Man ...those medals are piling up. Canada might need to charter a special flight to bring in all that extra weight from Sochi. As at this moment, 9:30 AM, Feb 11, in spite of the latest 2 additional medals, we lost our #1 ranking to Norway by 1 point.
From CTVNews:
...Dara Howell of Huntsville, Ont., won the inaugural women's slopestyle ski competition Tuesday after scoring 94.20 in her first run.
Quebec City's Kim Lamarre won bronze after with 85.00 on her second run.
The 19-year-old Howell was at a loss for words after her victory.
"I don't think it will hit me until later," she said. "It is truly amazing. There is a number of really good girls out there and I came out on top.
"This is the best moment in my entire life."
On having to wait until the end to find out she had won:
"There was so many good riders out there. I had to wait until the end but doing my first ever victory lap was incredible."
Lamarre said she hadn't even targeted the podium.
"I knew it was possible but I didn't put it as my main goal," I just wanted to make finals and then land my run and see what happened."....
