The entire country watched Monday night, as Comox乌鸦传媒檚 Cassie Sharpe laid down the top two runs of the entire competition to win the ladies乌鸦传媒� 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.

It乌鸦传媒檚 not often that anyone is recognized by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau:

Another gold for Team Canada and a first in women乌鸦传媒檚 ski halfpipe! Congratulations .

But the PM himself was 乌鸦传媒渙ut-cooled,乌鸦传媒� when Ryan Reynolds expressed his Canadian pride.

Go !!@CassieSharpe is a legend 乌鸦传媒� makin乌鸦传媒� it look easy. And thank you & for agreeing to raise my children as your own.馃嚚馃嚘

The Reynolds tweet grabbed the attention of the champion herself:

This is 乌鸦传媒榓lmost乌鸦传媒� as good as winning gold today!!!! Thank you 馃憦馃徏馃弳

And there was reaction from the hill as well. Two-time Canadian Olympian Perdita Felicien posted a video of Cassie乌鸦传媒檚 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.

乌鸦传媒淚 think we all watched it with a bit of nervousness乌鸦传媒� but it was a great result and certainly something that we are all really proud of,乌鸦传媒� 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.

乌鸦传媒淚t乌鸦传媒檚 pretty cool to see that,乌鸦传媒� said Ives. 乌鸦传媒淎 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.乌鸦传媒�

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

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

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