Sunday at the Torino Olympics turned out to be a silver celebration! Canada picked up silver medals in two sports as Cindy Klassen shone once again picking up her third medal of the Torino Olymics in the 1000 metre long skate. Her medal count makes her the first Canadian female to win three medals at an Olympic games and there may be more to her count before the games are done!Over at the bobsleigh track, Lascelles Brown and Pierre Lueders found the podium as they powered their way to a silver medal in the two man bobs. Brown becomes the first Jamaican born athlete to win a medal at a winter games, but he claims it as a Canadian citizen having been granted his citizenship only in January some six short weeks before the games began! He and Lueders have been training in Calgary in anticipation of this chance and when the opportunity came they took their best shot at it coming up with silver.
The two medal wins brings Canada's total medal count to thirteen, with more on the way one hopes in the days to come!
