brutal for hugo he won the heat in first but there was a crash behind and had to restart which sucks and then he crashed in the second heat, how is that fair lol?

Made little sense to end the race with half a lap left.  I get safety, but its not like they stopped it when Hugo fell the next race.  The GB racer also caused two crashes which was interesting, especially since only the Dutch rider was penalized.

Too bad for Genest, I think she had a good chance against any other rider.  Mitchell is crazy fast, but her tactics need work.  Hopi.g she can power to a gold.  Getting Laurie Ann Munzer vibes.

Canada ends up being 0-5 in wrestling. Literally zero wins in wrestling. Pathetic. Everyone at wrestling Canada should be fired.

Another 4th!  Makes sense, 4 x 400.

 

They did really well.  It was a hard ask for Sage to hold off the Jamaican on that last straight away.

yeah the realy race was incredible for Canada, to keep up with the Jamaicans was great

This is one of those 4th that actually feels like a win. TBH just making the finals was mission accomplished.

Women finish fourth at a second straight Olympics in the 4x400.
