There is not better gift...

On her twentieth birthday, Marianne St-Gelais offered not only to herself, but to all Canada, a silver medal on 500m in short track. Saguenay Lac-St-Jean is euphoric! She couldn't have ask for a better birthday present. Jessica Gregg finished #4 and Kalina Roberge, that we expected to win, still did good and finished #6. On alpine skiing, downhill, Britt Janyk made a terrific descent and finally finished #6. She was very excited and she had all the reasons to be proud of her as we expected another woman there. It was a first participation for her. Justine Lamoureux made it the final of the Halfpipe in Snowboard. He finally finished #7, but considering the very high level of competition there, including the American delegation lead by Shaun White, now, 2 times Olympic gold medalist, this 33 year old men can be proud.

Snowboard Cross – Maelle Ricker

She was home, she grew up there, but 31 years ago, when she was born, she had no idea that she would hold the gold medal in her hand. Congratulations to Maelle for this achievement in a sport that it’s quite spectacular! Who said athlete are too old when they turned 30?
