Groves stopped the clock at the Richmond Olympic Oval after one minute and 57.14 seconds, a quarter of a second slower than gold medallist Ireen Wust of the Netherlands. Martina Sablikova of the Czech Republic raced to a bronze medal, also her second medal at the Oval. Groves started briskly, and was ahead of Wust by as much as .61 of a second coming through the 1,100- metre split. But even with a noisy crowd willing her to gold, the 33-year-old from Ottawa slowed through the the last lap of the contest. Groves’ podium finish brings Canada’s medal count up to nine, pulling the hosts back into a tie with South Korea for fourth spot in the medal race overall. Ranked fourth in the world, Groves already boasts an Olympic bronze medal from the 3,000 metre speedskating on Feb. 14. Strong starts and laboured finishes were the order of the day for the Canadian skaters. Christine Nesbitt, who topped the podium in Thursday’s 1,000-metre event, was outpacing Wust through all three splits but dropped nearly 1½ seconds in the final 400 metres and placed sixth. Cindy Klassen, Canada’s most decorated Olympian, finished in 21st place, trailing her pairing rival throughout the race. Brittany Schussler, of Winnipeg, Man., skated alongside the eventual bronze medallist, but was well out of the frame in the final lap. Despite being ranked fifth in the world, her two minute, 4.17-second time earned her a disappointing 35th place. Groves, Klassen and Schussler will be back at the oval in Richmond Wednesday for the 5,000-metres. NO BOOZE FOR YOU For a second night in a row, Vancouver police forced downtown liquor stores to close their doors early at 7 p.m. Sunday night. Spokeswoman Const. Jana McGuinness said that Saturday’s experiment in early closures cleared some of the alcohol from the crowds on Granville Street, and made for an easier night for police. “We saw a marked improvement in the atmosphere of the crowds, with a lot less intoxicated people,” she said.

BethAny [email protected] the district of north Vancouver, lynn Valley Village is the place to be to watch the games on the bigscreen and watch daily musical performances during Valleyfest.

Bob Mccormack, vice-president of the ValleyFest organizing committee, described the celebration as “a nice little party for the district.”

ValleyFest is open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day until the end of the olympics. All competitions will be shown on high-definition television, punctuated by musical acts ranging from country to jazz to rock ’n’ roll.

“the highlights have been the various bands that have played. we had Bobbi smith and she was great,” Mccormack said.

But, he added, “we’re enjoying every day, and i think there’s something for everyone everyday.”

there are also arts and crafts for kids, trivia contests, a three-on-three ball-hockey tournament, and an interpretive centre known as the discovery Zone focusing on north shore sports.

“we’re doing it all for the good of our community,” said Mccormack, who was also a an olympic torchbearer and is making himself and the torch available for photos at Valleyfest every day.

“it’s all community based. All the volunteers are all part of the community,” he said.

so far, attendance has been high, with as many as 400 people visiting the Village at a time. “they’re there for both the activities and the games,” Mccormack said. “if there’s a gold medal run on one of the events, we can have 100 people watching at once.”

he was expecting between 500 and 600 people sunday, when the canadian men’s hockey team faces off against the u.s. “i think the big crowds will come for that.”

the biggest potential crowd draw, as well as Mccormack’s most anticipated event, is easy to pick, though. “the gold medal (hockey) game on the 28th of February, when we win the gold.”

Bob mcCormack, one of ValleyFest’s volunteer organizers, can usually be found during the games around lynn Valley Village’s performance stage with the torch he carried during the torch Relay.

COC maintain high medal hopesBEthaNy [email protected] morning broke with a gold medal for American skier Bode Miller, putting the States’ medal count at three times that of Canada, but somehow Canadian Olympics officials remained convinced their athletes could “own the podium.”

although Canada’s was sitting in fifth place in total medals behind Korea Sunday morning, Michael Chambers, president of the Canadian Olympic Committee, said that topping the medal count was still possible.

according to Chambers, the COC expects Canadian athletes to have their strongest performances in the final four days of the Games, estimating a haul of between 11 and 13 medals.

“this may have been the U.S.’s week; the week coming up will be Canada’s week,” Chambers said.

Chris Rudge, chief executive for the Canadian Olympic team, said that, at the very least, Canada should exceed its previous record of 24 medals at the 2006 Games in turin.“We’re still very confident that our team will win more medals at these Games than at any Winter Games the Canadian team has ever participated in,” Chambers said. “they’ll do that because of the preparation and support they had leading into these Games.”

