paige larson: top manipulator

Bethany lindsayblindsay@nsnews.comNorth Shore physiotherapists are playing a huge role inmeeting the medical needs of athletes during Olympictraining and competitions — at least seven North Shoreprofessionals will be volunteering or working at Gamesvenues.

lynn Valley’s Paige larson, a sports physiotherapist at northshore sports medicine Clinic and at deep Cove Physiotherapy,is the venue medical supervisor for the figure skatingcompetitions at Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver, and is filling thesame role during practice skates at the trout lake ice rink.

her role organizing therapists and gathering supplies andequipment means that she has a free pass to all the skatingcompetitions. “i will be there at every single one of them tomake sure that everything runs smoothly. that’s the icing onthe cake,” larson said.

she explained that planning for the Games and developingprotocol for medical personnel began several years ago. “We’vegone over every possible scenario and we have plans for everypossible medical situation.”

Figure skating practices began at trout lake on Feb. 4, andlarson said her crew has yet to deal with an emergency. “it’sall falling into place. there’s been no major problems at all.it’s been a real smooth ride for us to get everything up andrunning.”

this isn’t larson’s first time helping out at an internationalsporting event, and she said she’s keen to be involved again.

“i’ve been to three Paralympics before, and i did the samerole for the World Figure skating Championship in 2001. it’sreally fun. i enjoy the work,” larson said. “it’s very rewarding;it’s just the highlight of my year.”

larson explained that working at this year’s Olympics willgive her a chance to reconnect with both colleagues and

canada finds hockey chemistryBenjamin alldrittballdritt@nsnews.comCanadians got a first look at their much-anticipatedmen’s hockey team in action tuesday night and the homeside did not disappoint, seeing off the Norwegians 8-0.

Vancouver Canucks captain roberto luongo got the startin net and produced a 15-save shutout performance in thefamiliar setting of Canada hockey Place.

Facing him was Pal Grotnes, who some hockey fans mayremember as the goalie who stopped 50 shots against Canadain a narrow loss at a 2008 world championship game.

Both keepers were sharp through a scoreless first period,which seemed to raise fears that the talent-laden Canadiansquad, featuring nine nhl captains, might not find that all-important team chemistry.

But norway conceded a holding penalty early in thesecond period and jarome iginla converted from the highslot. moments later, danny heatley redirected a ChrisPronger shot past Grotnes.

norway’s best opportunity to stay in the hunt camewhen Patrice Bergeron and eric staal drew interference andholding penalties, but the visitors couldn’t capitalize on theensuing 48-second five-on-three. mike richards also scoredfor Canada in the second period.

a nifty backhand goal in front of the net from ryanGetzlaf heralded the end of Grotnes’ night, but backupgoalie andre lysenstoen fared no better in the third period,conceding markers from heatley, iginla, Corey Perry andrick nash.

the Canadian team, made up entirely of nhl stars, faceda norwegian side lacking a single current nhl professional.

Canada’s next game is against switzerland on thursday,Feb. 18. earlier in the day, the united states beat the swissside 3-1 thanks to goals from Bobby ryan, david Backes andryan malone.

russia, one of Canada’s chief rivals for the gold medal,won their opening game against latvia by a comfortable 8-2,including a pair of goals from russian superstar alexanderOvechkin.

in the men’s tournament, each team plays three gameswithin their group. after the group stage, all 12 teamsare ranked by points and the top four get a bye to thequarterfinals of the elimination stage. the bottom eightplay an additional knockout stage to win a spot in thequarterfinals.

at uBC’s thunderbird arena, the american women’steam coasted to a 13-0 win over the russians. Finland earneda more modest 2-1 victory over the Chinese ladies.

Canada’s next game is today at 2:30 p.m., against sweden.the women’s tournament, which hosts only eight teams,

works slightly differently than the men’s. after the groupstage, the top four sides advance to the semifinals while thebottom four play eliminations rounds to determine fifththrough eighth place.

PARK ROYAL WINTER CARNIVAL

d advice.

jane seydjseyd@nsnews.comaBOUt 28,000 Olympic fans had their tickets to eventsat Cypress Mountain cancelled this week after organizersdecided deteriorating snow conditions had made thestanding-room-only area unsafe for spectators.

the decision means only fans with grandstand seats willbe able to watch many of the popular events at Cypress overthe next 10 days including both men’s and ladies’ snowboardhalfpipe, freestyle ski cross and snowboard parallel giantslalom.

the only events standing-room fans will now be ableto attend at Cypress are the freestyle skiing aerials, wherespectators are in a different stadium.

the mass cancellations — which have the makings of apublic relations nightmare — could cost up to $1.5 million inrefunds.

the bad news began on sunday, when 8,000 fans who hadbought $50 general admission tickets for men’s and ladies’snowboard cross events were told they wouldn’t get to watchtheir events and that their tickets would be refunded. Ontuesday, organizers pulled the pin on the remaining standing-room tickets for the snowboard venue.

heavy rain over the weekend washed away almost a foot ofsnow from the spectators’ area, leaving a thin layer of snowover bales of hale that had been moved in to build up the areaprior to the competition.

Organizers said there wasn’t enough snow to build thestanding room area back up and conditions weren’t safeenough for the expected crowds.

they said ticket purchases will be refunded after the Games.Peter Westwood was among those who bought four

standing-room tickets to the women’s snowboard cross eventon tuesday for his children, only to have them yanked byorganizers.

Westwood said his kids grew up and skied with Canadiansnowboard cross competitor maelle ricker, but had theirchance to see her live dashed by the cancellations.

“We were devastated,” he said. “as a family we were lookingforward to it.”

Westwood added he was doubly irked that organizers willonly refund tickets bought through official channels. thatmeans the $200 he paid to buy the tickets on Craigslist isessentially down the drain.

Maëlle Ricker wraps herself in the Maple Leaf at the podiumceremony on Cypress Mountain tuesday.

roars and tears greet rickerenough time to move on to the elimination finals. there wassome debate about whether or not they would be able to runthe second round of qualifying but eventually it did go offand ricker did too, ending up with the third best time. herteammate dominique maltais, ranked no. 3 in the world toricker’s no. 1, was not so fortunate as she crashed in both herruns and did not advance to the finals.

But once ricker made it to the heats, each involving fourracers at a time, she was unstoppable, advancing easily throughher quarter- and semi-finals to reach the championship race.

neilson was there on top of the mountain as ricker preparedfor the race of her life.

just like in her first two elimination races, ricker flew to thefront of the field and didn’t look back.

“Cakewalk,” said neilson. “she’s so good out of the start,she’s always the first out of the start. and if she’s not first at thefirst feature she’ll be in first by the time she gets to the corner.she’s worked so hard for this. i’m so proud of her.”

the noise at Cypress reached a crescendo as ricker came intoview all by herself. Findlay joined in the cheering even thoughhe could barely see ricker. “i couldn’t, i was crying,” he said,adding that he hopes this will earn ricker the recognition shedeserves. “she is the best in the world — she proved that todaybut she has been for a long time. People don’t realize that.”
