Ice Hockey: Canada beat US, capture third straight gold

February 26th, 2010

Canada defeated United States 2-0 in Thursday’s Vancouver Winter Olympics women’s ice hockey gold medal final, giving the hosts their third consecutive crown. The Americans, reigning world champions, settled for a silver medal while Finland took the bronze with an earlier 3-2 over-time triumph over Sweden.
Marie-Philip Poulin scored twice in the first period and goaltender Shannon Szabados made 28 saves to give Canada a 2-0 victory over the United States in Thursday’s Winter Olympic gold medal final.
The Canadians captured their third consecutive Olympic crown by defeating the two-time reigning world champions in a border war arch-rivalry between the sport’s only two women’s powers.
The Americans settled for a silver medal while Finland took the bronze with an earlier 3-2 over-time triumph over Sweden.
Poulin opened the scoring 13:55 into the first period off a pass from Jennifer Botterill and found the net again just 2:55 later with an assist from Meghan Agosta to give Canada the final margin as defenses then dominated.
Canada won the 2002 and 2006 Olympic gold medals and dominated a pre-Olympic exhibition series against the Americans, who won the first Olympic women’s title in 1998.
Canada and America have met for every major global title except the 2006 Olympic final after Sweden upset the US women in the semi-finals.

Speed skating (Ladies’ 1,500m): Holland’s Wust wins women’s 1500m gold

February 22nd, 2010

Dutchwoman Ireen Wust shattered Canada’s confident hopes of an Olympic gold medal in the women’s 1500m speed skating on Sunday, adding the title to the 3000m she collected in Torino.
Kristina Groves took silver for Canada with Martina Sablikova, the 3000m champion, of the Czech Republic claiming bronze.
But it was a disappointing day for home hope Christine Nesbitt who had started as favourite having set the season’s fastest time of 1min 52.77sec and was lying second in the World Cup standings.
But Nesbitt managed just 1:58.33 on Sunday, far behind Wust’s winning time of 1:56.89.
Wust’s stamina was matched by her father who leapt over the barriers at the Richmond Oval to congratulate his daughter.
“He has got a hernia and a bad hip but in a moment like this, you don’t feel it,” said the champion, who also collected a bronze in the 1500m in 2006.
“I felt really good in the race but it didn’t work in the 3000m and 1000m. This was my last chance. I thought I had to open well and skate relaxed. Everything went right.”
Wust, who had finished seventh in the 3000m and an eighth in the 1000m, also helped the Netherlands become the first nation in 46 years to win the men’s and women’s 1500m at the same Games. Mark Tuitert won the men’s version on Saturday.
Groves was not happy with the conditions.
“The ice was not giving at all. Endurance is the most important thing in this race. Ice like this makes it even harder,” said the Canadian.

Germany leads medal table in Vancouver after a brace of golds

February 16th, 2010

Gold medals for German women in the 10 kilometer biathlon and the luge have catapulted their country to the top of the medals’ table. Magdalena Neuner won on her skis, while Tatjana Huefner was quickest on her sled.

Germany currently leads the medals table at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, with three golds, four silvers, and two bronzes, after a string of successes in Tuesday’s competition.
First, Magdalena Neuner added a second gold to Germany’s medal count, winning the women’s biathlon 10-kilometer pursuit at Whistler Olympic Park in British Columbia.
The 23-year-old Neuner completed the course in 30 minutes 16 seconds, 12.3 seconds ahead of Slovakia’s Anastazia Kuzmina, to claim her first Olympic gold medal. Marie Laure Brunet of France took the bronze.
Neuner won silver in the women’s 7.5-kilometer sprint on Saturday, then coming in behind Kuzmina. That silver was Germany’s first medal of the Games.
Neuner, a six-time world champion, is a native of Wallgau near Garmisch-Partenkirchen in Bavaria, the site of the 1936 Winter Olympics.

More gold, and a silver lining on the ice
In the luge, German favorite Tatjana Huefner claimed gold in the women’s singles. Another German hopeful Natalie Geisenberger grabbed bronze, and Austrian Natalie Reithmayer came in second, almost half a second adrift of Huefner.
Reithmayer becomes the first non-German woman of this century to win an Olympic medal in the luge singles event, after German racers locked out the podiums at both Salt Lake City in 2002 and Turin four years ago.
On Sunday, 20-year-old German Felix Loch won the men’s singles, so Germany – usually dominant in this discipline – will shoot for a luge “grand slam” in the doubles later this week.
But heavily fancied German speedskater Jenny Wolf just missed out on gold in the women’s 500 meter event. South Korea’s Lee Sang-Hwa won the first race starting on the outside lane and managed to maintain her aggregate advantage when the skaters switched sides, despite world record holder Wolf setting the fastest single time of the competition: 37.84 seconds.
Lee’s combined time over the two races was 76.09 seconds, just five hundredths of a second quicker than Jenny Wolf.
The second quickest pair racing head-to-head in the final, China’s Wang Beixing and Margot Boer of the Netherlands, secured third and fourth places, respectively.

Isinbayeva set to vault in London

June 8th, 2009

Yelena IsinbayevaOlympic pole vault champion Yelena Isinbayeva will compete at the London Grand Prix as a final preparation for the defence of her world title.
Russian Isinbayeva has signed up to compete at Crystal Palace on 24 and 25 July, when sprint star Usain Bolt will also be in action.
“I want to make sure I am in good shape and at my best there,” she said.
“It will be my last proper competition before heading out to Berlin, so I want to know I’m in the best possible form.”
Isinbayeva, who turned 27 on Wednesday, has won the London event in each of the last six years, setting a new world record mark on three occasions.
She won her second Olympic gold medal last year in Beijing with a clearance of 5.05m – her 14th outdoor world record – and she has since raised her best indoor mark.
“I’ve set three world records there already so I know it is a place where I can perform well, and hopefully this year will be no different,” said Isinbayeva.
“I’ve set 26 world records so far, and I still feel I can get even better, so hopefully I will give everyone plenty to cheer.
“My coach and I have selected five events I want to compete at this summer as I prepare to defend my World Championship title in August, so every meet will be really significant.”
