Seen here training at the Richmond Olympic Oval Olympians Kristina Groves, Shannon Rempel, and hiding behind Kristina - Clara Hughes introduce National Development team rookies William Dutton and Richard Maclennan to the beautiful Richmond Olympic Oval. Coach Xui-li's son is playing in the foreground.
Both Groves and Hughes went on to medal in the 2010 games. Rempel skated as a member of the 2010 team and Dutton and MacLennan continue to train for 2014.
Go Canada!
(Vancouver) The Richmond oval was transformed into a home team hotbed during the 2010 games. A knowledgeable crowd cheered stomped and generally raised the roof each time the lap clock posted a split for the Canadian skaters. Hughes in particular could not possibly have heard her coach in the 5000 as she was greeted in a wave by Canadian and Dutch fans round and round the oval. The noise was unbelievable and incredibly exhilerating. Go Canada!
