Ka-CHING!! Clara Hughes picks off the bronze in the women's 5000m speed skate! Woo-hoo! Her sixth medal in three olympics. She also won a medal or two as a bike racer in the summer games. Edit - FOUR olympics!! First meal was in 1996, and here she is, still winning medals fourteen years later! Woo-hoo!

The Russians are falling apart, 2 goals for Canada in 46 seconds. 3-0 Canada
Meanwhile the Americans are secretly struggling with their lurking fear of Luongo ...

THE ICE IS RED WITH BLOOD!! RUSSIAN BLOOD!!!
Man, this is one crazy game. 6-2 for the Hosers, and we're not even halfway through the second period.
Losing to you Merricans was the best thing that ever happened to the Canadians. Hope to see you in the Gold Medal Game.

Congrats to the Swede curlers! I verily hope we will be buying you beers tomorrow!
And best of luck to the Shagadelic Cheryl [almost alliteration, eh?] as they battle the Swiss Misses tomorrow.

7-3 Canada over Russia in mens hockey. No one predicted that kind of wash out against the once mighty Russians.
Canada is finding it's stride, with every game it plays.
The Americans need to prepare for utter humiliation ...

Turn about is fair play, eh? It was most assuredly utter humiliation when we played the Merricans the other night.

I saw some of the mens' 4 x 10 km relay at the Scandinavian Centre. An amazing finish by Northug - now he has one gold, one silver, and one bronze. Norway just about had a national crisis when he came 41st in an early event, due to waxing problems. He's favourite for the 50 km on Sunday.
It shouldn't be overlooked that Clara Hughes won a bronze in speed skating today. She is the only athlete ever to have won more than one medal in both the summer and winter Olympics. Two bronze in 1996 in cycling, bronze in speed skating in 2002, gold, silver and bronze in speed skating in 2006, and now another bronze.

Easy there Bruce.
The Canucks who regularly play in that building have a bad habit of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

The other cool thing about bobsleigh is that they have extremely cool rides. All the sleighs are done up quite colourfully. I didn't quite see one with shark's teeth, or anything along those lines, but both sleighs and costumes are lively.
