orangeman 1,434 Posted August 15, 2016 #312 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Well, the canoe/kayak was a huge let down this morning. Just like that, Canada is left with only one medal chance in the whole event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were way too optimistic, Oldershaw and Van Koeverden were clearly on the decline and I didn't see any chance of a medal for either. They'll probably retire in a few days.

It's not a huge upset, just with the schedule it happened so fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

De Jonge is 32 himself, so even if he wins a medal here he might just decide to go out on top and retire as well. And then we'll be in a similar position to rowing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
