As Canada starts piling up medals -- that's four in fewer than 24 hours -- the optimism among Canadians is rising, too.
Canadian Olympic officials came in with an ambitious goal: to have our athletes finish among the top 12 countries in overall medals.
As of Wednesday morning, with five medals (one silver, four bronze) Canada is tied for 11th place.
Not bad at all.
