I realized my comment sounded like I only tune in every 4 years (3? 5?). But I mean that she may be the break out star in Paris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangeman 1,422 Posted July 29, 2021 #1502 Share Posted July 29, 2021 So Canada not even trying to make the final with that line up, eh? Edit: What I mean by that is that when I saw Canada's line up I assumed the other teams would put in their B stars too. But the other countries put in many of their A players in the heats. Canada............ did not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NearPup 2,335 Posted July 29, 2021 #1506 Share Posted July 29, 2021 To be fair on the women's side anyway this was more a C team than a B team. I think they pretty wisely decided this wasn't going to be a medal chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangeman 1,422 Posted July 29, 2021 #1507 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Maybe with how some other nations are swimming here (China) they knew there was no real medal chance so they're happy to let those other nations tire out their swimmers on this relay.

orangeman 1,422 Posted July 29, 2021 #1508 Share Posted July 29, 2021 I'm thinking Ruck and Masse just swam the race before, Liendo just a few minutes before that, want to keep Penny ready for the 100 tomorrow morning, Pickrem not up to her best this meet so far. I'm sure they looked at how the other teams were finishing and decided to concentrate on other races. NearPup 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NearPup 2,335 Posted July 29, 2021 #1509 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Not sure it was mentioned here but ultimately the women's foil team finished 5th, which is the second best result ever for Canada in fencing. Jessica Guo is a really exciting prospect for LA and Brisbane (she's still going to be really young in Paris). Surlympics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
