C'mon Justin!!!

Huge steal for Canada!

Also a couple of setting up of medals today. Ice dance and women's big air and ski halfpipe. And of course women's hockey semis.

Should do qualifying and finals on different days, or at least with a bigger break.

We'll take bronze!

I honestly don't understand the judging.

Teal has a clean run, bigger difficulty, better grabs, and somehow gets the same score.

90 points??!! That's bullshit right there.

ABM!

Suddenly the judges are conservative.

Yup.

It's official, three Canucks in the final!

That was the run I knew ABM was capable of! Two, hopefully three, Canadians into the final!

Looking good and fun so far.

So jealous that you were there.

Yay! Homan won't go home winless!

Great night for Canada on the track! Lots of exciting races!

Things have been going south for Canada the last couple of days. Loses in men's curling and hockey today, too. Hopefully the short trackers and skeletors can pick it up tonight. Who knows, with some luck Homan might actually be able to win a match, too! Things look sparse for medals tomorrow again. Hope for some good results in slopestyle and speed skating team pursuit.

After a good Thursday, a disappointing Friday. 50/50 shots in x-country and speed skating didn't work out and our lady skeletors all had terrible first runs. Vathje was great in the 2nd run, but probably too far back with too many ladies ahead of her to compete for a medal. She got the fastest time in the 2nd run, but even if that exact result happened again twice in the final two runs, she wouldn't catch up to the podium. But I guess anything is possible. Tomorrow is ladies ski slopestyle and short track. And of course a hockey game vs the Czechs. I'll be traveling and missing most of it, unfortunately. I hope to settle in in time for short track though. It's funny, in the last 2 WOG it seemed like we had to wait around a while for Canada to pick up medals. This time I feel like Canada peaked early. Looks like 1-2 chances at medals for the next few days.

Homan has to run the table just to make it to the semi-finals. That's going to be tough since there are some really good teams left. Judging by the way they're playing right now, it looks like for the first time ever our women will not medal at the Olympics.

Someone get Jennifer Jones a wig STAT!

It's embarrassing. There are 9 other teams that could have been there winning these games. Just put Cheryl Benard in.

Team Homan

Now to see if Homan can hold on.

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.
