August-14-08

Jacquie says she was delighted with Sam's stress-free and mistake-free Olympic debut and she wants to thank Team Brooks, her friends and family, who helped support their journey.

Ranking # 29 out of 47, just 4 spots short of going forward to the Grand Prix Speciale, means Sam will get to play on the Race Track grass tomorrow while Jacqueline will continue to cheer for her friend, coach and teammate Ashley Holzer who is moving forward.Then she is on to the closing ceremonies in Bejing.

Team Canada placed 9th in the team event, the same standing as at Athen in 2004.

Well done Jacquie! We are all enormously proud of our very own Olympian. Go Canada!!!
