You know at the end of that sports engine ad the Olympics and Paralympics have been running (maybe just Paralympics but that’s beside the point) that kid doing the french fry and pizza slice skiing positions said them backwards. Like I’m a pretty shit skier if I’m being honest but pizza is triangle shaped and french fries are straight. Not the other way around
Olympic Champions Meghan Duggan and Monique Lamoureux celebrate after defeating Canada in the gold medal game of the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics. (x)
Cassie Sharpe soared to gold in the Women’s Halfpipe final, before France’s Marie Martinod (silver) and The US’ Brita Sigourney (bronze)
Tessa and Scott, everyone’s favorite Ice Dancing pair, also won gold, before French pair Gabriella Papadakis and Guillaume Cizeron (silver) and the Shibutani siblings Maia and Alex for the US (bronze), with their Moulin Rouge dance, flawlessly performed
Brady Leman took gold too, in the Men’s Ski Cross, before Switzerland’s
Marc Bischofberger (silver) and Russia’s Sergey Ridzik (bronze)
Kailie Humphries and Phylicia George slid to a beautiful bronze medal in the Two-Woman Bobsleigh final, behind Germany’s Mariama Jamanka and Liza Buckwitz (gold), and The US’ Elana Meyers Taylor and Lauren Gibbs
The Women’s Hockey Team lost to The US Team, ending a 16-year streak of wins against the Americans, so they were understandably sad, although it was a exciting, suspenseful, heart-stopping game to watch. But
Meghan Agosta, Jocelyne Larocque, Bailey Bram, Meaghan Mikkelson, Emily Clark, Sarah Nurse, Mélodie Daoust, Marie-Philip Poulin, Ann-Renée Desbiens, Lauriane Rougeau, Renata Fast, Jillian Saulnier, Laura Fortino, Natalie Spooner, Haley Irwin, Laura Stacey, Brianne Jenner, Shannon Szabados, Rebecca Johnston, Blayre Turnbull, Geneviève Lacasse, Jenn Wakefield and Brigette Lacquette still brought some solid silver home, so they still did us proud! Finland’s Team was extatic at their broze medal!
Kim Boutin once again sped to glory as she took silver in the Short Track Women’s 1000 metres, between The Netherlands’ Suzanne Shuclting (gold) and Italy’s Arianna Fontana (bronze) collecting her third medal of the Games. After everything she went through when she won the first one, I am so happy she had the talent and the strength to go for these two others. A true champion, and it’s only right that she will be Canada’s flagbearer at the Closing Ceremony tomorrow!
Samuel Girard, Charles Hamelin, Charle Cournoyer and Pascal Dion also sped for a medal (bronze) in the Men’s 5000 metre Relay behind Hungary (gold) and China (silver)
It was a Canadian double-double in the Women’s Ski Cross as Kelsey Serwa and Brittany Phelan took gold and silver respectively and Fanny Smith of Switzerland took bronze
Kaetlyn Osmond, full of grace and spark, brought Canada maybe its most beautiful medal, the 27th, surpassing the record of 26 medals won in a single Olympic fortnight in Vancouver eight years ago. She skated to Tchaicovsky’s Swan Lake in the Ladies’ Singles and came third behind Russia’s Alina Zagitova (gold) and Evgenia Medvedeva (silver)
So when Sébastien Toutant soared to gold in the Men’s Big Air, before The US’s and Great Britain’s Billy Morgan (bronze), it was beautiful and just more joy
In contrast with the Women’s silver medal (which is the result of a loss), it was also joy for the Men’s Hockey Team when they beat Czeh Rebublic 6-4 in the Bronze Medal Game! Their loss against Germany in the semifinal, also ended a 16-year winning streak, albeit against different teams. And honestly, they couldn’t come home empty-handed eh? Congrats
Rene Bourque, Maxim Noreau, Gilbert Brulé, Eric O’Dell, Andrew Ebbett, Justin Peters, Stefan Elliott, Kevin Poulin, Chay Genoway, Mason Raymond, Cody Goloubef, Mat Robinson, Marc-André Gragnani, Derek Roy, Quinton Howden, Ben Scrivens, Chris Kelly, Karl Stollery, Rob Klinkhammer, Christian Thomas, Brandon Kozun, Linden Vey and Maxim Lapierre! (The Gold Medal Game between Germany and Russia will be played tomorrow)
