They can still contend for the bronze medal if they have a solid ride tomorrow - I have a feeling we will see at least one of the bottom 4 teams in that round.

 

EDIT: I just learned the rules are different for women and men re: this.

Yeah, my understanding is top 4 go for medals.  Canada will still race to improve their standing, but no chance at a medal.

So Canada still has a shot at a medal?

No.  Only top4.

Canada looking okay against the US.  Neither team looking great, though.

I may be wrong but my understanding is that the men’s team pursuit you need to finish top 4 for medals. For the women’s you need to finish in the top 4 for Gold or Silver but the second 2 fastest splits will go into the bronze race.

Who's brilliant idea was it to have different formats for men's and women's team pursuit?

No bronze in football this time! Worts case scenario this is the best team sport result for Canada since 1936(!!!).
