I've said it before, I'll say it again. Sports Canada needs to invest more in psychologists. Our favourites flame out so often, while those with little expectations on them can perform. It's a constant thing. Not to mention the 4ths.

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

Kelsey Mitchell through to the 1/8 finals in women’s sprint! Wow, I was for sure thinking she was going to be out.

Sport Canada has no new money and all Federations are starved for money. Our federal government is a shitshiw right now

Sarah Mitton has one more chance to get into the top 8...

I feel for her.  The pressure maybe was too much?  It wasn't her day.

Well, this would be the shortest mark for gold since 1964. 

 

And if that's the field that Mitton lost to it'll make it even worse.

And one can probably expect money to be even tighter under the next government.

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.

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

      So 5 of Australia's top 6 current WTA players were not born in Australia. Only Gadecki was.   At least Birrell lived most of her life there and Joint has an Australian parent. Even Saville at least eventually married an Aussie even though when she first got citizenship it was a total joke.   Tomljanovic and Kasatkina playing for Australia is so weird. Also it's quite pathetic a country like Australia, with so many resources for tennis, has to keep naturalizing players because they can't produce their own talents...

      It comes down to what is taught in Poland about the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. The Union of Lublin isn't shown as unfavorable for Lithuania as it really was. A lot of the southern territories of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania was "given" to Poland but it was actually stolen by Poles, the Polish language overpowered the Lithuanian one among the elites, the common coin was Polish-based. At one point, the PLC starts to get treated like one big country, with Vilnus as one of the major cities of Poland. The Vilnius University shown as an important Polish university, Mickiewicz calling Lithuania his home while writing in Polish, etc. The whole stuff after the World War One is barely touched in the high school when barely anyone cares about history anyway, I guess most people don't even know it. With this lack of the knowledge, Vilnus is one of the lost Polish cities, just like Lviv. The current animosities are down to the early 2010s and Grybauskaitė being the president of Lithuania - when there was the increase of the Lithuanian subjects taught in the Polish schools, troubles with Polish surnames, places' and streets' names. The Polish hooligans were also quick to pick it up. To be honest, Lithuania isn't looked down at but people don't understand why Lithuania has the right not to like Poland.
