So, Canada officially ties its best ever non-boycotted gold medal total!  And later today, no matter what happens, Canada will tie its best ever non-boycotted total medal count.    Now

At this point I'm actually pretty bullish that we'll set non-boycott records for both gold medals and overall medals. Knock on wood.   Dare I say it, matching the all time record of ten gold

Bronze for Katie Vincent/Sloan MacKenzie.

 

Another bronze, seriously? 11th bronze so far… this is almost as ridiculous as our 4th place total :facepalm:

Bronze is fine (not great because I was hoping for silver) but I’m sick of it. We’ve won marginally more bronzes than either golds or silvers in both Tokyo and Beijing, and it’s looking like it’ll happen again.

Because Canada produces a lot of good athletes but many of them aren't the best in the world at their event. That's why the 3rd and 4th place totals are high. With the law of averages, some of them will medal while some of them won't. Given the choice between the two, I'll gladly take 3rd place.

Let me be disappointed :d

 

That’s fine, we can agree to disagree I guess, I feel like other than few exceptions (like diving) I can’t really see where that’s the case. Particularly in winter sports.

      Add 1 strong pair from Russia and Cizeron, who will return with a new partner and this medal isn`t so certain. They will definitely have to refer to their life form from 2023, and so far, they have been recording worse results every year.

      First, they lost the medal in the short dance, where their performance were also the worst in the season,   Second, since they had a good free dance, with which they won silver and bronze at the World Championships in previous years (with the result from 2023 it would be another silver today), why experiment and invent something new? You don't change what works well - better is the enemy of good,   The facts are that the Italian pair achieved a worse result at the World Championships than at the European Championships and generally had a weak season, and assuming the return of strong Russians, to win a medal they will need to score around 216-217 points, or maybe more.
