Very popular. We have large Eastern European populations across Canada. 

 

Polish & Ukrainian diasporas in Canada are pretty even tbh. Obviously Wayne Gretzky is the Holy Graal We can claim like 5% of this guy too

Here we go, the 1000 heats of the men's 50m freestyle.

 

And who finished in last place in the first heat... yeah, Equatorial Guinea  home of swimming legends.

I'm surprised the guy from Palau had a 27 second mark.

 

He gives me hope.

Tonight Ruck will race the 100m free final and then have the 200m back SF two races later.  She was only 14th in the prelims, I wonder if she'll drop it to get ready for the last two relays.

THe Canadian 4x200 finished in a whopping 17th place. Just a decade ago they were winning medals in this event. Sad.

It is truly shocking the disparity between the Canadian men and women right now.  I mean, I'm happy our women have been doing so well, and look to actually be improving.  But how can the men be left so far behind?  Maybe Thormeyer and Pratt can rise a bit in the coming years.

The Canadian men are just... bad.
