Day 5 of the Olympics has been another fantastic day. While we slept, our
athletes were out there making us prouder than ever. When it comes to
Sportsmanship, Canada sets the standard!
Congratulations to Gilmore Junio the outstanding athlete who gave his place
in the 1,000 M speed skating competition to Denny Morrison who then won the
silver Medal! Denny was really pumped and the Canadian Team must have been on
top of the world when Denny won the silver. This was Canada's first long
track medal of the games. Three cheers and the Team Sportsmanship Gold Medal to
Gilmore!
Coach Justin Wadsworth gave a spare ski to Anton Gafarov so that he could
finished his semi final cross-country sprint. Fantastic! Gafarov courageously
finished the race.
One of our Canadian ladies was helped in a previous Olympic
race by a Norwegian Coach who gave her a ski pole to finish her race. She then
went on to medal. What a great standard to set for the rest of us!
We've all visited Huntsville Ontario and it's one of my favourite places in
Ontario. Congratulations to Huntsville's Dara Howell for her successful
slopestyle race bringing a Gold Medal back to Canada. Dara's team mate Kim
Lamarre won a Bronze.
Go Canada Go! I'm so proud to be a Canadian!
