Canada USA Hockey Winter Olympics Excitement
The final score of Canada vs USA ended up being 5-3 in the USA’s favor. While  Canadians are upset for  losing an Olympics Hockey match in our favourite sport against our neighbours, especially in a Winter Olympics taking place in Vancouver, it is not the end for Canada.

Canada’s 2 Man Bobsleigh Out of the Running!
“[Lascelles Brown] pushed like a champion,” says Rush, pilot of the Canada 1 two-man bobsleigh. “He deserves better than that. I really let him down.” Canada 1 sat third after the first heat, while Brown and Rush were the fastest off the start in both heats. On the second run, Rush made a mistake in corner 11. So began a snowball effect that got worse and worse and worse until it was over in corner 13, with Canada 1 on its side, scraping across the finish line.”I have never crashed there,” Rush said. “I didn’t bump my head very hard. I got a hard head. I played football for a lot of years. It was just more like, ‘You got to be kidding me,’ this didn’t just happen.’
Winter Olympic Highlights for Saturday
Apolo Ohno finished third in the 1,000-meter short-track race, bringing him a bronze medal and making him the most decorated American in the history of the Winter Olympics. He has seven medals in three Olympics, one more than United States speed skater Bonnie Blair.
— South Korea finished first and second in the 1,000-meter race and second and third in the women’s 1,500-meter short-track event. Those four medals were the most won by any country on Saturday. The United States had three — a silver for speed skater Shani Davis, a bronze for alpine skier Lindsey Vonn and the bronze for Ohno.
— The United States remained at the top of the medal table with six golds and 23 overall. The Americans are within two medals of equaling their total from Turin four years ago.

JAPADOG ONE OF THE FOOD EXPERIENCE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE 2010 WINTER OLYMPICS IN VANCOUVER
The “inventor” wanted to sell crepes, but when the city wouldn’t let him do that, he turned to hot dogs instead, covered with Japanese toppings.
One of the most thoroughly enjoyable food experiences to be found in Vancouver is alongside a Japadog sidewalk cart.
The crowds are huge and the lineups can be long, Â for a fatty, flavourful Kurobuta pork sausage loaded with fried onions, teriyaki sauce, Japanese mayonnaise and nori shreds.

Babes of the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics
I thought they missed a candidate. See below…

Johnny is unashamedly one of the girls. His recommended skin care line is Helena Rubenstein Force C line; his bag of choice is Balenciaga, his sunglasses Louis Vitton. He relaxes by cleaning the house. His diva demands are all about perfection. Does he stamp his feet? Somehow I am sure he does.
But, above all, he really is a great skater!
Jon Montgomery Gold Medal Skeleton
One of the sure bets of the Olympics seemed to be Martins Dukurs of Latvia, the current WorldCup skeleton champion and the leader after three runs. Jon Montgomery of Canada then turned in a final run that was a quarter of a second quicker than that of Dukurs and defeated the Latvian by 0.07 of a second for the gold medal.
