Olympic Update

Canada picked up it's fourth gold medal of the games when Jon Montgomery came from behind in the last run of the Men's Skeleton event to win (after 4 runs) by a margin of only 0.07 seconds.

Things didn't work out so well for Melissa Hollingsworth who, as the current World Cup leader, was considered the favorite in the Women's Skeleton but who finished 5th in her last run and missed the podium entirely.

Scott Virtue and Tessa Moir started off strong in the Compulsory Dance with a personal best and are stting in second position going in to the Original Dance and Free Dance competitions, while Vanessa Crone and Paul Poirier are in 15th.

The Men's Curling team skipped by Kevin Martin sits atop the standings at 5-0, while our Women's team is tied for top spot with Sweden at 4-0. 

The Men's Hockey team sits a point behind the USA in Group A, and the two teams meet on Sunday, while the Women's team has cruised into the semi-finals against Finland, winning Group A and outscoring their opposition 41-2.

I have also uploaded all my photos (and many videos) to my Flickr account and organized them into a bunch of categories if you wanted to see more photos than I am able to post in my blog.
