2010 Final Vancouver Olympic day

Once again, I'm truly sorry that I have been unable to give you highlight's over the last few days, but once again I've been busy.

Today, as you probably know, today is the day, that the much anticipated match up of the home team, Canada, faced off against the strong American team, in men's hockey final.
Last time, America was able to upset Canada and celebrate, to get into the quarters, but this time, Canada, was just unstoppable.
The game went through with Canada keeping the lead for almost all of the game, until America was able to score a quick goal within the last 30 seconds of the game.
But in overtime, it was Sydney Crosby of Canada who took the final shot right in-between the legs of America's goalie, to end the game 3-2 in favor of Canada.
And this time, it was Canada's national anthem being sung, all the Canadian players, wearing gold medals around their necks.
America, of course took silver.
This was the last of the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic Games.
And right now, in case you haven't heard, the 2010 Vancouver Olympics Closing Ceromony, is still taking place right now on NBC.
Tune in now if you can.
In 2010, the Winter Olympics will belong to Sochi Russia, where hopefully, Russia will do better.
Now that the Olympics are done, everything will go back to normal, as I will be giving my regular highlights, on basketball, tennis, golf, hockey, baseball, and football (obviously not the football season now).
Till tomorrow, I'm Sportsmaster JR, and remember, always stay inbounds!

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.

Thanks, signing off for now, I'm Sportsmaster JR, and remember always stay inbounds!

2010 Vancouver Olympics 2/21/10

Alright, I'm back.
Unfortunately, I've been unable to comment on the Olympics the last few days.

But, incase you haven't heard already, the highlights of yesterday, included action from Bode Miller, and the US men's hockey team.

So, the highlights, were for the most part yesterday, where American Bode Miller, who's just come back from an injury from last Olympics in Toreno, happily took gold in the men's Super G skiing, Miller now having one of each medal in Vancouver.
Siver went to Ivica Kostelic of Croatia, and Bronze went to Switzerland's Silvan Zurbriggen.

And, the other big highlight of yesterday, was the much anticipated, men's hockey match, between USA and Canada.
For the most part, Canada, was favored to win, but the American's truly upped their game to match, and even better the talent of the Canadian team, eventually pulling out a win, 5-3 in favor of the American's.
Also in hockey, Russia defeated the Czech Republic, 4-2, and Belarus defeated Germany, 5-3.

Those, were the highlight's for yesterday.

2010 Vancouver Olympics 2/18/10

Unfortunately, I was unable to comment on the Olympics yesterday, so I'll give you some of the main highlights of yesterday's events.

In the men's single free skate, it was supposed to be one of the most epic face offs in men's skating history, due to the rising, American Evan Lysacek, and the famous Russian coming out of retirement, Evgeni Plushenko, claiming his goal to become like Dick Button, with two Olympic gold medals.
And yesterday, the suspense was ended.
Evan Lysacek came away with the gold by about two points, allowing Evgeni Plushenko, to take the silver, along with japan's Daisuke Takahashi taking bronze.
Plushenko, commented, saying that a person that takes gold, should't, with out a quad jump.

And, in women's super g, America's Lindsey Vonn, took an unfortunate crash, to keep her far away from the podium.
This gave the gold to German Maria Riesch, Silver to fellow American Julia Mancuso, and bronze barely to Swedish Anja Paerson.

Vancouver Half-Piipe run 2

Run 2, was filled with falls, and bobbles, giving low scores for the most part, except for some, such asAmerica's Sean White, and Finland's Peetu Piiroinen.
Piiroinen, scored about four points higher than in run two, giving him the silver medal.
USA's Scott Lago, was among the many that fell on the second run, but still managed bronze.
And of course, the Gold medal, went to Shaun White, who celebrated like crazy, after he realized, gold was his.
Included in this celebration, Shaun just played it wild, and tricky in his second run, because he had already won. And in this second run, Shaun, brought up the famous double McTwist, and nailing it perfectly.
Everyone, was chanting "USA, USA" in celebration.
