I think it was fun that we got to play king of the courts instead of math this morning for one of our Olympic challenges. Although Athens came in last for this round we will catch up just like Sparta has! GO ATHENS GO! I wonder what our next event will be...

Canada got another gold medal yesterday in women's hockey. They won 2-0. Go Canada! We'll have to see if the men can do just as well.

Ski Cross- Chris Del Bosco

Canadian Chris Del Bosco who made it to the finals in ski cross did not get a gold medal on Sunday, Feb 21. The race started, and about 10 seconds into the race he fell behind to last place, shortly behind Norway's Audun Groenvold. Chris and Audun battled it out but eventually Chris got into 3rd place ahead of Audun. It was the second last jump when Chris had an akward twist in the air and fell hard, and Audun zipped by him taking the bronze medal. The gold medal went to Michael Schmid of Switzerland and silver went to Andreas Matt of Austria. Ski Cross is a sport that anything can happen.

Way to go Jon Montgomery on winning a gold medal in skeleton!!! Every body is so proud!

Go For Gold!

Jon Mongomery of Russell, Manitoba got gold in skeleton. Lots of people are proud! His time was 3:29:73. Unfortunately I didn't get to see his run either, but I wish I had. Oh well, anyways go Jon!

Olympic Question

Why do both long track and short track speed skaters always race counterclockwise? 

Shouldn't they have to go around the track both ways to show their skill?

Given the current state of affairs, do you think that they train their right leg and left leg muscles differently?  If not, should they?

Something to consider

WOOOOOOOOOO John Montgomery has just won gold for Canada with a combined time of 3:29:73. Way to be Montgomery.

This is right after he knew he won.

Olympics

There was many exciting and nervous moments but Canada has beat Switzerland in a 3-2 shootout. It was 5 minutes into overtime when they called a shootout and then Crosby finally scored the winning goal.

"[I was] lucky to get a second crack at it, I'm glad to make the most of it" Crosby said after the game.

The Free-skating is on tonight too!

Olympic Luge Athlete

A Georgia Luge athlete died on Friday after a doing a training race as his luge went from under him and he hit one of the steel columns.

Kyle Parrott of Minnedosa, Manitoba raced his first race on Monday, Febuary 15.

Alexandre Biloeau was Canada's first is gold metalist for Canada. He won his gold metal on Sunday, February 14.

Winners!

Alexandre Bilodeau got Canada's first gold last Sunday (Feb 14) in men's freestyle moguls. He was the first ever to win a gold medal when Canada was holding the Olympics. He had a great run! His first jump was a double twisting back flip, and his second was a back flip with an iron cross. He landed them both and his knees were tight together going around the moguls. Kristina Groves won a bronze on Sunday (Feb 14) in Speed Skating! She was competing in women's 3000 meters. Her time in this race was 4:04.82 seconds. I have watched a lot of the Olympics so far like moguls, figure skating (pairs), speed skating, and luge. I love to watch all of it!

Olympic Opening Ceremonies

The Olympic opening ceremonies were held on Friday, February 12th. They were amazing. They had lots of entertainment, some needed moments of silence and of course lots to do with the Olympics. My favourite part was the performance by Nelly Furtado and Byran Adams singing a Athlete Tribute song, called Bang the Drum. There were a few difficulties but they were passed smoothly. The big secret that was held (who would be the final tourch carrier) was then released. The final tourch carrier was Wayne Gretzky. Betty Fox who was rumored may be the final tourch carrier actually carried the official Olympic flag along with five others.

This picture is before the teams parade. Canada had the 2nd biggest team next to USA. USA had 208 and Canada had 206.

Crazy olympic thingy aka x games

WOW! That was acctually a hard race, because peolpe kept falling down or tripping over chairs. For the race we started with a mad minute sheet. Then we locked arms in the hallway and ran in the library. We had to run around the tables with our arms still locked. After that we went back to the room and every team had to do 100 push up's. It was narly.
