After one full week of competition, Canada already won 7 medals in the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games. 3 gold medals, including Alexandre Bilodeau in Frestyle Skiing Moguls I told you about in my last post, 3 silver ones, counting Mike Robertson’s in Snowboard Cross, and a bronze.

Women are doing great by the way! Out of 7 medals, 5 were won by women… Maelle Ricker and Christine Nesbitt, respectively gold medallists in Snowboard Cross and Speed Skating 1000m.

Marianne St Gelais and Kristina Groves gained silver and bronze in Speed Skating 500m and 3000m. Jennifer Neil, finally, won the first medal for Canada finishing 2nd in the Freestyle Skiing Moguls event last Friday.

We can still believe in much more medals next week, in particular after the last Ice Hockey and Curling Games…

First gold on canadian soil!

Canada is upside down!

This is amazing! It finally happened! Yesterday in Freestyle Skiing moguls, Alexandre Bilodeau won the gold after a great 26.75 points run.

Starting now, he will be well-known as “Alexandre the Great”, as the entire country was behind him.

Now, everybody is waiting for the first Canadian’s Ice Hockey game, tomorrow against Norway. Because we “believe”.
