February 20 General Thread
Canada had a great day yesterday, winning gold in Women's Bobsleigh, winning both Curling semi-finals, and moving on to the semi-finals in Hockey with a narrow victory over Latvia.
Rankings after Day 13: Rank / Medals / Rank Change
By Gold Medals: 7th / 5 / +1
By Total Medals: 5th / 8 / 0
Events of Note:
[12:45 AM] Freestyle Skiing - Men's Ski Cross Seeding Runs: The men will try to set down good runs to get in better races in the 1/8 finals. Canada has three Canadians with Brady Leman, Chris Delbosco, and David Duncan. Leman and Delbosco are both talented, but have major inconsistency issues.
[2:30 AM] Freestyle Skiing - Men's Ski Cross 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, Finals: After seeding, the craziness will begin.
[6:30 AM] Curling - Women's Gold Medal Game: Jennifer Jones, now 10-0 in the tournament, will face Sweden. Jennifer Jones has won basically everything else there is to win, and hopefully will come away with an Olympic gold to add to her resume.
[7:30 AM, 10:30 AM] Freestyle Skiing - Ladies' Ski Half-Pipe: Rosalind Groenewoud leads the Canadian contingent in this event. She has been on the podium the last four X-Games, and won the World Championships in 2011. Keltie Hansen will also compete.
[8 AM] Figure Skating - Ladies' Free Skate: Kaetlyn Osmond leads the Canadians sitting in 13th place after the short program.
[10 AM] Hockey - Women's Gold Medal Game: Canada will face off, as usual, versus a tough American squad in the gold medal match.

Do I need a special player to view the CBC videos? I've never had one before but now if I click the play button nothing happens.

Nope. Should just be your standard flash player.

Try a different browser - I've had Chrome fail on me before while IE worked (I know, that's shocking). Also if you have AdBlock enabled it may cause issues.

Only Brady Leman makes it through to the 1/4 finals.
Edit: Holy crap. Those qualifiers jumped so high on the last jump that the top two (going in) in the 1st heat both crashed right at the finish line.
Edit #2: Leman on to the semi-finals.

The craziness began right away, it's nuts and a blast to watch. The hang time on the last jump is insane.

Andi Petrillo was saying that with 3 of the competitors from one country, you knew they were going to work with a pack mentality and go for the sweep on the podium. They sure did that.

Great comeback from the Swiss to win the Bronze in Womens Hockey over Sweden!
They scored 4 goals in the third to win 4-3 after being down 2-0 at the start of the 3rd.

Lawes is having a rough go at 48%. Canada's lucky to be tied after five ends, but that's okay. 3-3 and on we continue on!
