Magrish, Business Wire 2009. The 15th day of competition witnessed further speed skating acrimony. In total, 21 medals were awarded to nine nations.For the first time at the Vancouver Games, Canada and Germany have overtaken the USA in terms of the number of golds taken The US retains overall first with 34 medals  For Norway, it was another day of success. Their single gold medal has the country on course to surpass their 2006 total of 19 medals?which included two golds?and has the distinction of being the country’s 300th Winter Olympic medal.

Norway has alreadycollected seven gold medals at the Vancouver Games.BiathlonThe illustrious Bjorndaelen, who had thus far taken a silver in the Vancouver games, took his sixth Olympic gold in the men’s 4 x 7.5-km relay at the Whistler Olympic Park to move to within one of his predecessor Bjørn Dæhlie’s record of 12 Olympic medals.Bjorndaelen’s teammate, Emil Hegle Svendsen, earned his third medal of the games and his second gold. The Norwegian team supplanted Russia from first after the the initial leg and retained the lead for the remainder of the event, with a finish time of 1:21.38.1.Bjorndaelen crossed the finish line wielding a Norwegian flag that had been given to him. The gold was Norway’s 300th Winter Olympic medal.Austria and Russia’s teams took silver and bronze, respectively.SnowboardingThe unpleasant conditions that had impacted the games on the 14th day refused to abate and rain covered the course at Cypress Mountain during the ladies’ parallel slalom, while a seeminglyimpenetrable mist obscured the surrounding scenery.The crowd, which was sparser than usual, was unperturbed and continued toenthusiastically support the competitors.One of the pre-race favourites, Germany’s 2006 silver medallist Amelie Kober, failed to advance from her quarter-final after losing her balance and crashing out. It had been an unconvincing day for her.In the semi-final first run, Germany’s Selina Joerg and the Netherlands’ Nicolien Sauerbreij navigated their lanes fluidly, with Joerg finishing her first run 0.17 seconds faster. She could not replicate that display in her second run, crashing as she approach the red line and sliding into the gates.Joerg contested the bronze with Austria’s Marian Kreiner, who had been overcome by Russia’s Ekaterina Ilyukhina.In the “small” final, Austria’s Kreiner established an impressive lead over Joerg and her assured second run held off the German Joerg to secure bronze – her country’s third medal in a snowboard event. The unexpected composition of the final did not diminish the spectacle.
