1. Cross-Country Skiing: Who will be the highest ranked Canadian in the Women's 50km Mass Start Classic? 

Jasmine Drolet (Answered Correctly: George_D)

And those were the only two questions I asked as far as I'm concerned. I don't remember putting down any other questions, definitely not.

And finally, thank you to everyone who participated in the contest. It was a lot of fun to organize and I hope you guys had a fun time too.

 

And also thank you to everyone who was a part of the Team Canada Club during these Olympics. Even though it wasn't the Games we all wanted, the discussions with you guys on this club made these made for some great times and I'm incredibly thankful for this community! I hope to see all of you continue to stick around now that the Games are over.

Also on a more positive note, anyone know of any young athletes to keep an eye on over the next 4 years?

 

Think we had a similar discussion after Paris 2024 as well.

As a hockey fan, keep an eye on Connor Bedard, Matthew Schaefer, and Gavin McKenna. And Macklin Celebrini's only going to get better by 2030. Sebastian Cossa also has potential to be an excellent goaltender as well.

By young, how young do you mean? 20? 23?

In any case, I’ll just do 23 and under and say how old each of them are. Unfamiliar on a lot of the up and comers, so I’m definitely missing a lot.
