Torino - Another Medal!

Cindy Klassen won Bronze today in the Women's 3000 speed skating event at the Lingotto Oval (which is right beside the IBC). She is the world record holder in this event and had been favoured to win the race.

Also today the Women's Hockey team clobbered the Russian team 12-0. Rookie Meghan Agosta celebrated her 19th birthday with a hat-trick! The team is receiving some criticism for running up their scores. I don't think this is fair, as they have to stay focused and disciplined in order to be ready to play the US later on.

Canada had won every Women's world championship up until last year when they lost to the US. They also lost to the US in the debut of Women's Hockey at the Nagano Olympics in 1998, revenging that loss with a victory in Salt Lake City.
