2010 Vancouver Olympics 2/23/10

So, yesterday, was the beginning of the womon's side of individual Figure Skating, where the main person who caught everyone's eye, was Canadian Joannie Rochette, who's mother just recently died, of an unexpected Heart Attack.
Rochette finished last night in 3rd place, behind Japanese Mao Asada in 2nd, and Korean Kim Yu-Na in first.
Rochette ended her performance, crying and mouthing "Mom I wish you were here".
I think everyone, will be rooting for Joannie.

And, in the women's Biathlon, Russia took gold with Olga Pyleva, and Olga Zaitseva and company taking gold France was able to take silver, and Germany was able to take bronze, increasing their medal count even more, to catch up to the USA.

In men's alpine skiing, unfortunately, Bode Miller of the United States, was unable to take a medal, due to the fact he came off track.
So, the gold ended up going to Switzerland's Carlo Janka, and Norway took silver and bronze. Bronze going to the accomplished Aksel Lund Svindal (you know, the one with the crying, emotional father), and silver, going to Kjetil Jansrud.

And last but not least, Canada, was able to come back from a devestating loss to the USA in men's Ice Hockey, defeating Germany 8-2, to get to the quarterfinal's, along with the USA.

Those are yesterday's main highlight's, I'll give you, once again, today's tommorow.
