Canadian short track speed skating star Courtney Sarault enters a new season as the defending Crystal Globe Champion. I asked her about what it’s like to be the hunted. “I love it. Nobody will have as high of expectations that I have for myself” she told me.

CANADA QUALIFIES The Canadian men’s short track relay team secures a spot in the 5000m semifinals set for Saturday here in Vancouver. Riveting stuff. Dicey passes. Top-two spot is what they needed to move on. Mission accomplished.

That’s the ice master Mark Messer keeping a close eye on things here at the Pacific Coliseum. I met Mark at the Calgary Oval about 15 years ago. He’s been making the ice there since the 1988 Olympics Now here in Vancouver bringing his expertise to short track speed skating.

SILVER FOR CANADA 🇨🇦 The Canadian wheelchair curling team captured silver at the Stirling Wheelchair Curling International. This was a different lineup from the Paralympic gold winning team. Still a very high level of curling from this foursome.
