In less than 24 hours, Canada has struck gold for a second time.
At around 5:30 PM this afternoon, Ashley McIvor won the first ever gold medal in women's ski cross, an event that was held in challenging weather conditions. Despite the wind and the snow, a healthy crowd was there to cheer on Ashley as she crossed the finish line in first place, way ahead of a pack of skiers from Scandanavia.
She will collect Canada's 6th gold medal in Vancouver tonight at BC Place. It will be an amazing celebration, following that horrifically disappointing weekend for Canadians. Can't wait for the ceremony!
I hope we can keep up this pace of collecting old medals!
