Canada athletes had a great weekend

 Oh boy did Canada have a great weekend.  I think I counted 12 medals.  At the speedskating bubble in the Netherlands, Heather McLean won bronze in the 500m, Laurent Dubreuel won silver in the 500m, Ivanie Blondin won a silver in the mass start, womens team pursuit won gold and men's team pursuit won bronze.  Reece Howden won three golds in ski cross in Sweden and Marielle Thompson won bronze in ski cross, also in Sweden. Jane Channel won bronze in skeleton and Marion Thenault won a bronze in Moscow.  Don't remember the event.  Yeah that's a good weekend.
