Wow, 3 more bronze medals in 90 minutes on Day 4; I believe!!!! Now known as Triple Medal Tuesday.
Antoine Valois-Fortaine wins bronze in Judo. Looks like his first Olympics, only 22 years old! He beat USA.
10m synchro diving pair Meaghan Benfeito and Rosaline Filion for their bronze win. They finished 7th in Beijing, so this must feel great!
Christine Girard who lives in White Rock gets bronze for weightlifting, first ever for Canada! She was 4th in Beijing.
All 4 are originally from Quebec. I remember the 2010 Olympics and most of the short track speed skating team is from there too. Wow, they must have some passion and drive over there!
Also, Michael Phelps makes Olympic history with 19 medals, the most ever. Congratulations! When they interviewed him, he said he just had to relax, have fun, enjoy himself! And he did, he came back after the disappointing first few races. It was in him.
Women's gymnastics team placed 5th, a first for Canada. Even going to the finals was a first. Great job girls, Elisabeth Black, Victoria Moors, Dominique Pegg, Brittany Rogers and Kristina Vaculik! It all looks so good, I love gymnastics, but I can't do it, I tried in high school. Brittany is from Coquitlam, BC! The rest of the team hails from Ontario.
