How many Gold's do you think Canada will win in total?

I'll go fairly conservative and guess 10. Could be higher (14-15 is certainly within reach).

9:2 for Turski looks pretty good to me. The only reason she wouldn't have been considered the favorite is because of her injury, but I think she showed she has overcome that at the X-Games.

10 is a little conservative considering there are 12 more golds available this time around, in some of which Canada is a big contender. I'll go for a small decrease in golds, but increase in overall medals:
12G, 10S, 10B.

Dara Howell? No. Kaya is far more likely to win Women's slope. In fact with Tiril out she should be the prohibitive favourite (I guess Maggie Voisin is in the conversation).

Not that it really matters, because it's women's, but it's a medal.

What a strange post. For someone so dismissive of women's sports, you sure seem to know a lot about women's sports...:confused:
