I decided to not wake up this morning for the events but its a great thing to wake up to! Ted-Jan Bloeman won gold in the men's 10000m and Team Luge won silver!

In what event ???  

 

Sorry I am at work can't watch right now.

 

Silver in luge relay and gold in 10,000m speed skating!

Good day for Canada, winning three medals, including a gold in the 10,000m speed skating event. Both ice hockey teams got their win as did men's curling. Women's curling on the other hand had a bad start to the tournament, losing both games. It's not over for them, but they need to use the mixed doubles team as inspiration and try to turn things around. Tomorrow will be another quiet day, but women's skeleton will begin along with men's figure skating and of course curling will be in action.

Tomorrow there's also the women's 5000m in Speed Skating and the men's 15km Freestyle in Cross Country that Canada has at least an outside shot in.

Thank you

 

Woohoo.  I wasn't expecting silver in Luge relay.  Good for us.

I mean a 7th and 8th place busy compared to Sochi. It’s a better type of busy eh?

Sochi was a scandal for the men's team.  Not bad placings, and there's still the 50km, but it never really looked like Alex was in any race.  Failing to qualify for the sprint was insane.

Now to see if Homan can hold on.

At this point I think we can forget about a medal in women's curling. Rachel Homan and her team are playing possibly the worst curling of their career...

 

Canada is the only winless team in the tournament, and Homan is playing like she wants to be 0-9.
