Biyarslanov   is out. Only one shot for boxing medal.

 

O'Brien and Sullivan wrap up their performance. They didn't win anything. Horrible performance for them, but I am sure they will be back stronger next time.

Today is a day to Forget i guess.  Will We see Ellie Black in some apparels finals?

I think I'm going to have to lower my lofty expectations of the basketball team after this game.  This fourth quarter is just...sad.  Spain is good, but these are the team Canada at least has to compete with in order to think about getting on the podium.

I'm just so confused by their offence.  Always stopping the rush, any momentum.  They wait until everyone is covered, pass to the outside.  Reminds me of my Habs.  Also reminds me of Gretzky's quote: You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.  Seriously, you're down by 10 with 90 seconds left.  You're on a rush.  Why stop and pass it back?

I just have to laugh.  In the cycling sprint repachage there were three riders, including two Canadians and a German, with the winner moving on. The German won.  It doesn't really matter (they weren't going to win anything anyway) but I think it's symbolic of Canada's day so far.  I think we've used up all our karma in Rio.

Alright, I was just hopeful that De Grasse could make it into the final.  Now anything can happen.

De Grasse with a bronze! The first medal for a Canadian man in Rio and the streak of days with at least 1 medal continues!

What a race!  It almost looked like De Grasse false started.  ALMOST.  Then he looked out of it.  Wasn't sure if he did it for a bit after the line.  Fantastic!  The future of the 100m.

And also, Drouin qualifies for the high jump final.
