I was kind of happy that the Canadian woman that was in 2nd after 3 rounds didn't get a medal, because their entrants had been down the course over 300 times each, whereas all the others entrants were lucky to get 30 training runs!

Yes, It's a bloody disgrace. They've done this in pretty much all disciplines. Apparently, part of the 'own the podium' programme was to deny foreign athletes training opportunities
According to wiki, the massive problems with the ice resurfacing at the Richmond 'slow-val' may have been due to the machines not having been broken in properly as a result of this...
Anyway. Well done Amy Williams!
