...number 3 in the medals table; you keep moving up and up!
Now I'm just hoping that Great Britain can hold off Latvia to maintain our third to bottom position

The women have done really, really well. I'm so proud of them. ...And of the few men who have contributed to the medal count.

Another silver in the Men's 5000 team relay in speed skating, a bronze in the Men's 500, and gold to our Men's Curling team from Newfoundland! We now stand at 24 medals!

My aunt was a part of all that.... the early years of speedskating in The 'Peg.
CBC I take it? I'd like to try to catch that again later if possible.

Congrat to the athletes, and in particular the women.
Only in Canada could this become a gender issue in the media.

Holy crap, didn't think Canada would come too close to its personal goal of 25 medals. Especially after such a rough start....
