Greetings this Sunday Morning!

Just a couple of observations from last night's and this mornings events from coverage I've managed to catch - augmented by a few notes by Dan Funboy.

Besides Jennifer Heil's awesome performance and Women's Hockey rolling over Italy (as I type they are leading Russia 10-0), i enjoyed an inspired performance by Italian long-strack speed skater (insert name here), who absolutely looked like he was being pushed by the Italian crowd.  Great to see the homer country get on the medal board early too.

More about Speed skating, that hotshot American kid is fast and determined, watch his technique, a double push but they'll likely talk about this on TV-coverage.  CBC has Catroina LeMay Doan doing color commentary and she was quite good (though she looks rather soccer-mom-ish now - cause well, ... she probably is) but she called on Canada to support more and help the athletes to "own the podium" (the Canadian mantra).
