Well, Valarie Maltais just set the olympic record in her heat in the 1000m....good start

Charles Hamelin....what an embarrassment

Silver in the womens 3000m relay for Canada after China gets dq'ed. That may take some of the sting out of what has been a disastrous olympics so far for the short track team.

Charles Hamelin....what an embarrassment

Seriously just stfu. One of Canada's most decorated Olympians. Two falls in one of sports most accident prone events does not wipe that out.

Not to say it hasn't been a devastating games for the shirt track team. At least the ladies took home silver on a pretty damn obvious impediment by the Chinese. So cheap, glad they got caught.

There are two recipes for success in the Olympics:

1. Work really hard across all the disciplines and earn a diverse selection of medals.
2. Find one discipline with a lot of medals and focus entirely on that.

I think I know which one they chose...

Fourth podium sweep for the Dutch in this Olympics.

The Dutch are always strong in speed skating, but this has been a clinic. There have been 27 total speed skating medals handed out and the Dutch have 19! Unreal.

19 of the 20 Dutch medals have been at long track speed skating - Wowza.
