[2006 Winter Olympics] First Medal for Canada is GOLD!!

**nutmegs** · 02-11-2006, 12:57 PM

Congrats to Jennifer Heil of Alberta who captured Canada's first medal - a GOLD in Women's Moguls.

And of course it takes a woman to get the ball the rollin'!!

Let's see what the men can do in response.

A North Van boy, Manual Osborne-Paradis, has a good chance for a medal after finishing second in the final downhill training run. Race goes tomorrow.

Article on the Heil's gold here.

Jennifer Heil is cute, but she is lucky there are no hotness points awarded.

Kari Traa:

Yes, the silver medal on that podium was being worn by a 10+ hottie.

TheRob...don't care what others say, you're getting sharper in your old age.

TheRob · 02-15-2006, 10:24 AM

Pissed off right now.

A good Canadian kid was sitting third in the moguls when the last skier came up. The last guy was a Canadian that skis for Australia, and still lives in Vancouver. He wins and knocks the Canadian off the podium.

Traitor scum!!!!!

Keeper · 02-15-2006, 01:33 PM

Yeah, I hear you. Go Donovan Bailey!

TheRob · 02-15-2006, 02:04 PM

Different situation. Thanks for that though.

Another Bronze.

Canada has won its fourth medal of the Winter Olympics.

Anouk LeBlanc-Boucher captured bronze in the women's 500 m short-track speed skating event after the Chinese competitor was disqualified.

Wang Meng of China captured the gold in a time of 44.345 followed by Evgenia Radanova of Russia taking the silver.

LeBlanc-Boucher, in her first Olympic Games, finished in a time of 44.759.

Kalyna Roberge of Montreal was classified fifth after winning the B final.

Good day for Canada.

A silver in mens speedskating - team pursuit
A silver in womens speedskating - team pursuit
A bronze in womens skeleton.
A bronze in mens figure skating

I wonder if this is some kind of record for medals in a day for Canada.

**Hands of Stone** · 02-16-2006, 10:04 PM

Who cares, those are great tits TR!

**Yoda** · 02-16-2006, 10:56 PM

Is it just me or does canada need some sports psychologists?
We have the worst records for people failing when it counts.
Between Emmanuel Sandhu (figure skating), whom everyone was afraid of and he flopped to Perdita Felician. Is it just me or do Canadians fail when it really counts?

bulljive · 02-17-2006, 12:55 AM

Fukc sandhu what a clown that guy is. When asked about his performance and what happened he begins to explain something about how it all began in 98 when he was left of the olympic team.saying they really need to realize what they did and think about it before they do something like that again. Get the fukc over it you fruit cake and land one of those axel things. From what they were saying this guy sees plenty of sports psychologists.

You should see one yourself, numb nuts. It's figure skating and you're fcuking watching it! Who's the fruit cake? The arse pirate wearing white skates or the one who is following him?

**knvb** · 02-17-2006, 01:26 AM

You stole my thunder...

Keeper · 02-17-2006, 11:07 AM

Top sports to watch, so far:

1. Speed Skating (all kinds, but especially women's team pursuit)
2. Boardercross
3. Downhill Skiing

Did anyone else hear Brian Williams rave yesterday about how Canadians always do well in newly introduced Olympic sports? Yeah, right -- as soon as it's been around for a few years, other countries train better and surpass us .

TheRob · 02-17-2006, 12:11 PM

Two medals in Skeleton for the men. Gold and Silver.

The Swedish women beat the Americans today in a shoot out. How cool is that?!?

TheRob · 02-22-2006, 07:58 AM

Another gold, and I'm happy. This one smacks of doping though.

Quote:

Crawford Is Golden

Canada has another Olympic gold medal in Torino.
Chandra Crawford of Canmore, Alta., won the gold medal in the Olympic women's cross-country ski sprint while Beckie Scott of Vermilion, Alta., finished fourth.

Crawford sped past German Claudia Kuenzel midway through the four-women final and cruised to victory in two minutes 12.3 seconds for Canada's fourth gold of the Games.
Crawford's race capped a meteoric rise to the top of the podium.

The 22-year-old is in just her second year on the national team and her previous best finish on the World Cup circuit was 10th earlier this season. She was 46th at the world championships last year.

Let's hope not.

Dude · 02-22-2006, 08:11 AM

Hopefully it's just a case of maturing at the right time.

TheRob · 02-22-2006, 10:56 AM

Two more speedskating medals. Gold for Klassen and a silver. Can't remember her name.

I have a thing for Cindy Klassen. I can't explain it.

**knvb** · 02-22-2006, 11:44 PM

I can. Her legs could crush your head with a single squeeze.

Dude · 02-24-2006, 12:35 PM

Well, we won another gold, this time in ice bowling.

Mixed feelings...although I'm happy that we've added to our medal count, it is sort of like an asterix for me. Not really a "Sport", is it? Game? Yes. Game played by athletes? No. Back to the age old debate...if it doesn't involve raising your heart rate above 100, it can't be classified as a sport?

Anyhow...yay for ice bowling.

TheRob...your thoughts?
