Penny Oleksiak!!!!!!
 
This medal ties her as Canada's most successful Olympian (summer/winter)!!!!!!!
 
See y'all in the 4x200 relay, Penny is BACK BABY!!!

Adam Kreek did a podcast where he interviewed all the different crews - the one with Smith/Sevick was the most fascinating one. They worked really well together but there was definitely some underlying issues and had to switch coaches like 2 or 3 months ago.

Individual rankings... plus both have matches right before the mixed doubles match so they will be tired.

This is so off brand for Canada given how bad we've historically been at team sports xD
 
Canada has definitively been the third best softball team in the world over the past few years. This is a very deserved result.

Not sure if reported but out due to blood in the horses mouth (auto dq)

Two medals in day 3 along with our first gold. Day 4 may also be another good looking day for us with medal chances in baseball/softball (women's softball), diving (women's synchronized 10m platform), judo (men's -81kg, women's -63kg), swimming (women's 100m backstroke) and weightlifting (women's -64kg).

I think that is the best draw for Canada, there is a realistic chance of a win! Hoping for the best, a win would guarantee a best ever result in fencing for Canada.

considering the current surprising results rate in fencing, there's truly a chance for CAN...and it would be nice...

I hope that Margedolin will take the bronze too 

First boxing victory for Canada as Caroline Veyre wins over Croatia. 

Wow the semifinals in the women's 57 kg is the top 4 seeds!
