Charron just needs to make a lift...

Canada is in the semifinals in women's singles squash. Naughton defeated fourth seed player from India. It'll be very tough to win a medal though.

Is it being broadcast on CBC somewhere?  I cannot find it.  Where it says it's being broadcast I'm getting field hockey.  

It isn't, I'm just following the result site.

It'll likely be "live" later. Such disrespect to what should be a predictable gold medal. Maybe they should have had more channels and if there wasn't anything to show just have it mirror the other channels

Looks like golds will be hard to come by again, just like in Beijing last winter.  

That's nothing new for Canada. I'm expecting India to win more golds again, but with New Zealand's performance in cycling there's a good chance they may finish with more golds than us too.

Canada Day 3 Review

Day 3 saw Canada win seven medals (0 gold, 3 silver, 4 bronze) for another decent day. Here's how we did for each sport.

3x3 Basketball

The men won their match against Sri Lanka to finish second. They will face New Zealand in the quarterfinals. The women lost to England to finish third and will face Scotland in the quarterfinals. The wheelchair women won against England and will face Scotland in the semifinals while the opponent for the wheelchair men has been revealed to be Malaysia. Overall everyone is still in it.

Badminton

The mixed team has been eliminated by England in the quarterfinals. The focus now shifts to the individual matches starting in a few days.

Beach Volleyball

The men kick-off their tournament with a victory against Sri Lanka. They next face against St. Kitts and Nevis on Tuesday.

Boxing

Only one Canadian was in action today, Sanford defeated Lesotho's Mohlerepe in the light welterweight round of 16. His quarterfinal opponent will be against Uganda's Tukamuhebwa who already has victories against Norther Ireland and Australia.

Cycling

Canada won silver in the women's 500m time trial. I feel the day was a bit of a let down. Mitchell set a Commonwealth Record in the 500m time trial and led for almost the entire event until the final rider. We also had a great opportunity to win a medal in the women's points race, but finished fourth.

Field Hockey

Canada lost to England 1-0. This was a great performance by the team, but a loss is a loss. This does give me hope for a potential semifinal appearance if we can pull off the upset against India. Our next opponent will be Ghana on Tuesday.

Gymnastics

We won a bronze medal in the women's artistic individual all-around. The very poor performance on the pommel horse from Dolci essentially cost him a medal as he barely finished fourth. He'll have a few more chances to win medals in the apparatus finals.

Lawn Bowls

Our men's pair won their final match against Niue, but sadly it wasn't enough to qualify to the quarterfinals. All of our teams currently in play failed to qualify to the quarterfinals. We'll see if the second half of our teams can fare better in the coming days.

Rugby Sevens

The men's team lost the 5th-8th place semifinal to Samoa (19-17) while the women lost the bronze medal match to New Zealand (19-12). I wasn't expecting a medal, but it still hurts losing the bronze medal match.

Squash

Our four have been cut to one as only Naughton won her round of 16 match. She now faces fourth seed Chinappa of India in the quarterfinals.

Swimming

We won two silvers thanks to Masse in the women's 100m backstroke and the women's 4x200m freestyle relay team. It was a shame Masse couldn't win gold, but Mckeown is quite strong. We also had some good performances in other events with Acevedo (men's 50m back), MacNeil and Savard (women's 50m fly) and Gaziev and Liendo (men's 100m free) all reached the finals.

Table Tennis

Our men's team lost to Singapore in the quarterfinals and have been eliminated. This concludes Canada's bid for a team medal. Next up will be the singles and doubles tournaments.

Triathlon

Canada won a bronze medal in the women's PTVI event. I was hoping we would have been a bit more competitive in the mixed relay, but we were out of it by the end of the first leg.

Weightlifting

Canada won two bronze medals today making it a perfect day among the athletes that competed. Our top weighlifters are set to compete soon so hopefully we'll upgrade some of our bronzes to gold/silver.

and into the women's singles lawn bowls semifinals so at least one of them will win a medal.

A lot of mind games going on in the men's -73kg weightlifting at least six people with bronze medal chances are changing weights

Potential drama for the bronze medal in the men's sprint?

The final Australian takes the gold, Mitchell with a third silver.

Mitchell still in the lead in the women's 500m time trial, but the Australian gauntlet remains. Can she survive?

Why did Mitchell start so early in the women's 500m time trial?

She set a Commonwealth Games record!!!

Hopefully that's enough...

"I don't understand why Canada isn't trying here!"

 

Me, too, cycling announcers.  Me too.  

Gotta get that fourth...

Though realistically, I don't think she had it in her to reach the lead group

Easy gold for England in the mixed relay. Wales holds on for the upset silver medal over Australia
