I forgot Canada has the former Olymmpic gold medallist in cycling competing tomorrow.  I haven't followed her but I wonder what her chances are.   I would love to see one more gold  come on Wizard or Kate or Arop (better all three).  But from what I read Arop has a lot of competitors.  Now when does Canada name the flagbearrer for the closing ceremonies.  It is probably too late for Summer McIntosh now?

Summer is back in Canada, but has stated she would come back to Paris to be the flagbearer

I'd give it to one of our hammer throwers

Not good. The whole track cycling team has been out of shape due to illness.

I can’t say they were in that great shape before.

I actually agree. Only because in LA the athletics and swimming will switch weeks, so Summer can be the OC flag bearer there. Which is kind of more prestigious.

I know she is back in Toronto  but it is Saturday and the closing ceremony is Sunday - that's not a lot of time to get back to France.  What the Concord or a privatte jet?
