Meh..

We just took gold from the USA in Team pursuit speed skating, and one in snowboard racing.

Its a good thing the games are here, shipping all that heavy gold back to canada would be expensive :p

Works for the summer at least, I think if we could get them use the cold they could own speed skating.

I really dont doubt it. There muscular and skeletal structure does give them an edge in sports that require speed. In general our bodies are more geared towards strength and stamina. Genetics are a wonderful thing.

The best part is were starting to understand why, and learning to better identify genetic strengths and weakness, which should really improve athletic abilities for both races.

Oh, I don't know.... China and Korea seem to shake the magic 8 ball when kids are born there to decide their life path. So far, it seems to work for them.

There is also no doubt that China spends more than any of us at training their athletes, and is no doubt geneticly engineering their future athletes.

China will have an amazing crop of geneticly superior athletes in 20 years due to advances in genetic sciences.

Another Canadian, Charles Hamelin, crossed the line first, with Ohno in second after South Korea’s Sung Si-bak, the eventual silver medalist, also crashed as a result of Tremblay’s fall.

I have already said I agreed with Ohno's DQ, but now they are blaming the Korean's fall on Ohno too? LOL.....

As I said, the skate pull started the chain reaction that made a mess of the race.

What would olympics be without controversy. Last time it was figure skating.

What skate pull? Tremblay is going down in my first photo as Hamelin is finishing his chop before Hamelin's feet get near Sung's hand.

The Hamelin/Sung incident is different than the Tremblay/Ohno one. They had no impact on the other.
