Tomorrow looks like a slow day for Canada... 

 

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.

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.

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
