Congrats to Johnny Spillane for winning USA's first ever medal in Nordic Combined.

Canada now has 2 medals: Jenn Heil's silver in moguls freestyle and Kristina Groves in 3,000m speed skating. Men's moguls final tonight, with all Canadian men qualifying.

==========

Canada just won its first gold medal at home: Alex Bilodeau wins men's moguls freestyle! Canada also finished fourth and fifth in the event.

Cool. I love firsts at the Olympics.

Awesome job from Spillane but what a lesson in sports psychology. You knew he was in trouble when he kept looking backwards. You need to race your own race!

I'm happy for Apho and CJ in speed figure skating. Two guys from Washington state winning in the Olympics is awesome!!!

And congrats to Hannah for winning the moguls too! Only gold US has so far, although with a few good chances.
I really wish the US was better in pairs figure skating, it's really a pretty sport to watch

He knew he was losing it and had to gauge how much he had to try to muster up to stay ahead. One could tell he was barely able to hold it together the last 100m. The French guy could sense it and went for it. it was so exciting. The cool part is no one is saying, oh too bad, he almost won gold. he gave it everything he had and skied a great race. Glad he was so happy. So many athletes despair over silver.

The best part of the presentations -- Mary Carillo! Her piece on the Netherlands and speed skating was priceless. Lots of informative and entertaining presentations. I don't get why there was one on Manitoba and the polar bears, but it was interesting.

Canada added a gold medal in men's skeleton. Canada now has 4 golds and 8 medals total--fourth place. US leads with 6 golds and 20 total.

Apollo Anton Ohno becomes the most decorated Winter Olympian in U.S. history in winning his 7th Olympic medal.

I applaude Bode Miller, for all that he is accomplishing at these Olympic games. It's amazing what a difference 4 years can make.

Totally agree, like a different person this time around.

Canadian women rock! 11.5 of Canada's 15 medals so far are by women (the .5 being the Virtue/Moir gold in ice dancing), including 4 medals today.

Canada finished gold-silver in the 2-woman bobsled, silver in the short track speed skating relay, and bronzer for Clara Hughes in the 5,000 metre long track speed skating.

Thursday we have the Canada-USA women's hockey gold medal game and Joannie Rochette (currently third) in women's figure skating. You go, girls!

Canada's women's hockey team defeat Team USA 2-0 to win gold! The men's team was in attendance, as was PM Stephen Harper. Canada now has 8 gold medals, the most ever in a Winter Olympics.

Canada's men's and women's curlers won their semi-finals today and advance to the gold medal match. Women play Sweden on Friday, men play Norway on Saturday.

Friday is the men's hockey semi-final: USA vs. Sweden and Canada vs. Slovakia.

Yes congrats to the Canadian women on holding the US women scoreless. Beating them is one thing. Shutting them out is something altogether different. Impressive performance.

I thought the US men's team was playing Finland. Didn't the Slovaks upset the Swedes?

Yup - it is USA vs Finland today in the semis - not Sweden.

Some very exciting short track speed skating tonight. Charles Hamelin finally wins his medal, a gold in the wild 500m which saw 2 skaters fall on the final turn and Apolo Anton Ohno disqualified. Men's relay in progress now.

Update: Canada wins the relay! Canada now has 10 gold medal--more than any other country!

Americans pick up the bronze in the relay. Apolo Anton Ohno picks up his 8th Olympic medal.

I missed watching these events, but Canada picked up 2 more gold today (with possibly more on the way): men's team pursuit long track speed skating and Jasey Jay Anderson in parallel giant slalom snowboarding.

Canada now with 12 gold medals. Second best is Germany with 10, USA and Norway with 8. Go Canada!

Congrats to the USA Four Man Bobsled team. First Gold since 1948.
