Canada too, but I doubt anybody will notice.

Sure, but mixed curling is it's own thing with it's own world championship. It's distinct from mixed doubles.

*mixed doubles Feel free to also add mixed curling to have bigger diversity, too And believe me, Curling Canada is as surprised at that than anybody else.

Ledecka's outfit is quite... unique.

You have to understand that for the average Canadian, the winter Olympics is a hockey tournament first, a curling tournament second and a bunch of other stuff attached to it third. So on paper these where good Olympics but I doubt that's what the average Canadian is going to take away. Also worth remembering that if you remove the events added since Sochi we have less golds than in Sochi, and that if you remove the events added since Vancouver we have only 7 gold medals. So in a very real sense our performance is getting worse and being propped up by the events that are being added.

Hey, that's what happened last time a Canadian sprinted to finish behind two Russians

You know, if you told me before the games that Canada would have the same result in mens' curling and men's cross country skiing I would have been really happy for Alex Harvey.

Harvey finishes his Olympic career without a medal The sad thing is, his achievements will be completely ignored in Canada because the Olympics is the only time cross country skiing gets any TV time.

A lot of people on social media are wondering why the red course was so unfair xD This is so stupid, they probably made the change for the "casual" viewers but they just made it more confusing for them.

Sure looks like Alex Harvey will finish his career with no Olympic medal

Quote from Jasey-Jan Anderson about course conditions during qualifying: "you see people on TV with rakes, they should be using them instead of just standing on them" xD

What's up with the Canadian sleds? They bleed time at the bottom in the women's race and it seems to be even worse in the four man.

It got closer than expected to the host nation winning this event three times in a row.

Only one sport at Tokyo? That’s going to be too easy.

What’s the next sport Ledecka wants to win Olympic gold in?

First ever Olympic medal in a snow sport for O.o

...that I disagree with. At least they got to compete for lane choice. But it’s pretty bad.

Canadian comentators: “if one course is faster than the other why aren’t there two runs?” Good question guys.

Anyone care to explain this aweful one run format? The red course is clearly much faster.

I don't know how to feel about it either. They should just have a timed qualification race where everyone at least gets to touch snow ...I do know how I feel about athletics and swimming relay only having the athletes who raced in the finals on the podium: that's complete BS and needs to be changed.

They sure would! Just need to list them as an alternate (max is two alternates). Isn't it just great how consistent the rules are re: who gets medals and who is allowed to stand on the podium (lol @ swimming and athletics where some of the medal winning athletes aren't allowed to be on the podium) from sport to sport?

Lol, Switzerland could have handed someone a free gold medal (they only had one alternate).

Too bad, I actually think Canada had a good shot at a medal. Too bad we had the seeding has no relation to the actual team event...

At least he already has a medal. Really happy for Seb, him bring the third best Canadian really shows the depth we had in this event.

IKR, NI isn’t very strong in alpine.
