Not looking terribly good for Sarah Douglas at the moment.

Yup.  But again, she might actually fall out of 4th, at least!

And at least it's not another bronze in diving :P . Canada is very good at getting bronze and silver medals in diving, but for a country that is supposedly so good at diving a single gold is a bit sad.

In women's water polo Canada is down by one to at half-time. Canada needs to win to avoid the in the quarterfinals.

The good(?) news is even if she didn't miss that one dive Abel probably wouldn't have been on the podium anyway.  Some athletes can step up when it counts, like that American.

Sarah Douglas ends up in sixth.

Sarah Douglas finishes last in the final race.

Ya, unfortunately Canadian divers historically aren't at their best at the Olympics :/
