BREAKING NEWS: IT'S OVER FOR MICHELLE KWAN
We've just received word that Michelle Kwan's third and final attempt at a gold medal in Turin has come to an end.
Kwan has announced early Sunday morning that due to a groin injury she suffered on Saturday, she has withdrew from the Winter Olympics and therefore ending her chances at a gold medal after her silver and bronze victories in 1998 and 2002 respectively. Emily Hughes, younger sister of 2002 gold medalist Sarah Hughes, is expected to take her place.
Meanwhile, the U.S. and Canada get their first golds in the games; Texas' Chad Henrick was dominant in the 5,000 meter speed skating, while Jennifer Heil of Alberta copped the women's moguls gold. And both countries' women's hockey teams started out strong in huge shutouts; U.S. 6-0 against Switzerland while Canada dethroned host country Italy 16-0!!! Norway leads the medals count with four (two silver, two bronze) followed by Germany with their first two golds.
But once again, the main story right now is Michelle Kwan withdraws from these games. More on this as it develops.
