Original Air Date: Friday, July 27, 2012

The Olympics' opening ceremonies mark the beginning of the 2012 Summer Games in London. The Canadian team's goal - a top 12 finish in the overall medal count.

But for every glorious rendition of "O Canada" we hear, many more finishes will fall short of the podium.

Are we putting too much pressure on our Olympians to win? Or do our athletes thrive when we demand their best?

We get an Olympian’s perspective from Helen Upperton, Silver Medal Winner in Vancouver as a Pilot on the Canadian Women's Bobsleigh Team.
