Tomorrow looks like a slow day for Canada... 

 

Just glancing at the schedule, we have rugby semis and medals and some swimmers in finals already.  Then there's basketball, and if rowing is a go we have some crews there.  Bouchard in tennis.  And who knows what other heros will emerge in other events :cool:

Just had a look and discovered:

In 2012, Canada made 7 finals in the pool.  2 medals, 4 top-5's.  

 

In 2016, after just 2 days (including finals being held tomorrow) Canada has already qualified for 7 finals in the pool.  2 medals, 4 top-5's.  

 

Also, Oleksiak is the first Canadian to win multiple medals at a SOG since van Koeverden in 2004.  And I think she has three more races to go!

Considering no one really expected Canada to contend for medals in the pool, this has been a completely thrilling first couple of days. Extremely disappointed by the flub in the diving today and the poor performance in gymnastics, but elated that Penny won the silver. 

 

Canada also won more fencing bouts this year than in 2012 (we have 2 this Olympics and only 1 in the previous).

We also got lucky that the Czech pair in women's tennis beat the Williams sisters, since that would have been Bouchard/Dabrowski's next match.  Still tough, but not nearly as much.  

 

Also nice to see the Murray bros got eliminated by the Brazilians, since they're on the same side of the bracket as the Canadians.

Yeah.....I think Canada will be lucky to get bronze in rugby.  They played slightly better today against a better team, but that's not saying much after how terribly they played yesterday.  They will likely face GB for bronze, who destroyed them yesterday.  They can't seem to catch a pass.  Maybe they eat buttery popcorn before each match?  

 

Sorry juddy, I don't know why my reply quoted you, and I can't get rid of it even by reloading the page.

    • I remember when I was a child and I was on holiday with my parents in Tunisia, I think in 1999? We were on a trip to the desert near the border with Algeria. The guide said something like that: Algeria is a few minutes from here but we won't go there because there is a war going on there and it's not safe.
    • Netanyahu is bad but unfortunately Hamas helps him maintain power. Every attack they make is a reinforcement of Netanyahu's rhetoric about the country's security, etc. In the fall of 2023, Netanyahu was already losing support and then suddenly a big Hamas attack on a festival near the Gaza Strip. Coincidence? It wouldn`t surprise me at all if Netanyahu knew about the plan for this attack but did nothing so that he would then have the tools to maintain his power. I also remember Ariel Sharon - he was probably even more radical than Netanyahu but he had a brain hemorrhage and fell into a coma.
    • Ah yes, post-colonial bickering never gets too old. Let me grab my popcorn!   Netanyahu is on a personal revenge mission to avenge his brother's death for his entire political life and people still act like they're surprised by his actions
    • MId-1962.  Almost all the Jews were driven out in a few days, even though they had been living there since Classical, pre-Muslim times.   Perhaps our friend could give us details of of any current Algerian plans to welcome them back, restore their property, guarantee their safety etc etc?    
    • In what year did Algeria free itself from French influence? 1960, exactly?
    • Or better, perhaps he'd like to tell us what happened to the 140,000 Jews who were living in Algeria in 1960, as against the 200 who live there now? 
    • There are still many people of Jewish origin in Central and Eastern Europe who have nothing to do with the state of Israel. What ties does Zelensky have to the state of Israel? Apart from he waś there as president of Ukraine and speaking in the Knesset? Nothing. In the power circles in Moscow there were/are many people of Jewish origin and what about that? A large part of the power apparatus of the USSR was based on Jews, especially in the years shortly after WWII.   Instead of constantly writing about Jews, would be better to tell me which country Algeria has better diplomatic relations with: Tunisia or Egypt?  
    • Handy guide for the perplexed.  
    • I`m a bit disappointed with the starts of the Italian team. I was counting on progress from last year. And here it looks like Bagnis is still very uneven. In Cortina there will be 3 competitions with medals to win and it would be a shame not to use our track to win 1-2 medals. The same goes for luge.
    • On the other hand Errani's serve doesn't make Paolini's task any easier... But Paolini is in a such good shape here, though, that I hope she wins her first title in the old Fed Cup. For Errani, it will be 4: 2009, 2010, 2013. So far, Roberta Vinci has 4 titles with Italy.
