Canadian skeleton specialist, Jon Montgomery won Canada's fourth gold, and eighth medal overall last night. It was an exciting run for the Russell Manitoba native, who narrowly edged the Latvian skeleton racer, while also establishing a record time on the Whistler track. Congratulations to him and all the racers. I also would like to acknowledge the Canadians who took part in the unbelievable celebration that occured in Whistler after Montgomery's win. It is definitely a moment that will be burned into Canadian history, and fills many with pride.
Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir came in second place for Canada in the compulsary ice dance. They put in a very gutsy skate in completing their tango romantica. They scored only one point behind the world champion Russians. The competition continues on Sunday, with the finals coming on Monday.
The men's and women's Canadian curling teams have been making short work of their opponents. The men's team beat Denmark by a score of 10-3 yesterday. The men are back in action tonight as they take on team Britain at 7:00pm EST.
