We were about 2 seconds ahead 3/4th of the way through the race, but Italy charged and we couldn’t hold on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has been an ongoing issue for several quads now. Hopefully this is the final wakeup call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh 7,387 Posted May 21 #164 Share Posted May 21 I still can’t believe we fired Michelle Darvill a couple of days after she coached our women’s eight to Olympic gold in Tokyo… NearPup 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surlympics 301 Posted May 21 #165 Share Posted May 21 Yeah that makes no sense at all why they would fire her after Olympic gold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it doesn’t effect our medal total but still would be nice to have a men’s event to watch in Paris represented by Canada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surlympics 301 Posted May 21 #167 Share Posted May 21 And why do they only have seven spots available for the eights crews. It’s such an odd number . Why not 8 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a medal contender fails to qualify though, just makes it that extra bit more disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do too but it takes a lot of the sting away if they didn’t have a chance for a medal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