Roger Jackson, chief executive of the Own the Podium program, addressed the medal deficit in a blog post on Saturday. Referring specifically to Melissa hollingsworth’s disappointing fourth place finish in skeleton, he wrote, “Sport is about both joy and disappointment. Without this dichotomy, sport lacks spirit and emotion.”

Jackson defended the medal goals as having come from objectives set by Canadian athletes.

“the OtP goals are not directives, but the reflection of the collective goals the athletes set for themselves. We rallied around them and provided their sport organizations the support they needed.”

he ended with a kernal of Renaissance-era thought on the wisdom of setting lofty goals.

“Michelangelo wisely said, ‘the greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it.’ OtP set an ambitious objective be the top nation in 2010, and this objective has already helped produce some wonderful results thus far.”

— with a report from Canwest News ServiceCanadian men’s skeleton gold medallist Jon Montgomery celebrates after receiving his medal at Whistler Village Saturday.

Canada to face Germany in qualifieramericans 5-3.

the loss leaves the Canadian team with five points out of a possible nine in the preliminary stage. their sixth-place finish means they will have to win an additional game against 11th seed Germany to advance to the quarterfinals.

Sweden maintained their unbeaten record by beating rival Finland 3-0.

Earlier in the day, Russia rebounded from their loss at the hands of Slovakia to beat the Czech Republic 4-2.

Canadian ice dance pair tessa Virtue and Scott Moir built on their strong compulsory performance with a winning Spanish flamenco routine at the Pacific Coliseum, moving them from second position to first. they will bid for a medal with their final dance at 4:45 p.m. today.

Canadian hopes for a medal in men’s ski cross were dashed when Christopher del Bosco crashed near the finish while holding third place. Swiss racer Michael Schmid claimed gold, austria’s andreas Matt followed for silver, and Norway’s audun Groenvold profited from del Bosco’s fall to take bronze.

The result earned the Germans their eight and ninth medal at the Whistler Sliding Centre. Russian pair Alexsandr Zubkov and Alexey Voevoda garnered bronze. Canadians Pierre Lueders and Jesse Lumsden placed fifth, and Lyndon Rush and David Bisset returned to the track after crashing Saturday to put up a 15th place result.

Elsewhere in Whistler, Germany’s Magdalena Neuner won the women’s 12.5-kilometre mass start biathlon, her third medal and second gold of the Games. Russia’s Olga Zaitseva finished second, and Simone Hauswald’s bronze kept up the Germans’ impressive medal production.

In the men’s 15-kilometre mass start biathlon, Russia’s Evgeny Ustyugov would take gold, France’s Martin Fourcade finished for silver, and Pavol Huraft would medal for Slovakia.

Bode Miller’s slalom skills propelled him to a gold medal in men’s super combined alpine skiing after placing seventh in the downhill component.

The following is an open letter to the residents of North Vancouver from a member of the North Vancouver RCMP’s bicycle patrol.

It really is possible to have fun without drinking or smoking.

For several hours, more than 10,000 people shared close quarters in North Vancouver’s Lynn Valley and yet there was not a single arrest, fight, or even a single bottle of alcohol or ounce of drugs seized.

The Incident Commander for the North Vancouver leg of the Olympic torch run says that in her six years in the city and district, and even beyond that, she has never heard of an event that was so large and that stayed so friendly and peaceful.

Cpl. Angela Kermer added that “it’s so rare that a family-oriented event can stay completely festive without having even a few individuals who step out of line.”

The officers who policed the event were almost taken aback with the number of smiles, well-wishes and generally-positive response to the crowd-control measures. Quite often during large events, at least a few angry motorists and pedestrians can be counted on to let rage take over good sense. This time, people chose to take a breath and get through it.

The RCMP would like to sincerely thank the people of North Vancouver for their considerate behaviour on Feb. 10. Visitors to the area, and even some of the visiting police who were doing torch

security, will certainly be left with a positive memory of how safe and welcoming our community can be. The festival crowd was so well-behaved that some the Mounties doing site security

even had time to have their pictures taken with the Olympic Torch — an honour they did not expect. Const. Michael McLaughlin North Vancouver RCMP
