Canada's St-Gelais wins short-track silver
Canada's Marianne St-Gelais celebrated her 20th birthday with a silver medal in the 500-metre short-track speedskating final on Wednesday at the Vancouver Olympics. St-Gelais crossed the line in 43.707 seconds for Canada's sixth medal of the 2010 Games.
Vonn dominates crash-filled downhill
Lindsey Vonn blew away the competition in the Olympic women's downhill on Wednesday, leading a 1-2 American finish in a race marred by a series of spills. The heavy favourite despite a bruised right shin that hampered her in training, Vonn put down a time of one minute 44.19 seconds on sunny Whistler Mountain in B.C. to defeat teammate Julia Mancuso by more than half a second.
Davis clips Mo for 1,000 speedskating win
Shani Davis of the United States finished the men's 1,000-metre speedskating final in style, taking the gold medal in the last pairing of the competition to defend his Olympic title at the Richmond Oval. Davis trailed South Korean Mo Tae-Bum's time in the first two splits, but poured it on for a time of one minute 8.94 seconds.
White takes halfpipe gold, again
There was only one man who could top U.S. snowboarder Shaun White on his last run in the men's halfpipe final at the Vancouver Olympics. And that was Shaun White. The 23-year-old snowboarding phenom secured his second straight Olympic gold medal with his score of 46.8 out of 50 in his first of two runs in the final at Cypress Mountain on Wednesday.
Canada's hockey women continue juggernaut pace
It was supposed to be the first test the Canadian women's hockey team faced in their quest for Olympic gold. The Canadians passed with flying colours, and then some. Meghan Agosta's hat trick and two assists paced Canada to a 13-1 thrashing of Sweden on Wednesday at UBC Thunderbird Arena in Vancouver, putting an exclamation point on the final round-robin game for both teams.
