    Being on the west coast I opted to just watch the second half of the game. And I just turned it on!!!! Woohooo

    They seemed to pick it up near the end. But who knows really.

    So at the same time that Dunfee won the medal the C2 boat finished 3rd in their heat. I didn’t see the race but that doesn’t bode well.

    Neither did I.

    Absolutely unreal. I was watching without sound and he looked totally out of it.

    There’s our surprise! this is one of my favourite events in the Olympics and so glad Canada got it’s first medal in it. That being said Kelsey Mitchell looks absolutely dynamite and it’s unfortunate she got boxed in. Hopefully she can medal in the sprint.

    I feel like Dhesi’s a rising talent but the American beat the Turkish wrestler so no repechage for Dhesi. He’s 25 and I expect to see him around for awhile.

    Desi does have a decent shot at a repechage match

    I must admit that this was a much better day. Gold for a DeGrasse. Great day 1 for Warner and LePage. New National Record for the Men’s Team Pursuit. New National Record for Lalonde. PB for Lucia Stafford. Final for Gaby Debues Stafford. Things are looking better.

    I appreciate your optimism. I wasn’t feeling particularly good about anything. I just feel like this team is so talented and just crumbling under pressure. We can’t celebrate our wins like a young talent finishing 5th in the hammer throw and the men’s team pursuit team smashing the national record.

    I’m not sure if this is a nothing bronze to her given the sheer attention that’s been on her at these games. But you are correct that this would have meant the world to Ellie and gymnastics Canada. I feel like Canada went in with an extremely strong team across many sports and is just not landing in the competition.

    This seemed like inevitable - too bad for Ellie Black. And ugh another 4th.......I'm not sure I can handle another one..... CBC said Ellie Black has indicated she will stick around to Paris which surprises me.

    Making the bronze medal final in this field is perhaps the biggest reward. We had to beat out some great teams to get there and the US had their sights on the gold. We finished 4th at the last several World Championships.

    Well that was exciting.

    the Canadian men also broke the Team Pursuit National Record!

    I think it just shows the changes in technology and investment of the event. Plus its a relatively new event, its only been a 4km race since after the London Olympics.

    To be fair - I dont think any of the teams were anticipating Germany going out that strong and all the teams that went after them really struggled (Canada, NZL, Australia).

    Canada did just enough to get to the bronze medal round of the women's team pursuit - it's going to be tough to beat the US, but this is a significantly better performance than yesterday.

    I know - i think that announcer was wrong because she repeatedly said that but I only noticed during the mens race.

    I opted to catch up on sleep than watch the full soccer game which may have been a mistake but I am so happy. Luckily the final is at a perfectly decent time! That's a great result for Matt Hughes!

    I looked more into this - the men's and the women's race have the same rules - "The remaining six teams will be ranked by their times in the First Round and will be paired as follows: The two fastest teams ride the final for the bronze medal. The next two fastest teams ride the final for 5th and 6th places. The last two teams ride the final for 7th and 8th places." Which means both the mens and womens team could win bronze - it will be a tough ask but its possible so I'm going with that.
  22. james89
    I may be wrong but my understanding is that the men’s team pursuit you need to finish top 4 for medals. For the women’s you need to finish in the top 4 for Gold or Silver but the second 2 fastest splits will go into the bronze race.
  23. james89
    They can still contend for the bronze medal if they have a solid ride tomorrow - I have a feeling we will see at least one of the bottom 4 teams in that round. EDIT: I just learned the rules are different for women and men re: this.
  24. james89
    I mean I was uncertain that the team pursuit would be contending for a medal - but that ride was a mess. Hope they can hold it together tomorrow.

    That Mongolian wrestler was something else. There was no chance Lappage would have beaten her in a repechage either but the hope would have been alive.
