  1. Canada holds on against Scotland to win bronze in men's 3x3.
  2. One thing that holds cricket back is the stadium requirements. The field of play is massive so unless you already have one you'll have to build one, you can't convert a football stadium into a cricket field.
  3. Canada Day 4 Review Day 4 saw Canada win 15 medals (3 gold, 5 silver, 7 bronze) for a great day. Here's how we did for each sport. 3x3 Basketball Almost a perfect day for us as the women and both wheelchair teams booked their spot to the finals. The women will face against England while the wheelchair teams will have a double header against Australia. The men's team lost to England in the semis and will play for bronze against Scotland. Beach Volleyball Pavan/Melissa won their match against Kenya without any trouble. They will play their final group stage match against New Zealand on Wednesday in hopes of finishing in top spot. Boxing Canada had two boxers competing today with both of them winning their respective bouts. Beausejour won his round of 16 match against Barbados in the men's light heavyweight and will face a boxer from Scotland. Al-Ahmadieh won his round of 16 match against Australia in the men's featherweight and will face a boxer from Guyana in the quarterfinals. All of our boxers are now in the quarterfinals and are one win away from winning at least bronze. Cycling Kelsey Mitchell finished her games with a fourth medal, a bronze in the women's keirin. We also won a second bronze medal in the women's scratch via Maggie Coles-Lyster. Overall, I was expecting a little bit more from our track cycling team, but New Zealand really did a number in denying us gold medals. Field Hockey In an embarrassing fashion, we were seconds away from losing to Ghana, but we scored a late goal to tie things up 1-1. Our next opponent will be India on Wednesday. Gymnastics Canada won two silver and two bronze across the five apparatus finals held today. We were quite close at grabbing a gold medal, but it was not to be. Despite a relatively weaker team in artistic gymnastics we may not end up too far from the medal total from 2018. Of course, the lack of gold medals will be a bit glaring. Judo I was hoping for two golds, but we managed a gold and silver thanks to the Deguchi sisters. I have high expectations of our judo team so hopefully everyone can pull through. Squash Holly Naughton pulled off the upset and will now compete in the semifinals of the women's singles. The downside is the other three players are the top 3 seeds of the tournament so my expectation for a shock medal is being kept in check. Still I wish her good luck in her next two matches. Swimming We won four medals today with McIntosh winning gold in the women's 200m IM, Masse winning silver in the women's 200m back, Acevedo picking up a bronze in the 50m back and Berube winning bronze in the women's 100m SB6 breaststroke. Additionally, Smith and Savard have qualified to the women's 100m free finals and Liendo and Knox have qualified to the men's 100m butterfly finals. Weightlifting A perfect day for Canada as all three of our competing athletes won a medal, including a gold via Charron in the women's -64kg. We have now won more medals relative to 2018 and we still have six more athletes remaining to compete.
  4. Canada stuck in lane 8 in the 4x200m freestyle because we don't have an official time
  5. Liendo went too strong in the men's 100m free and faded
  6. Australia made a good comeback against in the women's singles lawn bowls final
  7. Half the field lapped the other in the points race
  8. 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.
  9. 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
  10. Charon with a 1kg lead in the women's -64kg weightlifting going into the clean & jerk
  11. silver in the women's vault, bronze in the men's pommel horse
  12. in the women's singles lawn bowls finals. to play for bronze.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. and into the women's singles lawn bowls semifinals so at least one of them will win a medal.
  16. A lot of mind games going on in the men's -73kg weightlifting at least six people with bronze medal chances are changing weights
  17. Fiji with two teams in the lawn bowls semifinals
  18. Potential drama for the bronze medal in the men's sprint?
  19. The final Australian takes the gold, Mitchell with a third silver.
