Positives:
- Kim Boutin wins Silver (her 3rd medal of the Olympics)
Negatives:
- Women lose in the Gold Medal match (Silver)
- Men let go of Gold in the final 2 laps of the Short Track 5000M Team Relay (Bronze)
- Sam Girard finishes 4th in the Men's Short Track 500M
- Laurie Blouin has a disappointing Women's Big Air Final (hope her injury isn't serious)
- Noah Bowman and Mike Riddle finish 5th and 6th respectively in the Men's Freestyle Skiing Halfpipe (although our biggest Medal hopeful Simon d'Artois just missed out on Qualifying for the Finals)
Edit: We apparently can't even beat the US in Curling now. HORRIBLE day for Canada
Edit #2: Now Marielle Thompson AND India Sherret both fall in the 1/8 Finals

A horrible day is a silver and bronze and a bunch of other close calls?
I get that we get our expectations up and that's good in one sense, but we aren't going to win everything. We're doing great so far. And we'll get more medals. Maybe even a couple we aren't expecting will medal for us.
edit: actually 2 silvers and a bronze.
