56 - Golden Two-Fer!

Short track speed-skating is an incredibly fast and exciting event.  Despite a bumpy start for Canadian skaters, our team began to show world-class talent.  My wife and I were fortunate enough to be able to watch short track speed-skating in person.  I have a collection of photos from the event with which I am very happy. 


Here is a picture of Charles Hamelin (205) in action.  He went on to win an Olympic gold medal for Men's 500 Sprint.



Above is a photo I took of the Hamelin brothers Charles (205) and François (206), as they prepare to skate.  Both brothers were on the Canadian 5000 Meter Relay team, along with Olivier Jean and François-Louis Tremblay.   Our Relay team also earned a gold medal!  Two golds in one night!
