Wednesday was a day filled with some highs and some lows for our Canadian athletes in Beijing. When all was said and done we added one GOLD medal to our tally and so Canada now has 18 medals. We remain in 5th place overall.
Here is a RECAP of Wednesday at the Olympics for Canada!
***Men’s short track speed skating legend Canadian Charles Hamelin struck GOLD in his fifth and last Olympic games. Hamelin, along with teammates Steven Dubois, Jordan Pierre-Gilles, and Pascal Dion crossed the finish line in six minutes 41.257 seconds in the Men’s Relay Team Short Track Speed Skating Event. With this medal, Hamelin tied fellow Canadian speed skater Cindy Klassesn as the most decorated Canadian Olympic speed skater of all time! The 37 year old plans to retire on this high note.
Tonight at 11pm (which will be THURSDAY AFTERNOON in Beijing) our Women’s Hockey Team Plays for Gold. Let’s hope they can bring it home!
GO CANADA GO!!!
