Games of the XX Olympiad: Brooms of Bronze


Day Thirteen at Torino brought success at the rink for Canada's Women Curling team.

The Shannon Kleibrink foursome put their game back together on Thursday after Wednesday's disappointing set back on the road to gold and claimed bronze as theirs on the final day of women's curling at the Olympics.

Kleibrink's Canadian team defeated Norway's Dordi Norby in a convincing bronze final by a score of 11-5. The consists of Glenys Bakker, Christine Keshen, Amy Nixon, Shannon Kleibrink and substitute Sandra Jenkins.

The win provided Canada with it's 19th medal at these games, already Canada's best finish in Winter Olympic History with three days of competition to go.
