Why does this shit always happen to Canadians only.

 

None of out Olympic champions are likely to repeat now. What a disaster

I've said it before, I'll say it again: Canadian athletes (as a whole) have some mental block and have a hard time succeeding under pressure. It's been years if not decades. It's why we get so many 4th/5ths. Look at our medals now, half of them are surprises while favourites underperform. Summer is doing great, though!

I think this combined with pierce lepage is the worst news in the history of Canadian Olympic sport

Olsen got 14.400 on her vaults in the team event. If she can replicate that, or even bring it up a touch, she's in the mix for the medals. And we'll see what Ellie can do, too.

If Canada can win a medal in the vault it will make up for it
