The entire country watched Monday night, as ComoxB次元官网网址檚 Cassie Sharpe laid down the top two runs of the entire competition to win the ladiesB次元官网网址� 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.

ItB次元官网网址檚 not often that anyone is recognized by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau:

Another gold for Team Canada and a first in womenB次元官网网址檚 ski halfpipe! Congratulations .

B次元官网网址� Justin Trudeau (@JustinTrudeau)

But the PM himself was B次元官网网址渙ut-cooled,B次元官网网址� when Ryan Reynolds expressed his Canadian pride.

And there was reaction from the hill as well. Two-time Canadian Olympian Perdita Felicien posted a video of CassieB次元官网网址檚 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.

B次元官网网址淚 think we all watched it with a bit of nervousnessB次元官网网址� but it was a great result and certainly something that we are all really proud of,B次元官网网址� 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.

B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 pretty cool to see that,B次元官网网址� said Ives. B次元官网网址淎 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.B次元官网网址�

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

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

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