CTV W-5 (W-Five) had yet another most interesting piece on tonight. This episode was covering the Canadian National Sledge Hockey team at the Paralympics to try and defend their Gold medal title in sledge hockey after a stupendous win at the games in Torino – or Turin depending on which language you prefer.

The team went on to win gold in the World Championship in Marlborough, MA as well as gold in the World Sledge Hockey Challenge held in Kelowna, BC.

It covers the usual locker room coaching and rallying the players, but it’s even more touching when you realize these people have to overcome both the physical and emotional demons that come with living with a serious disability and going on to practice a sport.

No, I didn’t film the TV… but here is Carol Huynh going for her gold medal in Beijing…

Well just as I was off to bed… CBC reports that Carol Huynh is assured at least a silver medal… she has one more bout to do (and if she wins, it could be a gold medal for Canada!) and Canada is finally on the podium.

Thanks Carol … and congrats!

Updated August 16 late evening: See the Carol Huynh gold medal win wrestling bout video here…

Tristan (with his black jersey teammates) won the St-Basile-le-Grand soccer U8 semi-finals!

Well it was perfect weather; sunny and about 22 Celsius… the field was pretty much dry and the two U8 teams were VERY closely matched with only one goal being scored by the black jerseys well into the 2nd half of the match. There was plenty of action at both ends of the field, both offensively and of course Tristan did a great job on defense.
