So Evan is going to finish right out of the medals :( 

 

Canada mandates a certain amount of 4ths per Olympics.  Dunfee is just doing his part!

If you told Evan he would finish in this position before the olympics started he would've taken that so fast haha, regardless of no medal what a performance from him

Gatlin didn't make the final, Francis was injured

I know that Gatlin didnt make the final ... but why? It was a very low level final, the brits (Gemili and Hughes), Jobodawana and Dwyer all got worse since last year, Francis was injured and Van Niekerk didnt want to win a second medal (where the hell was South Africa in the 4 x 100 m relay?).

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

He was going for a medal :p 

 

I don't believe he would've taken 4th instead of trying his chance for 3rd :d

What a disgusting performance by the french guy, you cant show that on TV!

Dunfee! :bowdown:

He motivated Diniz to walk on! :bounce:

I was sure that Diniz would win gold, but what the hell was he thinking? I really dont get it ... its like Mo Farah trying to run a world record from the front in an olympic final, completely brainless ...

I'm sure he was, but I think even he knows this is about as good as it gets for him lol

At this point in the race, yes, of course :p 

 

Though there's still the hope that Arai has "blown himself up" trying to stay with Toth and might drop back now..who knows..

Yeah, Arai seems to be falling back.  There may be a race for bronze.

    • Here you have statesmen and old leaders that's why we were the leaders back then, and the USSR fell apart.   And who said I support Trump? I have never even been in USA in my life... Personally, I think he's a clown, but he unfortunately reflects the decline of our entire Western World- of which the USA was a leader for a long time.    
    • Latvia seriously attacking the anti-record in WJCh history with the fewest shots on goal in a game    4 SOG after 48 minutes is really quite atrocious stat  
    • My personal favorite in Canadian athlete is Valerie Grenier. She's so likeable and sweet
    • Canada had a great home-boost in 2010. Unfortunately, that's not the case in us – look at 2006... We won fewer medals in Torino 2006 than in 2002 (11 vs. 13)
    • Short-track is unpredictable and ridden by bullshit refs who give out weird penalties and home-advantage calls to favour the home athletes. Women’s hockey, we aren’t beating the US this time around, the rivalry series went horribly and I’d be happy if we can hang on to silver. It was that bad.    Freestyle skiing team, a lot of them have been getting injured our ski cross contenders (Hoffos, who was in the best form of her career, Sherret), Kingsbury, Oldham... Then you have Blouin, and reigning World Champion Liam Brearley in snowboarding, 2024 world champion in skeleton Hallie Clarke, and 2023 world champion in ski jumping Alexandria Loutitt who are all out injured for the season.   I don’t think you have anything to worry about, Italy will have a nice home boost and win 5-6 golds, but yeah that would’ve been pretty bad for us even before our entire team getting injured. I still view it as a disappointment either way. 
    • Do you have short track, freestyle, snowboardcross, hockey x2? You'll definitely win 5-6 gold medals. If you want, I'll gladly sign now for Italy to win 5-6 gold medals in February... Canada has at least 3 girls competing for medals in the long distances, and we only have 1 Lollobirigida- also quite old.
    • team is seriously in shambles and I wouldn’t be surprised if we only win a few bronzes or slightly better at Milano-Cortina…   Our men are nonexistent, Dubreuil still is awful coming back from injury and nowhere near his 2021-22 form, he’d be lucky to get a top 16 finish. Jan-Bloemen is old and his 5,000m WC podium was a fluke, at best it’ll be a top 8 finish in each event. For the women, Weidemann won’t beat Groenewoud/Wiklund in the 5km/10km and Blondin with Groenewoud (probably, she beats her all the time) or Mangianello in the mass start, and Maltais can only aim for a minor medal at best. We don’t even have our team pursuit anymore, used to be by far the best and now we’re getting beaten by Netherlands/Japan…
    • A true champion- van der Poel came to Beijing for 2 gold medal, and he won 2 gold there, without worrying about other people from the Netherlands: Roest, Norway, or any other country. These are the kinds of people Italy lacks.
