Canada may not have invented curling (the Scots did), be we sure are tough to beat! Both Canada’s men’s and women’s teams are expected to do well in Vancouver. We will be cheering for them, and look forward to all the action! In our part to better understand the game, we visited a local curling rink to get the “inside scoop”. Go Canada!
It’s an exciting Olympic sport, and Canada is among the best in the world! Here Quinn and Evan learn the basics.

Maelle Ricker – Women’s Snowboard Cross
Ranked number one in the world in women’s snowboard cross, Maelle is favoured to bring home Canada’s second gold medal of these Games! This two-time Olympic veteran has undergone six knee surgeries but still came out on top, earning her the nickname ‘Mighty Mouse”! She used to compete in both snowboard cross and the halfpipe, but gave up on her halfpipe dreams in this Olympics to focus on her specialty! She was born in Whistler too, so you know she’ll ride that applause all the way to the podium!
