They scored a bunch here though. 

I guess. They were still 7th in scoring and didn't score in their quarterfinal. But whatever, it's all good. It is what it is.

Mixed medley relay finishes 5th - we need a breastroker for us to move up!

Yes but even Knox swam a 59.64 which is huge for him. They all had great splits . Just questioned why not penny instead of Maggie

Good day with 4 medals. Was hoping for something closer to 6, but Summer came through for gold so that's good. 

 

Some more chances tomorrow in hammer, swimming and 100m (and heck, archery).

I thought Oleksiak said she was done with her season?

Sure, but they were 2.65 seconds off the podium. Everyone was a bit off (Knox actually exceeded expectations). I'm hopeful Angus (or Pickrem) can come through for the women tomorrow.

She swam the prelims in the women's medley ?

She posted on IG at the beginning of the evening session that her prelim was the last race of the season.
