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.

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

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

Fiji with two teams in the lawn bowls semifinals

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...

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

Third leg of the mixed relay and it's with right behind England with a 16 second lead the other three are essentially equal.

Second leg of the mixed relay and it's with one second behind England with a 27 second lead

After the first leg of the mixed relay triathlon it's . England already has a 20 second lead.

Fiji is in both sevens finals so two medals for them. I'm very impressed with the jump in quality of their women's team. It wasn't that long ago that there were articles where the Fijian general public claimed rugby was a "man's sport" glad the higher ups didn't think so.

Canada Day 2 Review Day 2 saw Canada win seven medals (2 gold, 1 silver, 4 bronze) for a solid day. Here's how we did for each sport. 3x3 Basketball The women's team went 1-1 with a victory against the British Virgin Islands, but a loss to New Zealand. It looks like New Zealand's team is a lot better than expected. While not required, beating England tomorrow will be very helpful if we want to have a chance at medalling. Both our wheelchair teams have booked a spot to the semifinals. Athletics The marathons were today, but we only competed in the men's T54 marathon where Cassidy finished fourth, we'll see him again on the track in the T54 1500m. Badminton Our mixed team won our matches against Maldives and Scotland to finish top of the group. We will now play England in the quarterfinals. Not sure how I feel about this, but if we are to win a medal we would have to defeat England at some point whether here or in the third place match. Beach Volleyball Pavan/Melissa won their match against the Ghanaian duo. They will face off against Kenya's team on Monday. Cycling We won a silver in the women's sprint. This was one of our gold medal chances going into the game, but New Zealand's Andrews seems to be having the meet of her life. The individual pursuit were outclassed and none of the men's keirin riders were able to reach the semis which was a bit disappointing. Field Hockey Canada's men lost to Wales 5-1. Not a good performance by them, even if this is a rebuilding type of squad. Gymnastics Despite fielding a weaker team, Canada was still able to win bronze in the women's artistic team event. We were also able to qualify athletes into all of the individual events with Denommee ranked second on the vault and Lee and Spence finishing second and third on the floor. Lawn Bowls Horrible day for our lawn bowls team as they went a combined 0-5 against the competition. They have all been eliminated from contention and will not reach the quarterfinals. Rugby Sevens Canada was able to reach the elimination rounds thanks to winning their final group game. Sadly, they both lost their next match. The men lost to South Africa and will now play for 5th place. The women's lost to Fiji, but will get a chance to win bronze. They just have to defeat New Zealand, a not so easy task. Squash A great day as all four of our players won their round of 32 match. The next round will be very tough. On the men's side Baillargeon will face the number 3 seed from India while Sachvie will face the number 5 seed from Malaysia. Bunyan will face off against Kennedy from England while Naughton will face off against Azman from Malaysia Swimming Great day at the pool as Canada won four medals, two gold in the men's S13 50m freestyle and the women's 100m butterfly. Additionally, our 4x100m freestyle relays won a bronze medal each. In the women's 100m backstroke semis both Masse and Harvey were able to qualify to the finals in 1st and 6th respectively. Table Tennis Both teams qualified to the quarterfinals. Sadly, the women lost to Australia later in the day. The men will go up against Singapore tomorrow. Weightlifting Opening day of weightlifting saw three of our athletes compete and end up with 1 bronze and 2 fourth place finished. Not a bad day, even though the fourth place finishes hurt. Our better athletes have yet to compete.
