Canada National Thread


Recommended Posts

There’s our surprise! this is one of my favourite events in the Olympics and so glad Canada got it’s first medal in it. 
 

That being said Kelsey Mitchell looks absolutely dynamite and it’s unfortunate she got boxed in. Hopefully she can medal in the sprint.

Canada should really be a gold medal contender in the team sprint for the next Olympics, I feel like that event is what would really play to Mitchell's strengths.

The RBC training ground program found both racers too.

 

They will need a third for Paris.

Second medal from RBC Training Ground, right?

Yes after Avalon Wasteneys in rowing.

 

Mitchell looks really good. I think the sprint is up her alley and maybe she can medal there.

don't they only need two for women's sprint and three for the men? Because Lauriane and Kelsey got fourth at the last worlds in the team and it was just them

yeah we would have been a real contender here but this team only formed over past year or so and couldn't get enough points despite finishing fourth at the last worlds

These Olympics is the very last women's team sprint contested with two riders. It's a very positive change imo.

    • Of the top teams the world with traditions, only Portugal didn`t play in 3 World Cups in a row: 1986-2002 (1990, 1994 and 1998), but then fewer teams played in the World Cup than now. I don't really remember what caused the crisis in Portuguese football in the 1990s or how it was done with this later? Perhaps we should follow their example?
    • Well... If not qualifying for the World Cup for the third consecutive time isn't enough to bring about change in Italy, I can't imagine what will be.
    • Gravina is simply stupid and probably has some kind of hold over other important key figures in Italian football, since he was elected in 2024 with a majority of over 90% of the votes... I have a hard time imagining it any other way. Compared to him, even Carraro, Berlusconi and Moggi seem like nice and kind gentlemens   Some people believe that Calciopoli in 2006 began the decline of Italian football and that may be true. It only got worse from there, not counting a single accidental Euro 2021 win- something similar to Greece in 2004. In 2009 Roberto Baggio prepared a 900-page report on necessary reforms in Italian football, but the then-FIGC board tossed it into the trash bin. Now we see the consequences...
    • I thought our former football President was greedy, selfish, power hungry and delusional, but apparently he has an equal counterpart in Gravina. Some people just lack common decency. 
    • Well, it's possible that Italians may be more bitter towards short track officials after the robbery they perpetrated against Sighel at the Olympics and therefore more willing to comment and criticize them, but it doesn't make the decision any less ridiculous.   Also, the fact we are Italians, and therefore used to the low standards of football refereeing, makes us especially qualified and trained to identify biased/crooked/incompetent judging 
    • I think it was never in the history of our sport has there been anyone as brazen and stupid as Gravina. Before presidents would resign, or at least hide for a while, rather than go into a full-blow scandalous attitude with full larrogance and pride. I hope this idiot gets fired anyway, even if he doesn't resign.
