Swiss ski jump superstar Simon Ammann pulled off a flawless final jump in men's Ski Jumping NH individual to win the first gold medal of the 2010 Olympics. His 108m (new hill record) jump clearly separated him from his competitors. There was no competitive Canadian athlete for that event. Slovakia's Anastazia Kuzmina won the second gold on offer in women's biathlon 7.5km sprint event by knocking out favourites. Again no Canadians. Third gold (and first indoors) went to the Dutch when speed skater Sven Kramer won the 5,000m event. Two Canadians in top 20.Charles Hamelin is trying to become first Canadian Olympic gold medalist in Canadian soil when he competes in 1,500m short track speed skating event. Jennifer Heil will also be trying to go for gold later in the day in freestyle skiing ladies' moguls. Hope Canadians will break the long time curse of not winning an Olympic event (Summer or Winter) on Canadian soil.
