krow Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Yes Women's 1500m SSTS Marianne St. Gelais and to a much greater degree Valerie Maltais Men's 1000m SSTS Charles Hamelin, Oliver Jean and Charle Cournoyer all have the potential to get into the final and medal Men's 1500m Speed Skating Danny Morrison has a slight chance in this event. If he can skate as well as he did in the 1500m he'll be close to the podium Women's Snowboard Cross Maelle Ricker and Dominque Maltais could both medal i think you and intoronto should consider opening a boutique bookie consultancy firm. someone out there is making a ton of money doing odds for these obscure sports -- something the two of you are doing for free on an internet message board. you need to monetize, mesmerize, memorialize. uh, wait, maybe just the first two. so quit that whole biology thing (are you still doing biology?) and follow my dreams for you.

In addition to that, she has coeliac disease, which has altered her diet and severely affected her training and her results." That's devastating news. No wonder why she struggled so much this season.

Faster Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 No its the 1000. However anything is possible. Valerie Maltais is also a better chance at a medal in the 1500 then St.Gelais Hence why I said, 'to a much greater degree Valerie Maltais. i think you and intoronto should consider opening a boutique bookie consultancy firm. someone out there is making a ton of money doing odds for these obscure sports -- something the two of you are doing for free on an internet message board. you need to monetize, mesmerize, memorialize. uh, wait, maybe just the first two. so quit that whole biology thing (are you still doing biology?) and follow my dreams for you.

Faster Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 For f-cks sacks, if this sh!t keeps up Canada won't break 20 medals.\ Just say the 1500m semi-finals, Canada doesn't have a hope in the 1500m. This is turning out to be an incredibly disappointing Olympics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox334 Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Had you told me two medals in speed skating before the games I would have taken it. Morrison has done very well. Also, losing gold in the 1500m by 0.003 seconds... ouch. Just ouch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLishere Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Half of the medal count (so far) has come from the Canadian freestyle skiers. 3 double podiums, 3 gold. I think Canada will get even stronger for PyeongChang in these young/new sports: half-pipe, moguls, slopestyle, snowboard. So much potential. Spencer O'Brien, Kaya Turski, Max Parrot, Sebastien Toutant, Marc-Antoine Gagnon - still young, already X Games champions. McMorris getting bronze despite a broken rib is nothing short of amazing (he said it still hurt when he sneezed, so you can imagine the pain he felt after landing each jump). I'll be following these people in the future; so much fun to watch. On another note, what is happening with the short track speed skating team? Disappointment all around.

intoronto Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Turski is done after these games. If the short track team gets another gold it will match Vancouver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
