If I recall, I think Holland did well in the 10,000 meters securing first and third places with USA getting silver. Well done!!

We have had a very good Olympics......other than the hockey result. One of our skaters has won 5 medals at this one Games, so quite a result for her. |

Quite an impressive games for us, so Vancouver in 2010 should be very interesting to see if the momentum can continue. Keep in mind, Canadians finished fourth in 13 events... had they translated into podiums, (or is that podi-i? LOL) we would have been about 10 medals ahead of the next closest country. And some of our 4th places with 4th by mere hundreds of a second.
But close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. Klassen's 5 medal Olympics was astonishing and with her medal from Salt Lake, it makes her Canada's most successful Olympian, and she still should be a force in 2010. But what was amazing was Clara Hughes' gold. She made back about four seconds in the final two laps! I used to train with Clara 11 years ago... and she's like a diesel engine. A long time to warm up, but once she's going, she's like a runnaway train (in cycling guys... get your minds outta the gutters)! I had tears watching the medal ceremony!
