Mild disappointment from Alex Boisvert-Lacroix. Was a medal hopeful in the Men's Long Track 500M but finishes 10th.

Woof.

5 KM long race....tied to the 1/1000th of a second. Unbelievable.

In the brief time the CBC cut away to the bobsleigh celebration, Canada scored 2 goals. 4-0 now.

Wow, I remember watching the exact same thing 20 years ago! Gold for Canada & Germany with a dead heat. Great to see the camaraderie among the bobsledders.

So nice, got to work (yes sadly, have to work today...) and got to see the Bobsleigh gold livestreamed, now the 5-0 lead. Time for another CAN-USA classic final.

I am good with the tie. They get the gold and hear the anthem, most people don't even remember that Penny Oleksiak tied for the gold. Most importantly the participants were ecstatic.
