The photos that moved us the most

Sometimes, one image says it all. The crowd going wild, smiles everywhere, families, athlete connections, in resume: pure energy.

This year, the photos speak for themselves:

The Golden Ticket that got the most love

Anna Shea – no debate here.

From her interview with Bob, to the announcement of her presence in Mississauga, to her standout moments on vert (yes, even the slams), Anna won over the crowd and the community across every platform.
