GOLD FOR CANADA!!

and it wasn't who you'd expect!

Chandra Crawford from Canmore, Alta

a mere 22 years old, GOLDEN

favourite Beckie Scott finished 4th, and looked off in the final.

Great day already for Canada at the games.

I must say though that was some exciting skiing to watch. I never even knew a sprint event like that existed. Definitley worth watching the replays if you haven't seen it yet!

3 more medals as well for Canada - gold and silver in long-track speed skating and silver in roller derby. Seriously, short track speed skating has to be the most stressful sport to watch.

yup,
what a day for Canada.

Shame Beckie couldn't make the podium,
then Torino would really be waving red and white.

Did you see the Korean skater in the short track, when she went down in that 2nd start, kicked at the Canadian girl?

nice sportsmanship, pathetic.
