Earlier in the day, in St. Catharines Canada captured three gold medals in the rowing event. Carling Zeeman won the women's single sculls race, finishing more than seven seconds ahead of her closest competitor.
It was also another multi-medal day for Canada's paddlers competing a few kilometers down the highway at the Welland Flatwater Centre. The host country's canoeists and kayakers won five medals Tuesday, including two gold, giving them 10 overall in sprint events.

"We were training pretty hard last week and didn't have that taper going into this as much as we would for worlds," de Jonge said. "But you just have to deal with it, the long-term goal is qualifying for the Olympics, and ultimately win a gold medal at the Olympics."
Over the rest of the week, steady ticket sales are anticipated as competitions in popular sports like basketball, soccer www.airmax97scontateit.it , baseball and athletics get underway, organizers said, noting that crowds at events so far have been very supportive of all athletes.

BEIJING, April 2 (Xinhua) -- China's implement of "Sky Net" campaign to round up corrupt officials who have fled the country is another piece of evidence showing China's unequivocal resolution to crash down corruption and graft, and destroys the fantasies of those officials that they can avoid punishment by hiding in other countries.
