| Hey! He looks pretty good with a gold medal around his neck, eh? |
Overall, this was a pretty good competition
for Jonathan. In the 1000m, he was barely eliminated in the semi-finals by a mere 14/100ths of a second! In
the 500m, he made the finals, placing 5th and gaining 5 points, and he placed high enough overall to make the 3000, in which
he also placed 5th. Oh. And did I mention the relay? See the picture to the right, and the one below?
GOLD! (Well, this IS Team Canada we're talking about, here!) So going home with a Bronze and a Gold?
Well done!!
