Canada beats Americans 2-0 for third women's hockey gold

VANCOUVER — The U.S. women's hockey team was hoping the pressure of playing at home would weigh too heavily on its Canadian opponents in Thursday's gold-medal game.
Instead, a capacity crowd at Canada Hockey Place that included Wayne Gretzky and actor Michael J. Fox, paired with a superhuman effort by Canadian goaltender Shannon Szabados, lifted Team Canada to its third consecutive Olympic gold medal.
Canada's 2-0 victory gave the hockey-crazed Olympic host country its most treasured medal to date in this Games.

Restored some of our national pride after the men's loss to the USA a few days back...

I smell a do-over for gold.

Pressure's on, that's for sure.

Did you see them watching the women's game today? Not a one of them was smiling, even after the win...

Its got to be a different kind of pressure when the women show you how it's done. I wonder if they were all wishing they could use that brillliant goalie. They may also consider pulling Marleau and using that little french winger with the laser shot.

"...And the reason Felli had to react to it? Because an equally lame reporter from the AP called to inform him about it and ask for a comment. Is it possible to just see something like this, laugh at it, and be happy for these girls? At least Steve Keough, the Canadian Olympic Committee spokesman whom the AP called, had a reasonable answer: “In terms of the actual celebration,” he said, “it’s not exactly something uncommon in Canada.”...

Emergency shipment of condoms headed to Olympic athletes

Rowdy curling crowds; spontaneous street parties; public drunkeness. You don't have to look far for evidence that the crowds at Winter Games in Vancouver know how to have a good time.

And, as if anymore proof is needed that a wild Olympic atmosphere permeates B.C.'s largest city, now there's an apparent condom shortage.

That's right. As you read this, an emergency shipment of condoms is desperately making its way across Canada to the West Coast city.

Health officials in Vancouver have already provided 100,000 free condoms to the roughly 7,000 ahtletes and officials at the Games. That's about 14 condoms per person. But as of Wednesday, those supplies started running dangerously low.

So naturally, the Canadian Foundation for AIDS research decided to step and make sure there were no hitches in Olympic action.

"When we heard about the condom shortage in Vancouver, we felt it important to respond immediately," said Kerry Whiteside, CANFAR's Executive Director. The organization assembled three large boxes of about 8,500 condoms, much to the relief of libidos at the Olympic Village. They're expected to arrive on Thursday...

since sexual relations requiring or benefiting from the use of condoms usually involve 2 individuals [at least], that implies 28 uses per person. new event, perhaps?
