Our sprinters on both sides are looking good for the French alps. Last year Jalen Doan won gold in the 500m and silver in the 1000m.

Speed skating junior world championships:
Julia Snelgrove won silver medal in women's 500m

Love this ! It’s nice seeing the private sector really providing the funding our athletes need that the government is lacking in 

Good point! I had totally forgot about that. And back in 2022 we still had national threads instead of clubs, so we have surely had a huge increase of replies in club's threads comparing to the old national threads (and the Canadian club was the most active one by far).
 
Nice to see the forum is in a good shape and let's now focus on summer sports with the LA28 qualifications starting very soon

And those were the only two questions I asked as far as I'm concerned. I don't remember putting down any other questions, definitely not.

Yea was able to see on some articles what happened from the post-game presser and yeaaaaaa didn't look like anyone was happy. Even Beijing's didn't seem to have this bad of vibes. Like even after Beijing, David Shoemaker said he was "satisfied" with the performance, and it doesn't look like he said anything along those lines this time.
 
It's nice to see everyone in the country united on an issue though, maybe that'll finally lead to changes. 

Hey everyone , now that the Olympics are over just wanted to make an announcement that I'll be taking a break from posting on Totallympics for the most part, and watching sports. Mentally these games have broke me in so many ways, and I need time to reset. Not sure for how long, at least a week, but I'll be back for the Paralympics.
 
I thought taking time to reflect over the past week and a half, it would make Grondin's silver feel better, it didn't at all. I still think about it all the time and it hurts. Just upset, frustrated, and disappointed that he was a photo finish away from gold... again, and I'd trade half of our medals for the colour to be changed. 
 
Not to mention Canada only won 21 medals, 5-7-9, which is our lowest total since Salt Lake City 2002 with less events, but whatever I got used to it half a week ago... 

I was at my neihgbour/colleague's place for the game. We started drinking at 7am, and just carried on. It dulled the pain. 
 
Just want to shout out to everyone here on being such great companions to share the Olympics with. The outcome was disappointing, but fun to share it with all of you, nonetheless. 
 
Back to work/real life tomorrow. It's always sad when a Games ends, but maybe not so much this time. I just hope the right people look at this and do something. 

Pain. Sums up these Olympics for Canada.

I think a lot of us know the feeling. Feeling rather sad right now. Post-olympic blues coming up

I'm actually going to be sick. I know we shouldn't get too attached, but I'm going to miss these two weeks so much. I can't believe the Olympics are over. 

Zachary Jeggo, 18 year old from Ontario, runs a 46.72sec indoor 400m breaking the Canadian u20 record set in 2013.

Hey guys, just came by to let you know it was tough to see the Hockey final and I guess you are quite disappointed by Canada's overall performances in these Olympics. But huge congrats to @Topicmaster1010 and all users to make this club so active during the Games, it was by far the most active club of the Olympics.
 
Keep up the amazing job and now that the Olympics are over, let's focus on LA28! 

Well… maybe NOW we will get the funding we need from the feds. This is the only positive I can take 

Locked. In. 

Last event of the Games
Hoping for a Canadian miracle

What an Olympics for the Cross-Country skiing team. Excited to follow their progress over the next 4 years!

14th place for Taylor Austin
20th place for Jay Dearborn

At Canada house for the gold medal game! They opened it today for select fans finally 

Sidney Crosby won't be playing today

Fourth place is amazing. I’m sure we will appreciate it more in the following days, but man, it sucks so much right now.

YESSSSSSSS. Lets go
