Not to harp on it (but here I go), but more 4ths than total medals.  That says something.

I was close to my prediction.  Knew it right when Biles said she was going to do the beam.  

This seemed like inevitable - too bad for Ellie Black. And ugh another 4th.......I'm not sure I can handle another one.....

 

CBC said Ellie Black has indicated she will stick around to Paris which surprises me.

It's frustrating because to Biles this is a nothing bronze she'll throw in a drawer and it would have meant the world to Ellie, gymnastics Canada and the country.  

 

Obviously Simone is right to compete and she did a great job, I'm just talking about perspective.

I’m not sure if this is a nothing bronze to her given the sheer attention that’s been on her at these games. But you are correct that this would have meant the world to Ellie and gymnastics Canada. 
 

I feel like Canada went in with an extremely strong team across many sports and is just not landing in the competition.

With these 2 today I think we're up to 15.  I'll try to remember them if my mental health can take it, haha.

Mario Deslauriers qualifies for the show jumping individual finals.

Its early, but Camryn Rogers takes the lead in the hammer throw.

Third now. But she should make the top 8 (and get three extra throws) easily.
