BethAny [email protected] first week of the Olympics was unforgettable for Argyle secondary student Taylor Quinn, who got to experience the Games from a whole new perspective — as a journalist.

Quinn and fellow Argyle 11th-grader hilary johnson were two of 20 students from across the country chosen to act as a student reporters during the games.

their terms wrapped up last week, but Quinn said he was left with thoughts of a future in journalism.

“it was really interesting, because beforehand, i thought of maybe going into journalism, but i hadn’t thought of it seriously,” Quinn said. “now i’m more interested.”

he missed six days of school and worked as much as 16 or 17 hours each day, but the 11th grader said it was more than worth the extra commitment.

“it was amazing. Best week of my life. just incredible,” Quinn said.

the students were all given media passes, and allowed access to places most olympic spectators don’t get a chance to see. the best of their work was posted on the website fyicanada.ca, run by the historica-dominion institute, which sponsored the student reporter program.

“i wrote a piece on the scalpers of the olympics,” Quinn said, explaining that he spoke to about 30 people for the story. “it was kind of about the dirty underbelly of the olympics.”

he also attended a discussion featuring stephen Lewis and right to play founder johann olav Koss about the connections between sport and social change.

“i wrote an article about how sport can be used on a larger platform than just entertainment,” Quinn said.

the students also attended performances by the royal winnipeg Ballet and the spirit of uganda troupe of musicians

Moir defends Own the PodiumCanada’s newest gold medallists came to the defence of the beleaguered Own the Podium program Tuesday.

Olympic figure skating champion Scott Moir told a news conference that he and ice-dancing partner Tessa Virtue owe their victory to the OTP program.

“This wouldn’t be in our hands without it, and there’s no question in my mind,”

Moir said, flashing the medal that he and Virtue won Monday night.

The Own the Podium program has been a target of ridicule in recent days for making promises that Canadian athletes have been unable to keep. Canadian Olympic Committee officials finally admitted this week that Canada would not “own the podium” given the United States’ huge lead atop

the medal standings.Moir said he and Virtue

won their medal through long hours of practice and preparation financed by the OTP program.

“We’ve been hearing a lot of stuff in the media about the OTP,” he said.

“For us, it just simply was not possible without it. OTP was such a huge backer for us this year.”

— Canwest Olympic Team

Olympic ice dance champions Scott Moir and Tessa Virtue met the press at the BC International Media Centre Tuesday after their gold-medal performance the night before.

New friends countrywide

and Shelley-Ann Brown are still very much in contention with their fourth place position.

Joannie Rochette was a hero for simply showing up at the Pacific Coliseum for the women’s figure skating short program. Rochette’s mother Therese died suddenly of a heart attack Sunday. Nevertheless, the 24-year-old was still able to skate into third spot, fighting back tears after her clean delivery.

The Austrian men overcame a third place showing in the ski jumping element of the team Nordic combined event to come back in cross-country and win gold. The American quartet finished for silver and Germany’s team captured bronze.

But the Austrians continued to be shut out of medals in men’s alpine skiing. The traditional skiing power placed fourth, fifth and sixth in giant slalom, but the podium spots went to Switzerland’s gold medallist Carlo Janka and Norway’s Kjetil Jansrud and Aksel Lund Svindal, who picks up his third medal in Whistler. Eric Guay finished 16th for Canada and the North Shore’s Robbie Dixon was

never looked back. Skiing cleanly and defending her line, McIvor opened up some space as silver medallist Hedda Bernten of Norway and France’s Marion Josserand lost some speed while jostling for position midway through the course.

“This is the best moment of my entire life,” McIvor told reporters after the race. I’ve worked so hard to get here and it’s so awesome to be able to represent my hometown, my home province, my home country so well on the world stage.”

‘Best moment of my life’From page 1

and dancers.“There are a lot of aspects

to the Games that people don’t really realize. There’s lots of cultural events during the games that people don’t hear about,” Quinn said.

And of course, although he’s already said goodbye to other members of the program, who flew home last week, Quinn said he was left with lifelong friendships. “That’s almost the best part of the program — meeting people from across the country.”

24th. American Bode Miller, one of the foremost slalom skiers in the world, missed a gate on his first run and with it a chance to collect a record four alpine medals in a single Games.

Russia won the women’s 4x6-kilometre biathlon relay, with the French in close pursuit and the German women claiming bronze.

Although both Canadian teams have locked up their semifinal spots, the women’s and men’s teams were both in action today, the ladies seeing off Great Britain 6-5 in the morning and the Russians 7-3 in the evening. Kevin Martin’s rink beat the Chinese 10-3.

BenjAMin [email protected] Luongo and the Canadian men’s hockey team averted a national crisis, for the moment at least, by beating Germany 8-2 and booking a belated spot in the quarterfinals.

joe thornton dropped the cloak of invisibility he’s been wearing in Vancouver to open the home account 10 minutes into the first period.

in the third minute of the second frame, Shea Weber blasted a shot over Germany goalie thomas Greiss’ blocker. the puck made it past Greiss, under the bar and right through the goal netting back onto the ice. Play continued for several moments before officials stopped to review the play and eventually credit one of the stranger goals you’re likely to see.

jarome iginla had two goals on the night, and Sidney Crosby one. Mike Richards and Rick nash also scored. team captain Scott niedermayer showed he’s not over the hill at 36 with a breakaway goal.

Germany heads for the airport winless and the lowest-scoring side. they put 22 shots on luongo, but the bulk of the game was played in the German end. Bobby lou’s bid for back-to-back Olympic shutouts was cut

short by a pair of defensive errors that allowed plenty of room for Marcel Goc’s wraparound in the second period and Manuel Klinge’s late consolation goal off of a two-on-zero breakaway on which luongo made the first save with no Canadian defenceman in sight.

the win sends Canada to

face Russia in the quarterfinals at Canada Hockey Place today at 4:30 p.m.

Switzerland overcame Belarus in a shootout to break a 2-2 tie and win the right to face the top-seeded Americans in the quarterfinals.

the Czech Republic survived a scare against last-place latvia. the Czech side

was up 2-0 after a dominant first-period performance but the latvians tied it up late in the third, rattling the heavily favoured Czechs. david Krejci potted the winner halfway into the 10-minute extra frame.

norway also exceeded expectations but fell to the Slovaks 4-3.
