Team Canada women’s hockey team pose for the traditional victory photo following their victory over the USA in the gold medal game in women’s hockey in Vancouver Thursday.
Canadian women score the gold Benjamin Alldritt
balldritt@nsnews.com Canada is still golden in women’s hockey. Marie-Philip Poulin of Beauceville, Que., led the way with both goals in a convincing 2-0 shutout of the hyper-rival American team at Canada Hockey Place Thursday. Shannon Szabados was coach Melody Davidson’s late choice to guard the pipes for Team Canada, and the 23-year-old Olympic rookie did her chief proud, pulling some stylish glove saves out her hat and frustrating the American power play throughout the night with a 28-save effort. If anyone still wonders how Canada remains so dominant in women’s hockey, 18-year-old Poulin should give you an idea. Not old enough to drink in British Columbia, Poulin still had the poise to blast her shot glove side past two-time world champion American goalie Jessie Vetter late in the first period and again three minutes later in a four-on-four situation. Surely the youngster has got quite a few more Olympic appearances left in her career. Captain and all-around talismanic player Hayley Wickenheiser
was strong for her side, blocking shots and leading a spirited penalty kill, which saw off back-to-back minors and a 40-second five-on-three. The rivalry between these teams is infamous. After losing in the first Olympic contest, Nagano in 1998, the Canadian side has now carried away the subsequent three titles. With little to no other credible opposition, both teams know the
Sidney Crosby and Melissa Hollingsworth are the sexiest Olympic athletes, at least according to single people trying to find a date online through Lavalife. A poll of 1,000 single Lavalife users found that figure skating, alpine skiing, hockey and snowboarding are the sexiest Winter Olympic sports. Fifty-five per cent of single women picked hockey star Crosby as sexiest, followed by American skier Bode Miller. Skeleton racer Hollingsworth topped the men’s poll at 50 per cent, narrowly beating out American skier and Sports Illustrated bikini model Lindsey Vonn.

Martin in the house ARguably Canada’s top curler, Kevin Martin is back in a gold-medal showdown after losing Gold to Norway in 2002.
In a nice show of local loyalty, defeated Olympian and star Vancouver Canucks centreman Henrik Sedin of Sweden wished Team Canada success against his nemesis, Slovakia. “They are one of those teams that are right behind the five top teams,” he said. “They have a lot of snipers who are going to hurt you.”
The colourful Alberta train heads for Whistler on one of its daily runs during the 2010 Winter Olympics.
aprest@nsnews.com Oh Alberta, you do like to go big over there on the other side of the Rockies. Big mall, big skies, big hats and big ideas. Looks like you’ve got another big winner in your latest idea: leasing the Whistler Mountaineer train for runs between North Vancouver and Whistler between Feb. 12 and 28.
In an Olympic market that is stuffed with provinces, countries and corporations looking to get noticed, Alberta’s railroad run is standing out from the crowd. It’s a tough ticket to get — corporate clients, business partners, media members and other VIPs can get an invite from the province, while other customers can shell out $499 per person to ride for a day — but once you are on,
it’s one amazing experience. It would have to be — how else would you get major movers and shakers out at 5:45 a.m. during the partyhearty Olympic fortnight? On a recent Olympic morning the Alberta crew welcomed another crop of lucky riders, including a slew of German travel operators as well as a camera crew from Seattle’s KIRO TV who were there to film the experience —

one more in a string of local, national and international media outlets who have reported on the train. Guests are greeted with a white cowboy hat waiting on their seat and the trip begins with a mimosa toast — on this day it’s non-alcoholic champagne mixed with the OJ thanks to a warning from the liquor law police.

Train generating more buzz than pavilions From page 3
NEWS
Next it’s downstairs to the dining car for breakfast featuring treats such as pancakes and wild boar bacon or an Italian sausage omelette with gouda cheese and roasted potatoes. While passengers enjoy the pampering and incredible scenery on the way up to Whistler, representatives from Albertan sponsors such as Travel Alberta, the Calgary Stampede and Lake Louise ski resort mix and mingle. Apart from the world-wide media buzz the train is creating, this time spent with a captive audience is the major boon of the whole train idea, according to Klaus Roth, head of strategy for Travel Alberta and the man who came up with the plan to take over the train. While other pavilions are relying on people to come and see them, Alberta’s rolling pavilion offers something practical: transportation. “Our clients, or potential clients, are already in Vancouver,” said Roth. “So we said, ‘Once you are in Vancouver, we’re sure you will want to go to Whistler — come on the train.’ We meet with them, talk with them. It’s not that business is necessarily conducted, but you build or enhance your relationship. That is working really well.” There have been some critics of the idea in Alberta who question the costs of renting out a train for VIPs while other government programs are facing cuts. Roth says those questions are legitimate, but he answers that Alberta is spending about the same amount of money as other provinces — they’ve also got an Alberta House located right next to BC Place — but generating much more buzz than other pavilions. As Whistler nears, the train’s concierge services kick in, presenting all kinds of excursions and ideas, even complimentary tickets to Olympic events, to the passengers on board. After a day of fun in Whistler it’s back on the train where the party really starts. Alberta-themed tapas — lots of meat, lots of grains — is served as the two lounge cars fill up. Alberta’s minister of culture Lindsay Blackett shakes a maraca as Edmonton folk musician Lindsay Ell fills the car with song. Arriving back in North Vancouver after a long day, passengers are left marvelling at the beautiful B.C. corridor they have just travelled but enthusiastically thanking the province next door that brought it all to them with an unforgettable prairie panache.

