 Canada's most improbable speed skating story has become a reality.
"It feels just awesome. Finally," Giroux said Friday after learning he had locked up a spot on the Olympic squad.  [...] All those choices I made 12 months ago to switch to long-track: Quit school for a year, moving to the West in April, all those choices I made finally paid off," he said.
