Canada National Thread

We've matched our medals from London, and quadrupled our golds, anything else is a bonus. I'm perfectly content as is. 11 medals between Athletics and Swimming is amazing. We have 5 medals in Athletics so far, which is equal to the amount of medals in athletics we had in the last 5 Olympics combined. And 6 medals in swimming is 1 more than than the combined amount of the last 4 Olympics.

I agree i am very Happy with the result.

 

it's a big improvement.

Still early (20km) but Dunfee doing well in the race walk.

Canada builds momentum for 2028 Olympics bid...

Mark De Jonge finishes third in the heat and barely qualified for the finals. Idk whether he is injured ... or ?

[orangeman 1,989]

De Jonge barely qualifies for the final by 0.003.  Did not look like a contender today, though.

Dunfee leading with 17km left.

Dunfee finishes 4th. I can't complain, he ran a great race and a great future!

 

I would like to think what would have happened if Arai hadn't elbowed with him.

[orangeman 1,989]

Too bad for Dunfee.  Not on the 4th, but on getting screwed over by a dirty racer.  

 

Oh well.  Good news is Lamaze is still perfect after the first round.  Tied for 1st with 13 others, though.  Should be an exciting lunch time, with Lamaze, Nyhaug and the soccer game (and Brooke still going in golf, and our girl going in TKD).

Shame for Evan, he took 2 minutes off his own Canadian record but got knocked off his stride by the Japanese guy. With how wobbly he was I'm doubtful he would've beaten Arai anyway, but it still sucks for him.
