Maëlle Ricker is the first Canadian woman to win Olympic gold on home soil. It's probably because Lindsey Jacobellis (USA) didn't quality for the final, but I'm fine with that. Jacobellis was the athlete in 2006 that showed off by doing an extra trick and ended up falling (allowing a different athlete to win gold). Ricker suffered from a concussion after falling at those same Olympics. We had Dominique Maltais win bronze during that event. This time around, Maltais fell too many times and didn't make it to the final, but Ricker did. If only these people all made it to the finals at the same time ;)
(Bilodeau was the first man and person to win gold in Canada for Canada the other day in moguls)
