Great race in the 10k for Ted-Jan Bloemen! He's in first place with one pair to go and he set an Olympic record!

Ted-Jan Bloemen, ladies and gentleman. What. A. 10000M. Race.

Breaks the Olympic record by 2.21 that was beaten in the heat just before him. Is now sitting in Gold position with 2 races to go, which includes the GOAT Sven Kramer, who has yet to win the Gold in the 10000M...

Canada up 2-0 on Switzerland after 1. Rene Bourque with the first goal.

No Hiller in net for the Swiss unfortunately. Instead they have gone with Leonardo Genoni who has one of the great names in the Olympics.

Wow Wolski. 4-0 and Hiller enters the game! Should be 10 goals before long now.

So deserved for that relay team after missing out in 2014 because of the cheating doping Russians!

These hockey games have all been so much fun, so far. I like seeing these past NHL names get one last shot at a major hockey achievement. Bourque is flying, Wolski and Roy looking good too.

I agree. It's fun to cheer for these guys who never would have had this chance otherwise.

Watching Crosby and company is always a blast too, but this is far better than I expected.
