Silver medalists


In this post I will tell you all of the Canadians who have won silver in the Olympics! In the Men's 3 metre springboard Alexandre Despatie takes the silver. In the Women's 10 metre Platform Emilie Heymans gets the silver. Emilie Heymans was sitting in the gold medal position until the last diver! In Equestrian jumping Team Canada takes the silver after being defeated in a jump off by the United States. Personally, I do not think it was fair because the Canadians only had three riders throughout this competition but they were supposed to have four as one of team Canada's horses got injured. So in the jump off the United States took there lowest score off as they could only count three scores. In Trampoline Jason Burnett gets silver. Karen Cockburn wins silver in trampoline as well. In the triathlon Simon Whitfield was in fourth place but while he was running the last 100 metres of the triathlon he kicked it up a notch passing two men to get the silver! In Taekwondo Karine Segerie Women's Welter(57-67kg) gets a silver after losing a close match against Korea. Karine really wanted to win gold and was very happy for herself for winning silver but was very unhappy with herself at the same time as she only lost by one point form getting the gold. Maybe she will come back next year even hungrier for that gold medal.
