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

Melisa and Brandy did amazing to get to the final and fought very well.

 

I still think they got robbed in the first set and I'm pretty mad about it.

O Canada we know you are trying but that blow in the first set is going to maybe haunt Canada in vball.  And poor Sarah.  She would have won a medal with her semi final throw. Then there is Taylor. She didn't survive a even 30 seconds.  Let's hope for a comeback from Canada.  but blowing that lead in set one is looking bad.   For one good thing for Canada the 4x 100m it seems not so great for other events.    I am curious anyone know how Kim is ding in Breaking - has it started.  I need to think positive but fear the Sarah or Damien thing could happen to him.   It would be nice if Kate Vincent gets gold but at least a medal.  We have 24 medals with volleyball Canada needs one more to beat Tokyo but the chances are falling faster than the US are winning medals.    Realistically its Kate Vincent; 800m, Breaking - anything else?  Still proud of them but I just can't stand the heartbreak of Mitton,Warriner, especially Mitton who wanted to avenge Tokyo.  Will she wait four more years?  Can anyone else think any remaining events Canada has a chance for a medal?  Is Breaking our strongest?

Oh well. Had to watch on a bus with blurry video. Going to have to rewind to see what that spat was about. 

Canada's second set point in the first set.

 

The NBC comentators described it as Brazil getting away with murder.

      Russian athletes that have changed nationalities

      Ukrainian diver Lyskun switches allegiance to Russia, loses all medals | Olympics News | Al Jazeera   'loses all medals'   I would assume Al Jazeera could have been a bit clearer and mention this would presumably only be national medals. I mean, it's not like the Ukrainian federation, or any single federation for that matter, has the power to strip her of her world and European championships medals I hope (not for her sake, but because that would be a super weird precedent)

      Confirmation about the broadcasting rights.   If I'm reading it right, for most of Europe it will now be exclusive to Discovery/Eurosport or whatever brand they use.     For outside Europe, it's on YouTube. For Planet VPN....well, let us know if you find out.   fil-taker-list-25-26-winterberg-1.pdf   Also, should have mentioned above that the Nations Cup races today are just over one leg, whereas there are two runs in each of the World Cup races.

      Surely. Her first coach now works in russia (and grandma lives in russia according to Sereda). They were in contact and despite of full funding from  the girl decided to become the star of russian propaganda.  As I saw in X: "It took the Russians four years of war to find a relatively well-known sports personality to carry out such a propaganda operation."
