If anyone's wondering, Canada moved up to 2nd in "Almost Medals" (4+5+6) after yesterday. Every other country in the top 10 has many more actual medals than Canada.

Hayes should play soccer seeing how much she's flopping around on the 3x3 basketball court.

If you told me the women’s 3x3 had a bet on  to win I’d believe you

Well  advances to the playoff in 3x3. The hard way.

Feels like our 3x3 team is capable of winning against anyone and of losing against anyone too.

That's what's so frustrating. They could have easily won their first game yesterday but instead took impossible shots when easier ones were available and blew the late lead. It just seems like they try to hard sometimes.
