juddy96 171 Posted August 17, 2016 Author #402 Share Posted August 17, 2016 I think Drouin makes up for the poor performance by Barber, who would've had to jump 5.85 anyway (which he only jumped a couple times this season) to even get a bronze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intoronto 4,357 Posted August 17, 2016 #406 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Canada now tied for top 10 in total medals (12th if you go by golds to break tie) and 15th in gold medal count! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orangeman 1,359 Posted August 17, 2016 #409 Share Posted August 17, 2016 I got some bad news today (not that bad, everyone's healthy) and I really needed a win. Thought the soccer girls would deliver, but I'll take this. This feels good. Oh, and the whiskey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juddy96 171 Posted August 17, 2016 Author #410 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Considering we had no athletes that were big favourites for the gold, this is a really good result to have 3 golds. Different judges or a slightly worse touch at the wall and we could have 1 gold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
