MacLeannan is very unlikely to repeat with her finals score, but it sounds like it's a giant victory for her just to be there.

Absolutely - she did great all things considered.

Well, great performance from MacLeannan. What a legendary career. Unfortunate that these will be the first Olympics where Canada doesn't win a trampoline medal, I think it's clear that Gymnastics Canada has to develop some new talent.

I'm disappointed because its another 4th place for Canada - but I'm incredibly proud of Rosie for being such a trooper through her recent injury. She's been a great ambassador for Canada. Canada has had a string of good luck in this event and I'm sad that its come to an end....for now.

I don't know what it's like on the women's side but the sheer persistence of Gymnastics Canada to try to get Chartier to the Olympics makes me think they have confidence in him being a leader on the men's side.

The fourth places that we have gotten have been incredible performances really

So far we have had 10! fourth (or fifth in combat) sport finishes.

 

Rose + Caeli Mckay less than point away from bronze in their events after suffering a badly sprained ankle. Couldn't ask for more.

4 NR's in swimming (100m free, 400m free, 4x200 relay and 4x100 m relay men). They did their best and really no room for improvement at the time.

Caroline Veyre gave it her all and won some points, she wasn't expected to beat her Italian opponent anyways. 

Shady El Nahas fought hard in the bronze medal match against 2 time defending WC Fonseca of Portugal

Kai Langerfeld and Conlin McCabe had a great pairs race, and werent' expected to medal, so their medal was remarkable.

 

The only one that is hard to take is Arthur Margelidon's performance. He made a small mistake costing him the medal

 

 

Yea, I would have liked more medals, but the end of the day these are ALL remarkable performances, which we should ultimately be happy with

    • Some words about Ghiotto: for me he doesn't have the same personality/character, like Lollobrigida- I also wrote about this yesterday about case of Wiklund. Ghiotto can only win/win medals when he's in 100% shape. Otherwise, he gives up mentally. He can't break through in a difficult moment during the race and try to salvage at least some of his race. Today, the silver/bronze medal was within reach- all he needed was to win the heat against Begrsma (when was the last time he lost to him in a 10 km race?). In my opinion, Lollobrigida had the totally different personality, that Ghiotto did. When she would a similar mental, like Ghiotto, so she have given up yesterday with max. 2/3 laps remaining and finished 4. Another thing is that even without the right mentality, Ghiotto today had his worst 10k race in over 5 years and there's no excuse for that. Unless he was sick or injured, but I don't know anything about that yet.
    • When I was recently in Warsaw in December and walking its streets, I have the impression that for about 5-10 years, 1/3 of your athletes of most of popular sports summer and winter, will be probably came from Ukraine/Belarus etc., but I could be wrong. Unfortunately, the war contributed a lot to this, and it's not over yet    Poland did a great business with Semyrunyi, but it was certainly influenced by the fact that they have an indoor track and good training conditions there, but it could have been as you wrote, that today he would have won a medal for Kazakhstan or Germany. At all, Poland currently only has excellent sprint teams: men's and women's, so someone like Wladimir would be very useful in the long distances, because without him, Poland is practically nonexistent there. And yet, they have one more medal.    The Czech Republic, however, has the greatest luck: no indoor track at home, no major home events like the Olympics, etc, all the attention on ice hockey, but for 20 years they've had Sablikova and now Jilek- probably for next 20 years. Sport isn't always fair. Actually, Slovakia could at least get someone like that now, just to balance things out, instead of always having lucky of one country
    • "Hey man, did you touch that rock?" "No, I didn't" "Are you sure, because it looked like you did. You're a good guy, but it looked like you did" "I promise you I didn't" "If you say so" "FUCK OFF!"   -Bad dude   "*mumble mumble* easy to make shots when you touch the stone *mumble mumble*" walks away "Who touched the stone?" Surprised Pikachu face "Who touched the stone?" Even more surprised Pikachu face "Fuck off"   -Not great, but understandable.    If you think someone cheated or made a mistake, talk to the official or confront them nicely. It's not like these guys don't know each other. It's not like Team Canada or Team Sweden hasn't been here before.   This can be turned around and put on the Swedes lashing out over being terrible their first three games. It doesn't appear anyone needs to cheat to beat them right now. 
    • Uf.  Finally managed to watch the last few skaters.  That was painful (Malinin + all the others...).  Happy for Shaidorov  .  He had a great skate.  Now off to nurse some wounds...   (Can we get a reverse upset and have Campbell Wright pull off a biathlon medal?)  
    • QUARTERFINALS of the M 1500m   W 1000m Heats Start List HERE   W 3000m Team Relay Semifinals Start List HERE
    • Based on how people have been skating it kinda feels like nobody deserves to win the women’s TP xD   (so I guess it means it will be an entertaining scrap for gold)
    • Potential for  Schwinghammer-  Laffont in the 1/8th finals
