canada onto the quarter finals in beach volleyball !

Geneviève Lalonde sets a record in the women's 3000m steeplechases. She finished 4th in her heat and will wait to see if she qualifies on time.

Thankfully Israel won a medal too. Their judo team has to have the least luck at these games

into semifinals!

Tang  beats Kim  
 
No medal for  in men’s archery 

And a new NR !

Awesome silver for Masse, crushed her national record

into semifinals!

New NR for and  

I was asking that myself earlier and I probably should since these are all placements one shy of a medal.
The next update will include them.

Three straight semi finals for Canada at the Olympics.  
 
Either the Dutch or Americans next.  Hopefully there are no Norwegian refs this time.  

So far we have had 10! fourth (or fifth in combat) sport finishes.
 
Rose + Caeli Mckay less than point away from bronze in their events after suffering a badly sprained ankle. Couldn't ask for more.
4 NR's in swimming (100m free, 400m free, 4x200 relay and 4x100 m relay men). They did their best and really no room for improvement at the time.
Caroline Veyre gave it her all and won some points, she wasn't expected to beat her Italian opponent anyways. 
Shady El Nahas fought hard in the bronze medal match against 2 time defending WC Fonseca of Portugal
Kai Langerfeld and Conlin McCabe had a great pairs race, and werent' expected to medal, so their medal was remarkable.
 
The only one that is hard to take is Arthur Margelidon's performance. He made a small mistake costing him the medal
 
 
Yea, I would have liked more medals, but the end of the day these are ALL remarkable performances, which we should ultimately be happy with 

“Six weeks ago I was told I was lucky to be alive, and when they made the team announcements I was literally limping out of the hospital with a broken collarbone,” she said. “I just can’t believe I’m here.”
 
Kasia Gruchalla-Wesierski is a legend.

The fourth places that we have gotten have been incredible performances really

I don't know what it's like on the women's side but the sheer persistence of Gymnastics Canada to try to get Chartier to the Olympics makes me think they have confidence in him being a leader on the men's side. 

Well, great performance from MacLeannan. What a legendary career. Unfortunate that these will be the first Olympics where Canada doesn't win a trampoline medal, I think it's clear that Gymnastics Canada has to develop some new talent.

To then play NZL and lose... they wont medal sadly

I think "watch the gate" and the "ace, ace, ace" song in volleyball are my two favourite sport presentation parts.
