Canada has now got 2!!
« on: February 12, 2006, 10:16:07 PM »
Well, it has been a pretty good start for Canada at the Olympics!!  They now have 2 medals, a gold from the women's Moguls, and Cindy Klassen from Winnipeg picked up a bronze today in the 3000 m Speed Skating event!!  Good on her for getting the Bronze, she was a favorite, and holds the WR in the event, but had a slip on the last lap, and got the Bronze.  I can't imagine how hard it would be to even win a medal, no matter the color!!  So great job Cindy, she has 4 more events left, wish her luck!!
  As fro the women's Hockey team, well, I don't think that much needs to be said of that!! :o  Things seem to be going along as planned, 28-0 in 2 games!!  Bring on the Americans!! ;D ;D

Canada picked up another medal in the women's XC team sprint event!! Becky Scott & Sara Renner were able to pick up the Silver after Sara broke her ski pole on a climb and a Norwegian Coach ran out and gave her a spare!! She had dropped into 4th, but was able to get it going again!!  Hat's off to team Norway for showing a ton of Olympic Spirit, and a classy move!! ;D ;D
  As for the Womens Hockey team, they picked up an 8-1 win over Sweden today, and now head to the Semi-finals against Finland on Friday!! ;D ;D  Outscoring their opponents 36-1 in the 3 prelim games!! :o ;D

Lou will turn things around with his game and the Canucks will make their way back to the top of their division... Canuck's have a great chance of going all the way this year... maybe you can save this post so I can say I told you so in a couple of months Smiley

Yeah, it wasn't the best game, but Mojo is right on!!!  They seemed a bit jet lagged in the first, stormed out and looked good in the second, and maybe sat back a bit after the 7th goal in the third!!  Wouldn't want to run up the score, and get the whining and moaning that the Women's team is getting!! ::) ::)  What a joke that is!! >:(

It's shaping up fairly well so far. We're at 8 medals, 1 gold, 3 silver and 4 bronze. We're in 5th place in the overall medal standings and we're ahead of notables such as China and Austria. Keep up the good work boys (and girls).
