Before today, Canada was 4th in "Almost Medals" (naturally) -> 4th 5th and 6th. I'm sure we're back in first now.

I get it’s disappointing but let’s all calm down. Just want to also point out that Azerbaijan is no pushover.

That’s okay we got 3 medals today as well that were unexpected so that’s great . Thoughts @JockCartier

Up to 8 fourths now, which is one less thank Tokyo (not 100% on that number

How do tiebreaks work with ties in 3 on 3 ? Is it plus minus or is it who won against who?

11 medals is great, but 8 fourths is crazy as a proportion. 

 

Italy has 11 fourths, but 17 medals. GB has 8 fourths, but 27 medals.  

 

(You can also consider the fact that Canada mostly has bronze while the other two have a much more even split between medals). 

 

But yeah, the 3 bronzes today are great!
