Go CANADA Go!

Today was Canada's best day at the Olympics with four more medals!  

The Canada 1 team of Caillie Humphries and Heather Moyse took gold, whle the Canada 2 team of Helen Upperton and Shelley-Ann Brown took silver (moving up from 3rd with their last run) in the Women's Bobsleigh event.

The gold medal, our 7th, ties us with Germany and the USA for the most gold medals at these games.

Also tonight, our Women's 3000m Short Track Relay team picked up a silver medal after the Koreans were disqualified for interference with the Chinese team.    In addition, three Canadian men have qualified for the next round of the 500m Short Track event, and three Canadian women have moved on in the 1000m event.

Earlier in the today, 37-year old Canadian flag-bearer, Clara Hughes took the bronze in the Women's 3000m Speed Skating event at the Richmond Oval.   It was an inspired race, and a great end to her speed skating career.   Clara now has six Olympic medals (including two in cycling from Atlanta in 1996) tying her with teammate and fellow speed skater Cindy Klassen for the most ever by a Canadian.

Oh, and apparently there was a hockey game, or something, this afternoon...

Tomorrow, the curling playoffs begin, three Canadian men vie for medals in Aerials, the women's hockey team faces the USA for gold, and Joannie Rochette returns to the ice for the ladies Free Skate in what is sure to be another emotional evening for her.
