A very interesting turn of the events in the Olympics, these last few days: Canada gained another 3 gold medals (and a bronze) today, bringing our total to 25: 13 gold, 7 silver, and 5 bronze.
Today's medals were earned by:
Gold - Men's Speed Skating Team Pursuit
Gold - Men's Snowboard Parallel Giant Slalom
Gold - Men's Curling
Bronze - 4-Man Bobsleigh
All our medals won today were won by men. Interesting, since over the past few days there's been talk of our women carrying the national team on their shoulders, on account of their many medals. I think this balances the equation somewhat.
Another interesting note is that we're currently tied with Norway and Germany for the most ever gold medals won by a host nation at the Winter Olympics: 13. If we win gold against the US in hockey tomorrow, we'll break that record and own the new one.
Go Canada Go!
