What a huge day for Canada yesterday. First, Clara Hughes finishes her Olympic career by winning a bronze in the ladies' 5000m long track speed skating. Then, Canada destroys Russia 7-3 in an awesome quarterfinals game for men's hockey. Then, when everyone thought the day was over, it wasn't even close. During the 3rd period of the hockey game, Canada's ladies (Kalyna Roberge, Jessica Gregg, Tanya Vicent and Marianne St. Gelais) get a silver medal in the ladies' 3000m short track speed skating relay. And after all that, the biggest story of all: Kaillie Humphries and Heather Moyse get gold while Helen Upperton and Shelley-Ann Brown get silver as Canada doubles up on the podium for bobsleigh!! Allow me to indulge for a minute and drink my sweet podium-flavoured Kool-Aid:
Thank you.
Although there isn't as many events today, they are pretty much all of relevance. The final matches for the women's hockey play out to determine who's winning medals, with Canada facing USA for gold and Finland facing Sweden for bronze. There is also semifinals for men's and women's curling, as Cheryl Bernard's rink takes on Switzerland and Kevin Martin's rink takes on Sweden. There are also medal events for figure skating, aerials, slalom, cross-country and nordic combined. Schedule below, check out ctvolympics.ca and vancouver2010.com as always for tons of Canadian coverage.
9:00 Women's Curling: Semifinals - Canada vs Switzerland, China vs Sweden (sorry boys, no more hot Danes or Russians :P )
9:30 Alpine Skiing: Ladies' Giant Slalom 2nd Run (medal event)
10:00 Nordic Combined: Individual LH/10km CC - Competition Round
11:00 Cross-Country Skiing: Ladies 4X5km Relay Classic/Free (medal event)
11:00 Women's Hockey: Bronze Medal Match - Sweden vs Finland
13:00 Nordic Combined: Individual LH/10km CC - 10km (medal event)
14:00 Men's Curling: Semifinals - Norway vs Switzerland, Canada vs Sweden
15:30 Women's Hockey: Gold Medal Match - Canada vs USA (medal event)
17:00 Figure Skating: Ladies' Free Skate (medal event)
18:00 Freestyle Skiing: Men's Aerials Finals (medal event)
Canadian Athletes to Watch For:
-Both curling teams are playing in the semifinals today, trying to earn spots in the gold-medal matches that will play out on Friday (women) and Saturday (men).
-The women's hockey team, of course, as they go for their 3rd straight Olympic gold. It's also a rematch of the 2002 gold-medal match, which originally sky-rocketed their popularity this last decade.
-Joannie Rochette is currently sitting in 3rd place after the short program for the ladies' figure skating. She is currently 2.42 points off of 2nd place and 7.14 points off of 1st place, but she has a 6.6 point lead on 4th.
-Dasha Gaiazova, Chandra Crawford, Perianne Jones and Madeleine Williams will form the relay team for the cross-country skiing.
-Kyle Nissen, Steve Omischl, and and Warren Shouldice are among the 12 finalists for the men's aerials. All 3 are currently in the top 10 on the world circuit, and hope to get their first Olympic medal.
Here's your thread. Let's have some more fun, I like it :)

Also a shout out to the men’s 4×10km relay race with their best finish at that event in 7th.
Weather-wise Tamara Taggart said there’s likely to be more fog tomorrow so that might ruin the Alpine events.
-i would’ve mentioned the relay, but so many other more exciting things happened and took precedence.
-the slalom run was originally supposed to be today, but got postponed. i was thinking of mentioning it, but that also got swept under everything.

No more Danish and Russian women curlers was pretty crushing, but the Slovakian upset of Sweden more than made up for it.
Glad we don’t have to face Sweden and Lundquist!
Joannie Rochette's day
This will probably be the first time in my life that I will put figure skating above all other sports, and yes, that includes our upcoming women’s hockey gold.
The fact she is competing this week is remarkable. The fact that she has a terrific shot at a medal as long as she skates cleanly is incredible.
Unbelievable courage, and I truly hope the roof comes down tonight at Pacific Coliseum, regardless of how she ends up skating.
Knights, Canucks, Dolphins, Jays and Raptors all the way.
If it helps, I came across a fantastic figure skating drinking game that enhances the viewing. It also helps if you have nothing to do for the day.

