Double Gold Medal for Short track Skating
Charles Hamelin won the 500m but it looked like he might have gotten disqualified when the judges thought that he tapped the fellow athlete in front of him to push him out of his way.But surprisingly,they disqualified a different athlete pushing his brother from fourth to third.Making it gold and bronze.
