FILE--Canadian speedskater Kristina Groves poses with her skates at the Oympic Oval in Calgary, Thursday, Jan. 22, 2009. The host team's success at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver and Whistler, B.C., rests largely on the long blades and muscular legs of Canada's long-track speedskating team. Ottawa's Groves, Christina Groves of London, Ont., and Denny Morrison of Fort St. John, B.C., have been Canada's headliners this season in the absence of injured Cindy Klassen and Jeremy Wotherspoon.
