OK, so Canada suffered a medal drought on Day 9 of the Vancouver Olympics on Saturday.

However, Canadians fared a little bit better in Sunday's action.

Chris Del Bosco, Davey Barr and Stan Hayer came up short in their quest for gold in the men's skicross event, but Kristina Groves climbed the podium with a silver medal in the women's 1,500-metre speedskating competition.

No medals were up for grabs in men's hockey but the Canadian team suffered a tough 5-3 loss to the U.S., losing out on a bye to the quarter-finals in the process.

Chris Del Bosco - A sister's story

Chris Del Bosco - A sister's story

Since birth Chris Del Bosco was talented. He knew instantly how to glide over the ice on skates and eagerly clicked on his first skis.

There was nothing he could not do, until he became a teenager. The skills were still there, but they were swamped by the urge to drink, take drugs and self-destruct.

A talented athlete was lost. A few years later came redemption and a brief sniff of success, but it was too brief. The urge to drink took over. Finally after a stint in jail came clarity and now a trip to the Olympics.

His story is told by his sister, Heather Centurioni, who lived through the pain and now hopes to share just a touch of the glory that Chris is bringing to his family and his adopted country.
