Jean-Simon Desgagnes through!

Surfing has been delayed. My reaction

Good idea. We have no chance, so may as well not watch. Well, all streaks have to come to an end eventually.

Another lopsided display, as defeat defending Olympic Champions 21-14, handing them their first loss.

Coaching staff? Eh, Gaucher did help them win silver at the World Cup in 2022. Sports psychologist? If they don’t have one already, abso-fucking-lutely.

They can, they can also lose against the US. Any team can beat anyone in this tournament, it’s really wide open.

Thank you! This is BY FAR (sorry Kharun, our women’s 3x3 team, and Warner) my biggest wish for a Canadian medal at this Olympics, and now they are so close. We have yet to win an Olympic medal in this sport, even though we’ve had medal contending winning pairings in both Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020, and both times they exited in the quarterfinals. Outside of the Olympics I try to watch all of their matches on the Beach Pro Tour, and Melissa’s sideout has been so poor against some of the top teams that my hopes for them entering the tournament weren’t that high even as #4 in the world. But she was solid today, and it also helped that Kloth was more error-prone than usual. Taking it game by game, we’ll see what happens against Alvarez/Moreno in the quarterfinals…

I feel the same way about them, ONLY during the Olympics though. Anyways the fouls, and the lack of clutchness down the stretch cost them. I’m quite annoyed, but they still have a bronze medal match to go, hopefully they can get it done.

They have owned them on the Women’s Series, not sure how they weren’t able to beat them even once here Mevius is new to the German team, but it’s not like she’s a superstar…

Greinacher scores the game winner with 3 seconds to go. 16-15 over

Not another last minute loss

That’s how they typically play unfortunately.

Mel/Brandie with a big upset win over Kloth/Nuss in the round of 16

AND THEY’VE DONE IT

defeat 20-9. Couldn’t pick a worse moment to have your worse game of the tournament, if you’re Lithuania.

Have to admit, down 9-14, I didn’t think they had it in them, but they proved me wrong.

21-19! Mel/Brandie take set 1!

were my underdogs, I might be onto something

See, I told you. This team is so overrated. Yeugh.

7-0 run for Kloth/Nuss. Mel back at it again.

Well no chance, as always.

US’s 10 fouls is what lost them the match.

Ball stuck on the rim! That’s not something you see often.

I wouldn’t say flop, but McKay would probably need the performance of her life in addition to Spendolini-Siriex making a mistake.
