Good performance for the Canadian Women in the relay

It was a good day for the Canadian Women in the relay today . Unfortunately for the team, one of the team skier woke up sick so the team was short one skier to be an official team. After the third skier, Canada was standing in 12th place. Emily Nishikawa who skied the third leg in skating had a solid race.

The Norwegian, as expected dominated the relay followed by the Swedes. The third place was a bit of a surprise with the Russian in front of the US team.

Tomorrow will be one off the most anticipated race of the week for the Canadian with the 4 X 10 km relay. The team will be made up of Lenny, Devon, Ivan and Alex Harvey. This is the best team Canada has ever assembled for a relay in its history so the expectations are high for the team. Alain
