Canada's Morrison wins silver in 1,000-metre long-track speed skating - The Globe and Mail

Canada's Morrison wins silver in 1,000-metre long-track speed skating - The Globe and Mail: Team Canada skaters and staff erupted around him, jumping and high-fiving in the infield. After four years of agony, injury and frustration in the sport he loves, Morrison finally grinned and pumped his fist. The individual medal that had eluded him for two previous Olympics was finally his, a silver.

Then Morrison did what needed to be done. He stood up and hugged Gilmore Junio, the young Olympic rookie from Calgary who had given up his spot in the race a little more than a day earlier to let Morrison compete.
