Your guide to Olympic Snowboarding [INFOGRAPHIC]
Official Canadian Olympic Team Website | Team Canada | 2014 Winter OlympicsOur figure skaters were up next, and they did not disappoint. Great performances from Virtue/Moir, Kaetlyn Osmond, and Moore-Towers/Moscovitch helped Canada hold onto 2nd place overall in the Team event. They trail the host Russians by 6 points and have a 7 point lead on the Americans heading into the final day of the event.
The biggest event of Day 1 for Team Canada was women's moguls. Canada had four athletes competing in the 3-stage final. By the final stage there were two Canadians left, and they ended up on the top two steps of the podium. The youngest of the three Dufour-Lapointe sisters, Justine, took home the gold while her older sister Chloé followed right behind her to win silver.
I just spoke to Tessa, "I think the skate was actually pretty strong, of course the twizzle wasn't ideal. I thought our approach was pretty bang-on."Callum Ngvia Canadian Olympic Committee on Feb 8, 2014 at 11:14 AM
Great performance by Kaetlyn Osmond!shanti.suppiahvia Canadian Olympic Committee on Feb 8, 2014 at 11:22 AM
Season's best 62.54 for Kaetlyn Osmond. @Pchiddy in the kiss n' cry! Along with the rest of the skaters.

Congrats, Team Canada! Go Women's Hockey!
BUT.... Where's the daily schedule!? I've searched your site and finally found a schedule in .pdf, which I had to enlarge to read, and it's in Sochi local time... not very helpful! I'd like to be able to see what's happening to choose what to watch & when, please! Not even a CBC broadcast schedule to be found! -
Here are some pics of Mark McMorris from the medal presentation for men's snowboard slopestyle. Canada's first medallist of Sochi 2014 looks extremely proud of himself, as he should be
Look at that smile!
What a great start to the Games!1 of 2
