Considering Pendrel crashed in the first lap I'm not quite sure I agree

 

Grest performance from Pendrel to come back from being way back to grab a medal.

I didn't know she crashed haha. I turned the race on and dozed off and woke up to the Canadians in 3rd and 4th. I was like what on earth happened, haha.

This olympics has gone about as well as we can ask for. There will always be disappointments for every country with a big team of athletes, and our successes definitely outweighed the defeats this time around.

Serbia won women's basketball bronze. Disappointing, since we beat them.

We didn't deserve to be in the bronze match after our performance, congrats to Serbia

Absolutely. Hopefully this is the changing of the guard for Canada in the summer Olympics. Its been such a success.

Korey Jarvis is in the repechage. Unlikely to make it to the medal bout, but its always good to have a second chance.

Also looks like Canada is safe into tenth place in the overall medals table. Its doubtful Netherlands,Brazil, South Korea or New Zealand pass now.

Garcia has drawn Ramonov of Russia in the first round. He is the defending world bronze medalist. In 2013 Garcia beat him.
