Klassen Wins Gold! (And 2 silvers and a bronze)
Cindy Klassen just won her FOURTH olympic medal, a Gold.
This one girl has accounted for 4 of our 18 Medals. Thats 22%.
#1 She should be proud and her country proud of her. Good luck to her when she skates in the 5000m
#2 The rest of Canada's Olympic movement should take notes. Not at what they may have done wrong, but what this girl has done right. The rest of the womens speed skating team has done very well also.
#3 I thought it was very very classy of the German Competitor and long time rival Anni Freisinger to come right over and congradulate Klassen on her gold, especially since 15 seconds earlier the Skater for the Netherlands had bumped Freisinger off the podium. Then the German Coach came over to give her a congradulatory hug. Very good example of sportsmanship and olympic spirit.
#4 Hats off to Kristina Groves for the Silver Medal, when not many, internationally, had picked her to be in contention.
