And the German takes the lead! With a still-too-short-to-be-serious mark. This is what Mitton lost to? 

Edit: And the Kiwi takes it back. 

This was always going to be a short final given the conditions

The distances are getting respectable now. Obviously, Mitton could/should have killed it, but it is what it is. We got a gold one way or another. Just wish a surprise wasn't always tainted 10 minutes later.

Probably not. There is a lot of 'fat' to trim, but not at Sport Canada

All of sports Canada is fat that can be trimed. I wouldn’t be surprised if we moved to the American model where there is zero government funding.

I know it was so hard to celebrate that gold of the men’s relay with such a huge disappointment right after
