VANCOUVER -- The Own the Podium program was maligned early in the 2010 Winter Games when Canada's medal total failed to meet expectations, but the gold rush over the final few days of the game have helped polish its image.
Michael Chambers, president of the Canadian Olympic Committee, called Own the Podium a "bold program," Sunday at a media conference, despite the fact Canada did not finish first in the medal count.
Heading into the final two events of the Games Sunday Ñ the men's gold-medal hockey game between Canada and the United States and the men's 50-kilometre cross-country ski race -- Canada had 13 gold medals and 25 medals overall.
The golds top the table and have tied the Soviet Union in 1976 and Norway in 2002 for most golds in a Winter Games. The 25 total medals are the most ever for Canada in a Winter Olympics and put Canada third on the table behind the United States (36 medals) and Germany (29).

Chile Copper Mines Shut for Second Day After Quake (Update1)
February 28, 2010, 12:48 PM ESTBy James Attwood
Feb. 28 (Bloomberg) -- Chilean copper mines accounting for about 16 percent of the nation’s output were halted for a second day after a magnitude-8.8 earthquake cut electricity to the plants and damaged installations.
Codelco, the world’s biggest copper producer, said its Andina mine suffered power losses and installations were damaged by a five-ton boulder. The mine could reopen “in the coming” hours, said a spokesman for the state-owned producer, who declined to be quoted, citing company policy. El Teniente, the world’s biggest underground copper mine, also remains closed.
More than 50 aftershocks followed yesterday’s pre-dawn quake, which was stronger than last month’s temblor in Haiti that killed 300,000. Disruptions to copper mines in Chile, the world’s largest producer, may cause prices to rise when markets open, according to Macquarie Group Ltd. analyst Jim Lennon.
“We see copper as the tightest of the base metal markets,” Lennon said late yesterday in a telephone interview from London. “Even if it’s just 1 percent of global supply that is affected, it would be significant.”
The central Chilean ports of San Antonio and Valparaiso remain closed after an earthquake hit the country yesterday, TVN reported today, without saying where it got the information. Copper exports made up about half of Chile’s $53 billion of exports last year. Production rose 0.7 percent to 5.4 million metric tons in 2009. Prices more than doubled in the past year as the world economy recovered and demand increased. State-owned Codelco produces about 600,000 tons combined from the El Teniente and Andina operations.
Anglo American
Codelco’s mines in northern Chile, including Chuquicamata, are operating normally, said the spokesman. There are no reports of injuries to workers or damage, he said.
ENAP, as Chile’s state oil company, plans to import diesel fuel to ensure domestic supply after shutting the two refineries, according to an e-mailed statement.
Copper mines in northern Chile operated by BHP Billiton Ltd. weren’t affected by the earthquake that shook the country today, company spokesman Mauro Valdes said yesterday.
Rio Tinto
Rio Tinto Group, a shareholder in the world’s largest copper mine, Escondida, located in northern Chile and owned by BHP Billiton Ltd., also had no reports of damage, London-based spokeswoman Christina Mills said by telephone.
Empresa Nacional de Petroleo’s halted Aconcagua oil refinery may be fixed within six days, while the state oil company’s Bio Bio unit will take longer to resume operations, Mining Minister Santiago Gonzales said yesterday. He didn’t say how long it would take to restart the mines.
