This looks to be Canada's first non-medal day, unless Philibert-Thiboutot can pull something off in the 5000m tonight. Not too surprising given the light schedule.  Tomorrow has a good chance at being pretty good, though, medal-wise.  

Philibert-Thiboutot has the second best entry time in the men’s 5000m. I’d be surprised if he finishes off the podium.

I feel as though Canada is always dashing the hopes of the home athletes these past few days.

 

Are we the villains?

Yeah but to be fair it’s not like they were expected to win anyways.
