((HT: Sportsnet))
The HQ, pretty much, knows the 15-year-old figure skater from Russia will be their flag bearer for the Closing Ceremonies. We think we found the Canadians bearer as well. If it's not Gilmore Junio, then there's a problem...
Here's why...
Junio's family emigrated from the Philippines and because he was only 5-8, his sport eventually became speed skating. Junio qualified in the 1000M since Denny Morrison tripped and Junio didn't...
Morrison is a higher-rated skater internationally than Junio and, knowing Morrison would give his home country a better chance to medal, he turned his spot over to Morrison- and he won the silver in the event...
Tim and Sid discuss with Junio...
Junio wanted to race in memory of those who suffered during the typhoon of last year- remembering his Filipino heritage.
The HQ thinks that Junio will be remembered by two countries now...
