Two more medals for a total of 9. That puts Canada in 15 - 19th place depending on whos is counting.

Quote
8th - Canadian Karen Cockburn has won her third career Olympic medal, claiming silver in women's trampoline.

9th - Canada has won a silver medal in Olympic equestrian team show jumping, after losing a jump-off with the United States. Ian Millar of Perth, Ont., Jill Henselwood of Oxford Mills, Ont., Eric Lamaze of Schomberg, Ont., and Mac Cone of King City, Ont., finished second with a two-day total of 20 regulation jumping faults plus four in the jump-off.

Kayaker van Koeverden qualifies for K-1 1,000-metre final at Beijing Games

He has been pegged as one of Canada's top medal hopefuls, was the country's flag-bearer at the opening ceremonies. Van Koeverden looked strong Monday in winning his opening heat in the men's K-1 1,000 metres to advance straight to Friday's final.

Nope.  In front of me is the bow. I look behind me constantly.

If I were looking in front of me I would be hurting my neck.

Canada's up to 11 medals with two new medals overnight. :aok

Gymnast Jason Burnett reached the podium in his first Olympics while veteran triathlete Simon Whitfield won his second career medal as Canada enjoyed another successful day at the Beijing Games.

Burnett won silver in men's trampoline. The three-time Canadian champion from Toronto expertly executed a routine with a high difficulty rating and finished second with 40.7 points

Meanwhile, Whitfield earned silver in triathlon after winning gold in the event at the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
