Wow... i forgot that her bronze came behind their gold and silver.

To be honest, i think that it was a crime that she did not get more media for her bronze even. Canadians do not realize what a big thing this is. We may have tens of thousands of people trying to make it in hockey here, but few really have the work ethic and talent to do so. In any given loppet in europe, you have 50 thousand 'also rans' that train 20 hours a week trying to be the best. To come in top 50 in any international event means you have beaten figuratively hundreds of thousands of top skiiers. Given the lack of funding and coaching it is really amazing that she has become as good as she is.
