silver soccer pitch and a bronzed mat

canada's soccer team beat out france 1-0 to win bronze in soccer.  sandra schmidt scored in injury time in the second half to win it.  first team medal since 1936 in berlin when mens basketball won silver.  congrats to our soccer ladies for their bronze.

meanwhile on the mat tonya verbeek won a silver in t he 55kg wrestling event.  she faced a japanese lady in the gold medal match and the japanese controlled the match and won the two rounds needed to win the match.  congrats to tonya.  the medal count now stand at 1g 5s and 10b for 16 medals.  thats two behind 2008 beijing.
