Despite the temperature and wind conditions, Madeline finished the race looking very strong. Her finishing time placed her 6 seconds over her nearest competitor. Finishing just off of the podium yesterday in the 500m., Marie-Pier Gervais-Moreau (QC)dug deep to win herself a spot as the bronze medallist. With a time of 2:34.29, she just edged out Andrea Johnson from Manitoba.
Athletes to Watch	Shayla Heidinger (Manitoba) - Considered a medal contender in the women's 500m, Shayla met with misfortune having fallen in her first race. Her 1500m race resulted in a 5th place finish. She will be hungry going into the 1000m as she is known for her sprinting ability. After postponing the men's 3000 for the second time, the distance skaters will be chomping at the bit to attack the ice.
Human Interest Story	Mitchell Jay from PEI is having a great time in Whitehorse. When asked his feelings on racing the 3000m event in less than ideal conditions, he responded 'It's really exciting..you want to go and race but at the same time you know it's going to be very cold. At the end of the day, you do realize that it's the same for everyone. Madeline Martin(ON), the Gold medal winner in the ladies 1500m, stated that before she raced she was somewhat terrified. 'It wasn't due to the conditions but rather that I knew that I stood a good chance of standing at the top of the podium. The weather was to my benefit as I train outdoors. It was never in my mind.

SHORT TRACK SPEEDSKATING
Competition 1	Men's 1500 m Final
Results	Nicolas Bean, ON, 2:21.350 Guillaume Blais-Dufour, QC, 2:21.681 Steve Buzinski, AB, 2:24.501
Highlights	In the men's final, two disqualifications proved costly for Team Quebec, who had to settle for silver with four skaters on the start line. Nicholas Bean, despite touching the mats on one occasion and suffering from laryngitis, had a very strong race and was able to fight to stay in the top three, up until a spectacular pass that gave him the first place with a few laps to go.
Competition 2	Women's 1500 m Final
Results	Ivanie Lise Blondin (ON) Gold Marianne St-Gelais (QC) Silver Andréa Anh Do-Duc (QC) Bronze
Highlights	Jill Gilday, of the Northwest Territories, was the story of the day as she made her way to the A final of the ladies competition. The 11th ranked athlete coming into the event showed strong performances in all of her races in order to skate to a 6th place finish. In the women's final, Ivanie Blondin (ON) and Jill Gilday (NT) were facing four Quebec skaters. They both knew they had to start strong and stay in front of the pack if they wanted to have a shot at the podium. Blondin is a strong distance skater so she knew she could lead a fast race and not get too tired, which she did. She is used to facing many athletes from the same jurisdiction - she took part in two World Cups in December where she was facing the 'Korean walls' and managed to finish 4th on both occasions in the 1500m. As expected, the Canada Games record fell in the women's competition. Blondin first beat the old record (2:30.400) in the quarter final race with a 2:29.317, and then again in the semi finals with 2:27.910 and finally lowered it to 2:27.690 in the final, in which five of the six competitors skated faster than the original mark.
Athletes to Watch	Team Quebec - They are all very strong and have participated in either World Cups, World Junior Championships or University Games. They are pumped and ready to show some great skating. Many records should be broken in the next few days. Nicholas Bean (Ontario) - Member of the Development Team from Speed Skating Canada. Even sick, he managed a gold medal performance in the 1500m and he should be very strong in the other distances as well.
Human Interest Story	Jill Gilday, NT - very strong up and coming athlete, her father David is the coach of her team, and her brother Michael is currently a member of the Development Team. It's great for her to skate in front of a home crowd and she loves it. 'I exceded my expectations today. I came in hoping for a Top 8 finish, and I made the A final, coming in 6th. Being here, feeling everyone from the three territories behind be when I was standing at the start line for the final race was just wonderful! Ivanie Blondin was expected to do well and be the main threat to Team Quebec for the podium on the women's side, and she lived up to the expectations, capturing gold and establishing a new Canada Games record. 'I'm glad of the way I started the competition,' she said. 'I had to be strong and start the final fast in order to get them tired and stay focused myself, as I know long distances are my strenght. I'm really happy with the result!
Next Competition	500m both men and women. Quebec should be strong, but others surprised today with Ontario capturing both gold medals. Anything can happen in short track speed skating, especially in the 500m, so it should be some exciting competition starting at 11:30am.
