The 2011 Canada Winter Games are currently underway in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and the results are in from the male and female team air rifle event.
The girls from Saskatchewan, Cassandra Wilson-Anderson and Aerial Arthur, absolutely dominated the female team match, winning by 29 points and crushing the previous games record by 34 points. As a matter of fact, the top three teams all beat the previous match record. Nice job, girls!
On the other side of the gender barrier, it took a countback to decide the winner of the male team match with Team Ontario (Chris Baldwin and Kyle Jackson) squeezing by Team Saskatchewan (Mack Kohl and Clayton Schlosser) for the gold. No records were broken in this match, although both teams did tie the existing record set in 2007.
The Canada Winter Games team has set up a Flickr photostream and there's already a ton of pics there to look through.
The individual air rifle events are tomorrow (Wednesday) and they should be exciting. Wilson-Anderson and Baldwin are safe bets for gold in their respective events but don't hold your breath -- anything can happen in shooting!
Congrats to all medallists!
