With the Closing ceremonies of Torino coming up fast now, Canada claimed two more medals on Saturday to put its stamp on these Olympic games.
Francois Louis-Tremblay added double silvers to Canada's medal totals, placing second in the 500 metre short track race and then joining his fellow team mates one hour later for the 5,000 metre endurance race, placing second there as well.
While Tremblay earned his own spot on the podium for his 500 metre finish, he was joined in the silver spot in the team competition by Eric Bedard, Charles Hamelin, Jonathon Guilmette and Mathieu Turcotte.
The medals brought Canada's total medals won to 24, a mark that will set the standard for the Vancouver games of 2010. A truly remarkable performance by Canada's athletes which more than takes away the sting of any medals that were supposed to be ours that didn't quite come through on delivery.
