Canada has a total of 4 medals now. Yesterday we won a silver medal in the women's team sprint (cross country skiing). Teammates Beckie Scott(31) & Sara Renner (29) are both from Alberta. Renner actually broke a pole during the race and a Norwegian coach took pity on her and passed her a pole.
"I said to Sara when we were finishing our warm-up today, 'We've come a long way baby,'" Scott, the 2002 Olympic pursuit champion, said after the race. "We've been around a long time. This might be one of the last sprint relays we ever do together. In a way to finish it with an Olympic medal it's, well I'm not going to say it's surreal. We promised each other we wouldn't get to get too fruity at the end of this."
On Monday, Cindy Klassen(26) took Bronze in the Women's 3,000 meter speed skating. Cindy is from Winnipeg.
Today, after a video review, Anouk Leblanc-Boucher(21) took bronze in the 500 meter short track. She's from Prevost, Quebec.

And all women! No surprise from my feminist friend Kim. :) And thanks for the updates--I haven't watched a moment of the games so far, so you're my update.
I noticed that last night. It really wasn't my intention. It just happens that all the medals we've won so far have been by women.
GO CANADA!