Nissen just misses medal Benjamin Alldritt
balldritt@nsnews.com Canada’s male aerial skiers came into the finals at Cypress Mountain Thursday with as good a chance as they could have asked for — all three men qualified. But despite strong early jumps, especially from Calgary’s Kyle Nissen, the crowd’s favourite flyers landed no better than fifth. Alexei Grishin of Belarus won gold, followed by American Jaret Peterson, whose life story of riches, ruin, personal anguish and drunken escapades is easy bait for a Hollywood scriptwriter. Peterson finally nailed his signature “Hurricane,” a manoeuvre that combines five spins and three somersaults, which he failed to land cleanly in Turin in 2006. China’s Zhongqing Liu won bronze. The American team got a fantastic showing from its Nordic combined skiers, with Bill Demong winning gold in Whistler in the large hill jump and 10-kilometre cross country event. Teammate Johnny Spillane swept silver, and Austria’s Bernhard Gruber took bronze. Norway’s women put on a clinic in cross-country skiing in Whistler, with the four-woman team cruising to the 4x5-kilometre relay title. Marit Bjoergen picks up her third gold and fourth medal

of the Games. The German squad finished 24.6 seconds back for silver and the Finnish contingent were a close third for bronze. Germany’s Viktoria Rebensburg, 20, was the upset winner in Thursday’s ladies’ giant slalom, taking gold ahead of Slovenia’s Tina Maze, who notches her second silver in Whistler. Favourite Elisabeth Goergl of Austria finished for bronze. The high-profile American team
finished well back with Julia Mancuso in eighth. Mancuso has raised eyebrows with her frank criticism of teammate and Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Lindsey Vonn. The tension between the top two American skiers wasn’t helped when Vonn crashed and broke her finger just after Mancuso started her run. Mancuso was waved off and skied later under adverse conditions, likely costing her a shot at a third medal.

punches repeatedly with a player he’s always looked up to, and found himself down 2-1 through four ends. But in the fifth, Martin — backed up by third John Morris, second Marc Kennedy and lead Ben Hebert — turned the tide, making a terrific hit-and-roll behind a centre guard. Edin then missed on two straight runback attempts — one narrow, one wide — and gave Martin a steal of two. An end later, Edin tried a near-impossible triple takeout to score two and ended up giving two more to the
Canadians, and it was just a matter of time before the handshakes. “As much as it was a slow start (for Canada), they kind of came out firing,” said Kennedy. “I think Niklas made four doubles in the first three ends, and that’s the first team that really came to play in the first four ends. Big save by the old Skipper in the fifth end; that was kind of the game turnaround right there. That’s why you have Kevin there.” Martin has been dogged by questions about his inability to win in international events — just one gold medal to

show for seven championship events against international teams — and his younger teammates are cognizant of that fact. “I don’t think,” said Kennedy, dryly, “he has to say what it would mean to him to win. For sure (we want to win it for Martin). But I think we want to win it for all of us. “We’ve had a long, hardworking four years with lots of ups and lots of downs. You know what? I’m playing as hard for Benny and John as I am for Kevin. And I know everyone can say the same; it’s a pretty strong team.”
As most everyone within earshot of television already knows, Rochette’s mother Therese died suddenly from a heart attack short after arriving in Vancouver to cheer her daughter on. She was 55. But Rochette persevered, and, with father Normand in the crowd, found a gutsy performance during Tuesday’s short program that left her in third spot, close enough to challenge for a medal. Even the tough-talking colour commentators during Canada’s men’s hockey games have found the time to salute the Québecois farm girl’s courage. The 24-year-old wasn’t perfect on Thursday, but she stayed on her skates and recovered fairly gracefully from her only serious error. Skating to Camille Saint-Saëns’ Samson and Delilah, Rochette was elegant and composed, if

Canwest Olympic Team It’s so close now, Kevin Martin can taste it. For eight years, he’s waited to purge the disappointment of the toughest loss of his storied curling career, and he’ll get that chance Saturday at the Vancouver Olympic Centre when he steps onto the ice for the men’s curling gold-medal final. That 2002 Olympic goldmedal game loss to Norway’s Pal Trulsen has followed the 43-year-old Edmonton skip around like a shadow. Saturday, he gets a chance to chase that shadow away. “It was a lot of hard work, the last 3½ years,” said Martin, following his 6-3 win over Sweden’s Niklas Edin in Thursday’s semifinal. “So it’s good to get back and have another crack at it. “I seriously want to get up that podium one more step.” Fittingly, he’ll get that crack against Norway, only this time it’ll be Thomas Ulsrud calling the shots. But Trulsen will be behind the scoreboard, serving as the national coach. Norway beat Markus Eggler’s Swiss team 7-5 in the other semifinal. It didn’t look like such a sure thing for Canada in the early stages of their semi with the upstart Swedes, who arrived in Vancouver thinking a top-six finish would be dandy. Edin traded knockout

perhaps lacking the energy and technical prowess of eventual gold medallist Yu-Na Kim of South Korea or silver skater Mao Asada of Japan.
Cross-border rivalry is intense From page 1 “tournament” is a tune-up formality in advance of the inevitable neighbourly clash. Some fans may still harbour a grudge from reports that the U.S. team allegedly trampled on a Canadian flag before coming out to face, and lose to, Canada’s women in 2006’s
showdown in Turin. But the Canadian fans were magnanimous in victory yesterday, chanting “U-S-A” as the somewhat shell-shocked visitors received their silver medals. Earlier in the day, the Fins claimed the bronze medal over Sweden in overtime.