It was written before the big game…but can you imagine what this douche will write about that!!??
As if Sochi will be as successful as Vancouver’s. As far as viewership goes, for instance…the IOC has already said this is the most watched Oly games, summer or winter…ever!!! He flat out blames the sad accident with Nodar Kashevilli (sp) on Canada as a whole…but hey. Its just his opinion…we hope!!!
The article is fun to read… ( in a sad way ) if you don’t take it seriously.
Me, I am still basking in the reflective light of that awesome ass kicking last night.
Ahhhhhhhhh……yessss…Russian tears are the best tears…

Seriously, the Russians spent 30-40 years in a giant “my dad can beat up your dad” type arms escalation with the nation we are supposedly inferior to. I mean come on. Russia should have the Queen on their stamps too, right alongside FDR and Churchill with a caption that simply says, “Your Welcome, you Fucking commy bastards.” Cruelty? Do Russians not remember how they used to shoot their own soldiers if they didn’t get shot by the Germans? They killed more of their own people than the “enemy”. What a bunch of fucking idiots. Canada isn’t fit to host a major international event? Does this piece of shit not realize that when Moscow hosted the Champions League final between Man United and Chelsea it was a disaster. People with tickets not being able to get visas to enter Russia. Are they seriously that worried about people coming into their country? Cause no one is going to want to stay in that shit hole. The pitch the game was played on was in terrible shape and it rained the whole time. Torrential down pour in the middle of summer. We’re not fit to host an international event? Russia isn’t fit to host a fucking tea party.

Hahah funny enough, I can understand that reference.
I’d like to see them rebound with mother nature and technical mishaps against them. This article’s almost as bad as all that negative UK drivel.
In hindsight, we took those issues in stride for the most part. It’s definitely not stopping the buzz all around Greater Vancouver. They seem to still be enjoying themselves.

Yeah…I was kind of stunned as I read it.
But then I understood, like you Section, that it is just part of that inferiority complex.
Which…to be honest…if we had lost…would be the same in Canada…just like Bryz’ said… ( The collective naval gazing would have reached amazing heights… )
Good thing we had the “gorillas out of the cage”!
What a great night…and once again…no major problems on the packed streets.
Now…as long as we do the same to the Slovaks…and Demo ( has he been great or what??) doesn’t get hurt…with Sweden going out and the Twins getting some rest…it has set up perfectly for Canucks fans too.
Demo needed the work, and will come back flying. Twins get rest. Luongo coming off a hopefully huge high…and jacked about playing up to the hype.
Not sure about how NHL hockey will feel after this though…!
Peace
"Of course you know, this means war!!"

That whole article was like the equivalent of saying, “hey everyone, look how big Russia’s penis is.”
Sedin’s get rest, Canada moves on with Luongo in net and so far Salo hasn’t picked up an injury. Most importantly it seems Demo is getting back to something close to his best and if he can carry that on into the NHL season we are in good shape. Plus it seems like Bieksa is getting healthy. Let’s hope Mitchell does the same thing.
The Olympics men’s hockey is going well so far for Canuck fans.

I’m pretty stoked that the Nucks roster’s guaranteed a medal in each colour. Harsh morale booster.
I still miss Mitchell. The aftermath of that hit makes me pissed at Malkin.

Man, what a great day yesterday. Canada dominated Russia, and did it just in time to show us take two medals in bobsleigh!
I’m really happy for Heather Moyse (Gold bobsled pair) – she played rugby for U of Toronto women’s team around the same time I did for the men’s, so our rugby program now has an Olympic medalist! Plus she is also on the national rugby team. Hell of an athlete!
Very pumped for the women’s game tonight, they’ll be in tough but I think they can do it.

Is anyone else watching this Fin/Swe women’s game?
Fricken’ awesome…hitting and everything. One play where a Swedish forward was hacking at the hands of the goalie and got tossed aside by a Finn was classic…any game of any kind reaction. Great stuff.
RTo say nothing of the female President of Finland being in attendance… great theatre.
She made a point of mentioning that Finland was part of Swden for 600 years once.
Put in that context…it is understandable seeing the emotion and hitting in this game.

Nice to see…I hope those two teams can get up to the Can/USA level…Rogge basically said today it has to happen for women’s hockey to stay in the Olympics…in the Province, I think it was.

Datsyuk strikes me as a guy who plays hard but recognizes that there’s life outside hockey. Don’t know why, but he has always struck me as intelligent and thoughtful… or maybe it’s just the language barrier?

You show me Giggs slaloming through the Arse defence and I will cry like a baby. What a match. Down to ten men, goal waived off for offside, penalty savem Beckham screamer, Bergkamp lucky deflection, it had it all. Then Giggs. My god do I love Giggsy. Watched it with my dad as we did with the CL final. Never forget it.
