Somewhat surprising, but not really.

DeGuchi loses her fight on penalties...

Deguchi just lost....

 

I can't

 

Unlikely to advance

Yes for sure but a medal gives more funding from the government right?

But less than Tokyo so it could be less

It’s a tough loss, but it’s not like us advancing to the quarterfinals was a guarantee before the event started (basically saying we were on the outside looking in)

 

Not even close to the disappointment of Thibeault, and hey at least she won gold in the individual event?

 

Judo has been a complete flop though.

Just heard from the commentators that Kit was the cox on the boat that won bronze at the Paralympics in Rio 2016

This is one of my favourite Olympic fun facts that she had both an Olympic and Paralympic medals
