Yes, just for the summer.  Then to China.  I was going to return a week ago, but decided the time zone was better here for the Olympics so I pushed some things back.  haha.

Just glancing at the schedule, we have rugby semis and medals and some swimmers in finals already.  Then there's basketball, and if rowing is a go we have some crews there.  Bouchard in tennis.  And who knows what other heros will emerge in other events :cool:

Just had a look and discovered:

In 2012, Canada made 7 finals in the pool.  2 medals, 4 top-5's.  

 

In 2016, after just 2 days (including finals being held tomorrow) Canada has already qualified for 7 finals in the pool.  2 medals, 4 top-5's.  

 

Also, Oleksiak is the first Canadian to win multiple medals at a SOG since van Koeverden in 2004.  And I think she has three more races to go!

Considering no one really expected Canada to contend for medals in the pool, this has been a completely thrilling first couple of days. Extremely disappointed by the flub in the diving today and the poor performance in gymnastics, but elated that Penny won the silver. 

 

Canada also won more fencing bouts this year than in 2012 (we have 2 this Olympics and only 1 in the previous).

We also got lucky that the Czech pair in women's tennis beat the Williams sisters, since that would have been Bouchard/Dabrowski's next match.  Still tough, but not nearly as much.  

 

Also nice to see the Murray bros got eliminated by the Brazilians, since they're on the same side of the bracket as the Canadians.

It was also fantastic to see the Canadian Men's Volleyball team beat the US. What a great result for a team that needed a last chance qualifier that was down to the wire. The confidence seems there.

Yeah.....I think Canada will be lucky to get bronze in rugby.  They played slightly better today against a better team, but that's not saying much after how terribly they played yesterday.  They will likely face GB for bronze, who destroyed them yesterday.  They can't seem to catch a pass.  Maybe they eat buttery popcorn before each match?  

 

Sorry juddy, I don't know why my reply quoted you, and I can't get rid of it even by reloading the page.

    • it's always all about the "USSR-alike" methods used by the coaching duo Maccarani/Tishina at their National Academy   now some leaked phone calls have shown the former Federation's president commenting on the girls with sexist expressions and things like that   moreover, it's been discovered that also Raffaeli and Baldassari were treated like the team by their coach Julieta Cantalupi, forced to get naked in public after missing some exercise in training or kept for hours closed in a dark and cold small room in punishment after a not satisfactory training section   basically, all the Italian stars of the Rhythmic Gymnastics have come to success only after and possibly because of unacceptable humiliation by the coaches, which looks to be the usual attitude also among the youngsters and the "amateur" clubs   Italian Rhythmic Gymnastics is a dirty, sick world     now the Group is basically not active and doesn't go to the next world cup stages, Baldassarri has retired and Raffaeli looks to be happy with her new coach (the Goddess herself, Claudia Mancinelli) after Cantalupi ran away like a rabbit to Israel in Autumn 2023 after the first rumors about the scandals came out

    • Regarding Josif Miladinov case I am not extremely surprised. He is living in Switzerland and does not train with bulgarian team during last couple of years. From his last interviews I only saw lack of any motivation and desire to keep developing his results. He seemed not devoted to the sport and was missing a lot of events due to injuries which was apparently not the only reason. Swimming is really on the rise during last couple of years in Bulgaria but there is some problems too. This year a big olympic size swimming pool was opened in Plovdiv which is super news for the sport in the country. Hopefully further pools will be build in near future, also in small towns.

    • Bulgarian swimming has been on the rise for the past couple of years and we certainly have our best period, since the 80s. But as with most things in  , a lot of good can't be without some bad to compliment it...   First Antani Ivanov, who is having a 3 year ban for missing tests (and who is a real moron and i am happy he hits the road) got busted and started feuding with practically everyone and is never at fault for anything. Last year he said he was retiring and getting away from swimming, but recently made the news sites (for more attention) saying, when his ban ends in spring 2026 he is going to start competing for a new country. But like i said, good riddance.   But more importantly, today one of our brightest swimmers Josif Miladinov shockingly announced his retirement at 21.. This comes out of the blue without much explanation. He made the 100 m butterfly finals at the Tokyo Olympics and the Doha WCH last year, had won a Silver & Bronze at the Euro.   There seems to be no conflict between him and the Federation and he just mentioned in his post, that he wants a new path in his life... Don't know if he is burned out from all the trainings and regimes from a young child or there are some other reasons that are being kept secret, but it's a big blow for this sport here.
