Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English) Mike Riddle, Sochi Olympic Halfpipe Freestyle Ski Silver Medallist (on honouring former team-mate Sarah Burke who was killed two years ago in training):
"We owe a lot to her and she's been on my mind this week. I've been thinking about her a lot and she's in my heart. There's been some ups and downs. It's been a bittersweet Olympics. I mean, she should be here and she would have been a gold medal favourite for Canada, for sure, and it it's hard not having her here. But I know that she would want us to do the best we can to put our sport on the world stage and show everyone what we've got. There's been a lot of smiles this week thinking about her too, so it's been good."
