The Canadian Women's Cross Country Team Sprint pair were well into their tag-team race when Sara Renner broke one of her ski poles. In a selfless act, the Norwegian coach handed her one of his poles - allowing her to finish her parts of the race. Sara, and Beckie Scott not only made up the time they lost, but caught up to the leader pack and even took the lead at one point. They finished second, 0.6 seconds behind the winner, earning a Silver medal. If the Norwegian coach had not lent a helping hand, the Norwegians would likely have placed third (they finished fourth).They should award an honourary medal to Norway for being so kind.
