Ice Hockey gold for Canada

Canada's women have won the ice hockey gold medal in Vancouver, the first half of what the host nation hopes will be an Olympic double.

They beat the USA 2-0 at Canada Hockey Place, with Marie-Philip Poulin scoring twice in the first period.

From then on in, Canada never looked in danger of surrendering their lead and there were jubilant scenes at the end as the country celebrated its eighth gold of the Games.

Canada's men's team are in semi-final action on Friday.

Making the success all the sweeter was the fact that the USA had beaten Canada in the last two World Championship finals.

Ice dancing entering final night

 VANCOUVER — Russia's Oksana Domnina and Maxim Shabalin altered their controversial "aboriginal" costumes, but teams from Canada and the USA made the changes that counted Sunday when they surged to the top of the standings in Olympic ice dancing.

With flag-waving home fans cheering their Spanish flamenco, Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir of Canada won the original dance with a score of 68.41. Their 111.15 total put them first overall. "We feel like all of Canada is on the ice with us," said Virtue.

Meryl Davis and Charlie White of the USA, who skated to a folk dance theme from India, were second in the original dance (67.08) and second overall (108.55). "We gave everything we had in the program," said White, who has teamed with Davis to win the past two U.S. titles.
