Team Canada: Charles Hamelin wins Gold in Men's Short Track and gets "The Perfect Kiss"


The Perfect Kiss will be more talked about than his superb performance!
Wasn't able to embed the vid.  It's not "pirated" to YouTube as yet.  Go here to watch one fine race.

Ed Willes writing at CanadaOlympicNews:
He raced the perfect race, then stopped for the perfect kiss — again — but half an hour after he announced his presence at the Winter Olympics, Charles Hamelin was already moving on.

And that’s the way a champion thinks. That’s the way a cold-eyed killer thinks. On Monday, Hamelin destroyed the field in the men’s 1,500-metre short track race at the Iceberg Skating Palace, tied a Canadian Winter Olympic record in the process and, with a gold medal around his neck and flowers in his hand, was already focusing on next day’s training.

Hamelin may be in the process of writing one of the most memorable chapters in Canadian Olympic history, but others will have to write that story. His preoccupation is with the work.

“That part is something that I never focus on,” the 29-year-old Montrealer said shortly after winning his record-tying third career gold medal on the first day of the short-track competition in Sochi. “The work still has to be done in the 500 metres and the 1,000 metres. Tomorrow I am on the ice at eight in the morning (for training) so I have to get back soon and make sure I’m ready.”........
