Better chance at repechage if they lose, not all bad

 

And Mian's and Fazzari's ooponents in the first round are world championship medalists. These two are our weakest wrestlers more or less.

Well, that was a fun run for the soccer team.  I'm not too sure they'll be able to beat the Brazilians, either.  But who knows.

Apparently Mandy Bujold was sick last night, lost two kilos in water weight and went straight to the venue from the hospital this morning. Sounds like she was pretty unlucky there :/

I...think you meant to quote Near.  But you are right, courageous performance.

I did haha. This form saves the quote if you draft a message and doesn't send it

Gagne finishes 11th. A huge accomplishment for him getting that first Olympic final under the way. I think we will be seeing him in the future on the podium.

Absolutely.  He already had the talent, and it's awesome that he got this experience in Rio.  He'll be battle-hardened come Tokyo (although he's a really happy-go-lucky guy).
