  1. This result will be controversial no matter who wins.
  2. I listed to a lot of X Japan in high school xD
  3. Irie using X Japan's Kurenai as her walk-on music <3
  4. Given how Canada has been playing I wouldn’t expect this to be an entertaining game, but no matter what the outcome will be pretty good :P
  5. This new basketball format is... bad.
  6. Obviously I want Canada to win gold, but Sweden was my third favourite going in (after Canada and Brazil) so if it isn't meant to be I'll at least be happy for Sweden.
  7. There are obviously way too many events in athletics. I think we should cut the 10000m and the 1500m because they are basically just the same event.
  8. No. Extra long light show for the best event in the Olympics.
  9. Come on, the Steeplechase deserves that crazy light show intro
  10. Whatever you think about the rules, Hubbard did nothing wrong. She followed all the rules as they exist. If you disagree with those rules your ire should not be towards her.
  11. Did he keep his shoes on? I think he kept his shoes on!
  12. I posted something entirely irrelevant that was meant to be in the Athletics thread (a comment about 's kit)
  13. I am sure NOS is taking this situation very rationally.
  14. Honestly the people that don't get just how fraught and nuanced the situation is annoy me. Defining gender for sporting purposes is legitimately difficult, and gender more generally is messy at the edges.
  15. To me winning this gold medal would be the greatest moment in the history of Canada at the Olympics, even higher than the hockey golds in 2002 and 2010. I'd only rank the Summit Series higher because of the political context and because there isn't a ton of built up animosity between the Canadian and Australian or Swedish teams. I had a gold medal in a team sport as my biggest dream before these Olympics, and it feels so close now.
  16. This is, at worse, the best team sport result for Canada at the summer Olympics since 1936.
  17. No bronze in football this time! Worts case scenario this is the best team sport result for Canada since 1936(!!!).
  18. First time we beat the in 20 years. None of these women (+ Quinn) had ever beaten the US. This is the best result in any summer Olympic team sport for Canada since 1936. Canada is going for it’s first summer team sport gold in 101 years, 121 years if you don’t count ice hockey’s summer Olympic appearance. No way we deserved to win this particular match but it still feels like we were way overdue to get a break against the Americans in this sport.
  19. Who's brilliant idea was it to have different formats for men's and women's team pursuit?
