What a day for Canada!

3 Gold medals and a Bronze to take Canada to a whopping total of 13 Gold , 7 Silver and 5 Bronze. Sounds like a lot of records were broken today, with ‘most Gold by Canada in a single day’ and ‘most Gold by a host nation’ amongst them

I was lucky enough to be there, and had a fantastic night. The atmosphere was electric, with the sliding center being an exciting venue to be a spectator. As the final competitor (Martins Dukurs from Latvia) was coming down, his time at the splits was always just faster than Jon’s, but you could see the gap was closing. It wasn’t until Martins actually crossed the finish line that Jon’s time became the best, and Jon became the Olympic Champion!

Another amazing day, lots of sunshine and excitement in the air. I was hoping that the day would later come to become known as ‘Britt Janyk Day’ – but despite racing a great race, her 6th best time left her off the podium

Yesterday the premier event of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games took place. The Mens Downhill.
Final results: Gold – Didier Defago (Switzerland), Silver – Aksel Lund Svindal (Norway) and Bronze – Bode Miller (US)

Congratulations Alexandre Bilodeau on being the first Canadian to win Gold on home soil !!!! Mens Moguls Champion !!!
