2:24.03 for Pickrem in the 200m breaststroke. Good enough for 9th, but not enough for the final.

Well, I guess if we have to sacrifice a beach volleyball group game for a spot in the tennis semis and a crucial goal in soccer to satisfy the Olympics gods, I'll take it

I’m not sure if I mentioned it already on the Team Canada club, if I haven’t Mel/Brandie have hit a kind of rough stretch recently in terms of play even though they’ve been reaching the quarterfinals on the Beach Pro Tour constantly. I had them as not among the favourites but in the mix for medals before the Olympics began, now…
