Jarvis won round one of the repechage. His next opponent will be tough to beat but at least he finishes the tournament with a win.

Thought to see Bishop lose to three men.

All around great finishes tonight for Canada athletics. Bishop and the women's 4x400 relay 4th, and Ahmed 5th before being disqualified.

Also means we will see like 50%+ of the funding going to swimming and athletics for the next quad.

Canoeing is the biggest loser here, 3 to 0 medals. 

 

The RBC Olympian program is apparently identifying the next rowers and canoeists, and it found the next gem in athletics (Pierce LePage in decathlon).

Those were all really big finishes for Canada.

Looking at the medalists only Fillion/Benefito, Caldwell and Penderel are likely not to be back for 2020. The future looks bright!

 Boy am I excited for 2020. Potential for multiple golds from DeGrasse and Oleksiak, canoeing and Brooke Henderson, not to mention up and coming stars waiting in the wings.
