Saturday summary

n short track, we had hope for medals but effort was in vain. The Hamelin brothers made it to the final five, but finished 4 and 5. They started their run strongly, but lack of juice at the end. This strategy didn’t pay off and the Koreans benefited of it. On the woman side, Kalina Roberge wasn’t at her best; she ended up finished second in the little final, her final ranking being #10. But I want to congratulate Tania Vincent who made it to the final. At 34 years old, it’s her last Olympics. What she did was incredible, considering that she had a difficult surgery to a hip and come back anyway: An example of determination and courage. Important mention to our Canadian on the 30km pursuit: 3 of our athletes finished in the top 9. This is quite something. Ivan Babikov finished #5, Georges Gray #8 and Alex Harvey #9.
