Canada National Thread

Can't believe Canada beat Mexico in World Cup qualifying.  Now Canada sits atop of the pool with 6 more games to go in the new year.  Looking good, but not counting any eggs yet.

Following the Roar of the Rings, or whatever it's called now, the Tim Hortons because it's Canada and curling so of course it's Tim Hortons Curling Trials.  Just hoping Canada can redeem itself from the embarrassment of Pyeongchang.  For that reason, I'm rooting for any rink that has an Olympic gold medal in their pocket: Jones on the women's side and Jacobs or Gushue on the men's.  They all look to make the playoffs now.  I don't want to root against anyone, but I watched Koe in person at the semi-finals in 2018 and he looked completely confused.  Obviously he does have great international performances under his belt, and 4th at the Olympics isn't anything to sneeze at.  

 

I look forward to hopefully seeing some curling live here in Beijing this February, but the Ice Cube is limited to 2000 spectators, so I doubt a mere mortal like me will be able to get tickets.  Then again it's curling, but China is not terrible so we'll see.

Hello guys and Merry Christmas!

 

I would like to hear from you if you want the Canadian subdomain to be created, where you can have sections for each sport and which hopefully will bring more Canadian olympic fans on the forum. I plan to do it before the Winter Olympics so you can already use that during the Games in february and then switch the focus on Paris 2024.

 

What would you like to be the link of that? It will be in the form of XYZ.totallympics.com, so you will have to choose what XYZ will be.

 

Thanks!

Since the Olympic trials in speed skating are cancelled the process for selecting the team is up in the air, but this is more or less what I expect it to look like based on results this Fall:

 

Laurent Dubreuil: 500, 1000
Alex Boisvert-Lacroix: 500
Connor Howe: 1000. 1500, TP
Antoine Gélinas-Beaulieu: 1000, MS
Tyson Langelaar: 1500, TP
Ted-Jan Bloemen: 5000, 10000, TP
Graeme Fish: 10000
Jordan Belchos: MS, TP


Marsha Hudey: 500
Kaylin Irvine: 500
Brooklyn McDougall: 500
Maddison Pearman: 1000
Valérie Maltais: 1000, 3000, MS, TP
Ivanie Blondin: 1500, 3000, 5000, MS, TP
Isabelle Weidemann: 1500, 3000, 5000, TP
Alexa Scott could be selected in the 1000 or 1500 to give Blondin, Weidemann or Maltais a rest and/or as the alternate for the team pursuit.

    • Agree with pretty much everything you said and I definitely see issues with it, but it’s not cheating and I don’t think it was intentional. Cheating would be if the rule on it explicitly state that you can’t touch the rock twice/granite before it reaches the hog-line.    This leaves a lot of room for confusion and although maybe Kennedy thought he wasn’t doing anything wrong, he was a bit of a dick the way he went about it    Now, reading after these, he “technically” didn’t break any rules, but it probably should’ve be a burned rock. Then again it’s not clear enough.    I hope situations like these can be avoided in the future. 
    • Well it all started already after 2nd end and then they talked to the umpire. And the immediate reaction was to say the same accusations about Oskar instead to the umpire. this can not be seen in any other way as well rehearsed cheating.  You are allowed since a few years back to double touch the handle but you may never touch the granite. It is just like doing it with the broom further down the sheet
    • For the love of all that's holy, change the frickin' record. You haven't got a clue about UK funding decisions.
    • I just woke up. It's surprising that Malinin lost. Before the Olympics, I thought there was a 99% chance Malinin would win. I can only say that this is the charm of the Olympics.
    • I'm far from perfect but for the most part my skeletons are funnier than they are problematic - just stuff I prefer to not share on International television :P   I also don't have an SO to cheat on (...anymore, since I am a divorcé and single-ish xD )
    • Always incredible to see people freely share information that you could not waterboard out of me

    • Some words about Ghiotto: for me he doesn't have the same personality/character, like Lollobrigida- I also wrote about this yesterday about case of Wiklund. Ghiotto can only win/win medals when he's in 100% shape. Otherwise, he gives up mentally. He can't break through in a difficult moment during the race and try to salvage at least some of his race. Today, the silver/bronze medal was within reach- all he needed was to win the heat against Begrsma (when was the last time he lost to him in a 10 km race?). In my opinion, Lollobrigida had the totally different personality, that Ghiotto did. When she would a similar mental, like Ghiotto, so she have given up yesterday with max. 2/3 laps remaining and finished 4. Another thing is that even without the right mentality, Ghiotto today had his worst 10k race in over 5 years and there's no excuse for that. Unless he was sick or injured, but I don't know anything about that yet.
