Really? She's only 23, though I guess the next Olympics she'll be 27 and after university it is hard to put your life on hold for so long.

I am on business trip to Canada,

 

I have to say nice country but I think Rio for your country will not be very good. I expect 0 gold medals won and maybe 15 medals total. Stick with winter sports.

dude ....are you going to all the national threads and say they suck ???? ,....................... you just now said that India sucks in sports ................... now you are saying that canada sucks ...................... and you are putting a name saying India  to say you are from India .................. you seem to be some type of trouble maker ................

Ignoring the obvious troll it is quite possible that Canada could finish with 0 golds. Just like in 2012 we are pretty good in most sports, but rarely the best.
