Spruce Grove’s Jennifer Heil wins silver

Jenn Heil wins silver

Canada had high hopes that Jenn Heil would be their first gold medal win of the 2010 Olympic games in Vancouver.

On Saturday, during the Women’s Moguls Freestyle Skiing Final at Cypress Mountain, Jenn posted an impressive score, placing her in first place. But it was the skier that followed her, Hannah Kearney from the USA, that grabbed Olympic gold.

Heil, who is consistently described as a “class act,” commented:

I really do feel like I won the silver today.  It’s a fierce competition out there. The girls are so good. I really embrace that and, today, Hannah had the best run.
