orangeman 1,323 Posted February 13, 2022 #21 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Another 4th! I really can't with these results anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangeman 1,323 Posted February 13, 2022 #22 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Sarault has looked fine on the circuit this year, but CBC really built her up as a potential star in Beijing. She hasn't exactly been shining, let's just say that. Don't want to hate on individuals, but that last lap was just sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her best event is the 1500m , so hopefully she does better there orangeman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the exact opposite of Dubois who underperformed on this years World Cup circuit. I would have not pegged him as a 2 time medalist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NearPup 2,167 Posted February 13, 2022 #26 Share Posted February 13, 2022 So first thing tomorrow, Canadian born athletes who spent most of their careers in the Canadian system will have won as many gold medals as team Canada. Yay. Truly pathetic performance ten days in. I really don't see what can salvage Canada's games at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarault is def going to be Canada's best short track skater in 2026 (baring injury or early retirement), these games were just a bit early for her I think. Also the entire relay team dropped the ball with a few laps to go, a few of those exchanges were hard to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt like they sat back the whole race and just hoped someone would fall. Surprisingly drama free races since the debacles at the beginning.

Short track has been shockingly clean after the first incident-filled days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yay. Truly pathetic performance ten days in. I really don't see what can salvage Canada's games at this point. I think double gold medals in hockey would gloss over a lot of other problems. If curling can recover and at least get medals that would help too. But all of those are long shots except the women's hockey team. Canada's first podium sweep, like in snowboard big air, would also be nice. As for short track, I remember in Vancouver there was huge disappointment on the team and then on the last night they got gold and bronze in the mens 500 and gold in the mens relay. Magic like that on Wednesday would go a long way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
