Summer Mcintosh with a  4:29.12 in the 400 im at a test event in Toronto for the Canadian Trials!!!
 
Almost 3 seconds faster than the winning time in Tokyo. Insane, she is only 15.

Congratulations to my Polish friends here!  @Monzanator @rafalgorka @rybak @Adriano
I liked Poland in 2018 and was disappointed, hopefully this time you can do better 
 
 
Also I meant to say a few days ago, congratulations to my  Canadian friends as well  @NearPup @intoronto @JoshMartini007

John Herdman is the first coach to lead a men’s and women’s national team to FIFA World Cup Qualification. Fun fact!

After 36 years, Canada is going to the World Cup!!! UNREAL!!!

No comment on what happened today in Košice
 
We played the delayed power play, so instead of the goalie we fielded a 6th skater
 
(for the non familiar with ice hockey rules - when a foul penality is signaled the play can continue if the fouled team has the puck posession at that time, it is called delayed power-play and the play can continue until the moment when any player of the opponent team will touch the puck, then the play will be stopped and the power-play will start. All fouled teams in this situation play with empty net, since it is logically impossible to conceed a goal as any puck touch of the opponent team will stop the play)
 
but we somehow managed to score a own goal to our own empty net ...
 
4th match of the quarterfinal serie between HC Košice and Dukla Michalovce, this goal completely destroyed our match we lost 2-6 and are leading the series now 3-1
 
here the Colton Saucerman unbelievable delayed power-play own goal

All loses and no goals.
 
Canada is the only country to also host a FIFA event and not score a goal (iirc). Very bad luck on the men's side. Hoping for at least 3 points this time around

Yes, but Costa Rica has to beat them by 6 goals.  
 

Argentina defeat Puerto Rico for 6-3 in the final and is the unbeaten Latin American Champion.

Not as amusing as Canada being the only nation to win men’s and women’s Olympic gold in football (just, please, don’t look too deeply into how we won gold in men’s football)
