Women's Wednesday at the Olympics

First it was wonderful Wednesday and tonight in Vancouver it’s woman’s Wednesday. The ladies owned the podium today, tying the Canadian record for most medals won in one day with four.

Clara Hughes, the incredible Canadian athlete who has meddled in both Winter and Summer Olympic games competed in her final race on Wednesday. Bronze would be the lucky colour she would later add to her collection of accomplishments. The ladies 3000m short track relay team finished in third before Korea was disqualified for an illegal move, advancing Canada into the silver spot. Finally, the ladies on the bobsled took home Gold and Silver. Without a doubt, it was an incredibly exciting day for our ladies of the Olympics.

While our ladies hockey team will go for gold on Thursday, the men faced Russia in another must win game to advance to the semi-finals and they did it! Canada took home the win with a final score of 7-3. Next up, Canada vs. Slovakia on Friday in the final match up before the gold medal game.

What do we have to look forward to tomorrow? Ladies gold medal game against the USA and Joannie Rochette will perform another emotional skate in the final round of womans figure skating. Go Canada Go, we are so proud!
