After a break from the international scene, six-time Olympic medallist Cindy Klassen leads Canada’s speedskating team in the World Cup final today, Friday, 02 March 2007.

Klassen took a much needed off time to replenish her energy and drive after her multiple medal performance during the 2006 Winter Olympic Games in Torino. She did win five medals, after all.

Her scheduled races are the following:

Other Canadian speedskaters that will be joining her are Christine Nesbitt, Kristina Groves, Denny Morrison, and Clara Hughes.

The 2010 Olympics in Vancouver are always on Klassen’s mind, even though they are almost three years away. But she never considered taking the entire season off from competition.

Cindy Klassen Leads Canadian Team into World Cup Final

Who do you think will move on to the finals?

My intial guess was that it’ll be a Germany vs Brazil final. However, France has a different say on the matter so I’m now at a loss. Hehe.

All I know now is that the cup stays in Europe. Ha. ;)

World Cup 2006 Semi-final Schedule

I reckon I was wrong about France and Ukraine. Pffft. Wait a minute — I have to wait a couple of days more for the next game? Ack.

World Cup 2006 Quarterfinal Schedule

According to the schedule, Match 49 resulted to a win for Germany, 2-0. Winner of Match 50 isn’t final yet but it’s currently at 2-1 in favour of Argentina. Kudos to the host country for moving to the next round, the Quarterfinals. Will it be Argentina whom Germany will be facing then? I wouldn’t be surprised since I’ve been told that they’re a team to watch out for.
