The entire country watched Monday night, as Comox91裸聊视频檚 Cassie Sharpe laid down the top two runs of the entire competition to win the ladies91裸聊视频 ski halfpipe gold medal at the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea.

The reaction on social media was immediate, and vast.

From celebrities and fellow Olympians, to the prime minister himself, the congratulatory shout-outs were making the rounds all night.

It91裸聊视频檚 not often that anyone is recognized by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau:

But the PM himself was 91裸聊视频渙ut-cooled,91裸聊视频 when Ryan Reynolds expressed his Canadian pride.

The Reynolds tweet grabbed the attention of the champion herself:

And there was reaction from the hill as well. Two-time Canadian Olympian Perdita Felicien posted a video of Cassie91裸聊视频檚 parents, Chantal and Don, the moment the gold medal was won.

Closer to home, the excitement flowed, with viewing parties at private homes and local eating establishments throughout the Comox Valley.

91裸聊视频淚 think we all watched it with a bit of nervousness91裸聊视频 but it was a great result and certainly something that we are all really proud of,91裸聊视频 said Comox Mayor Paul Ives.

Cassie has been recognized by the Town of Comox on previous occasions. She was a recipient of the Ray Crossley Youth Achievement Award in 2012.

91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 pretty cool to see that,91裸聊视频 said Ives. 91裸聊视频淎 lot of those young people have gone on to bigger and better things as time goes on, but I think this is the first time we have ever seen someone win [an Olympic] gold medal.91裸聊视频

Where does it rank all-time in regards to individual achievements for a Comox athlete?

91裸聊视频淲ell, a few years ago, we had some Olympic athletes from the past honoured; people like Susan Kelsey (swimming, Montreal 1976 91裸聊视频 bronze medal 4x100m medley relay), I think Tom Hershmiller was another one (rowing, Athens 2004 91裸聊视频 silver medal in coxless four; Sydney 2000 91裸聊视频 seventh coxed eight), but certainly in recent memory, I think this is one of the biggest accomplishments we have seen.91裸聊视频

Ives said the Town will discuss options to officially recognize Sharpe at some point, once scheduling and availability is worked out.
