canada sets a national record in the womens team pursuit!!

[Surlympics 832]

Canada will be racing for bronze!! in womens team pursuit against the americans

[james89 871]

Canada did just enough to get to the bronze medal round of the women's team pursuit - it's going to be tough to beat the US, but this is a significantly better performance than yesterday. 

[Surlympics 832]

yeah they must have been saving it for today, they were way better then yesterday

[NearPup 3,116]

I sort of think Canada sandbagged yesterday, because there was really no prospects of making the finals.

Just now, Surlympics said:

To be fair - I dont think any of the teams were anticipating Germany going out that strong and all the teams that went after them really struggled (Canada, NZL, Australia). 

[orangeman 2,007]

Ultimately, Canada was never going to be top 2, so maybe saving themselves for today will work out.  They get a medal race!

[orangeman 2,007]

This isn't supposed to be a fast track yet everyone is easily going under the previous WR.

[Surlympics 832]

yeah I think they were throwing it yesterday too. The one thing going for Canada against the Americans is the Americans went extremely hard against the Brits who set a new world record to try and get into the gold medal final
