Most Canadians awoke to news that cross-country skier Chandra Crawford of Canmore, Alta., had pocketed gold in the 1.1-km sprint, a bit of an improvement on her 46th-place finish at the 2005 world championship.

That made Klassen the first Canadian to win four medals at a single Olympics (she would add a fifth on Saturday). Three hours later, Canada survived...
