JoshMartini007 2,375 Posted August 6, 2021 #2012 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Day 14 saw Canada win four medals including gold in women's football, our best day of the games. Day 15 sees things winding down, but we still have medal chances in athletics (women's 4x400m relay), canoeing (women's C2 500m), diving (men's 10m platform) and karate (men's +61kg).

Since Italy and Poland have had a tremendous run of form in Week 2 (by our own standards) I wonder if Canada had a better first or second week? You didn't win any golds in swimming? I am pretty satisfied. The first week was great for us. We had great results in swimming. The second week was a mixed reactions from me, but it got better obviously lol Surlympics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second best non-boycotted games, one more gold would make it the best. One more medal of any colour would also make it the most ever in a non boycotted games. Maggie Mac Neil won gold in swimming (100m butterfly), it was Canada's first gold of these games. I can also recall saying "shitty day today" twice, so its unreal this performance. It could be even better. Second week started badly with two straight days of no medals (every day up until that point there was at least one medal).

Since Italy and Poland have had a tremendous run of form in Week 2 (by our own standards) I wonder if Canada had a better first or second week? You didn't win any golds in swimming? Overall, great! Most of us predicted low to mid 20s in medals with 3-4 golds. So We've hit that target. There were some disappointments, but born again Penny Oleksiak and Andre de Grasse paved the way. Warner winning the decathlon was a statement. Charron winning gold was an understated statement. Our swim team and our athletic team came through again, which was missing for decades before 2016. So many high moments, but I'd say the biggest surprise was the W8 winning gold in rowing. I'm so sorry I missed it (I was climbing a mountain at the time), I knew they were up to something good. Having said that, gold in soccer was unforeseeable. Beating the USA, revenge for the stolen game in 2012 was probably enough. But was it? One of the greatest moments in Canadian history tonight.

Its a new event and they have not raced it on the international stage. I'd assume they have some chances based on it being an endurance event. We did have a fluke winner in 2004.
