So, Canadian men, are you ever going to win a medal?

 

Looking at the schedule their best chance will be on Monday (though a man could win on Sunday).

What about Druin?

That's on Tuesday, though I'd say Barber has a better chance.

Barber has been very inconsistent this year, he could win gold or finish 8th and neither would surprise me

The biggest thing I took from this is that COC/athletes have to pay for the ticket to Rio.  I always thought since Air Canada is a sponsor the ticket was free.  I mean come on.  

 

Having done many, many 12 (13...14...two back to back 13s on my way from Korea to Brazil...) hour flights in my life, I totally understand this situation, though.  I'm a big guy, my shoulders spread way past the seat on both sides.  When I'm in the middle I have to sit cross-armed the whole way and it hurts for days afterwards.  And the legs, don't even get me started on that.  I also have a nagging lower back issue from an injury years ago and basically need to lie down for 24hours after those flights.  

 

Anyway, I like Netty, I think she's a serious medal contender that isn't mentioned much.  I hope she recovers well.

Ugh, Canada's eights fall apart at the end.  Terrible camera views on the last 500m.  Absolutely no shot of the actual race.  Frustrating.  

[juddy96 171]

Disappointing by our entire Rowing program with the exception of Jennerich/Obee. Rowing Canada needs to be completely overhauled and we need to go into a rebuilding process immediately

[orangeman 2,285]

Happy for the silver yesterday, but this is the worst result for rowing in 28 years.  Rowing Canada certainly screwed it up good.
