The young Canadian Chloé Dufour-Lapointe, 18 years old only, is 5th, which is a great performance for her first Winter Olympic Games.

In Speed Skating 5000m (Holland), in Short Track 3000m (China) and in Women Ice Hockey: HUUUUGE win for Canada 18 to NOTHING against Slovakia in the Group A 2nd game.
More news later with maybe the first Olympic Medal for Canada, in Freestyle Skiing.
In Virtually Canadian office, we are 9 persons from 6 different countries. In fact, there are 3 French people, 1 German, 1 Russian, 1 Dutch, 1 Korean and 2 Canadians.
Except for Canada, our countries all won a medal today !
In Speed Skating 5000m, Sven Kramer (Holland) was the fastest in the Winter Olympics history, beating the former OR. Gold medal for him. The first non-european medalist of these Olympics is from Korea. Seung Hoon Lee won the silver, 2.45 seconds after the young Dutch man. Ivan Skobrev (Russia) complete the podium of the second Medal Event of Vancouver Olympic Games 2010.
In Biathlon Women’s 7.5Km Sprint, Marie Dorin (France) won the bronze finishing just 9 seconds after Magdalena Neuner (Germany). Anastazia Kuzmina (Slovakia) is the new Olympic Champion.
I really hope Canada will win some medal soon !!
The Ski Jumper Simon Ammann, from Switzerland ! A gold medal won thanks to a huge 108 meters jump. No Finns and no Germans on the podium in spite of the results of the 1st round.
Poland won the silver medal and Austria the bronze one. Great start for European countries 
In fact, the Ski Jumping 1st round started earlier today. Unfortunately, the 4 Canadians didn’t make it for the next round.
France still have a chance to win a medal with 3 athletes qualified out of 4, but it will be hard to compete with the Germans, Finns, Czechoslovaks, Austrians or Japaneses..
For now, Germany has the lead with 2 men on the podium, but we’ll know tomorrow who is the first Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games’ Champion.
