Disclosure, I can't watch this video right now, but I'll do what everyone does on the internet and assume what it says. This is exactly what needs to happen. Casuals and normies need to be talking about this. It's also why I said if the Canadian men won gold, it would completely distract from the larger problem. Hope it continues.

Although it was a terrible Olympics for Canada, and my two favourite sports (Hockey and Short Track) really didn't work out for us, there were a couple of fun times. -Women's Pursuit team winning gold because while it was not unexpected at all, it was still a great triumph against an amazing adversary. -Dubreuil getting a surprise bronze in speed skating 500m. -Really all of speed skating, Canada and otherwise. -I really want to say Dubois getting gold in short track, but the whole thing was a mess. -The last two ends of the men's curling gold medal game. -Kingsbury getting gold. But it was more relief than excitement, unfortunately. -I really like the luge relay. Canada was not involved, unfortunately, but it's always fun to watch. -Men's freeski big air final was nuts! In all the good ways. That was truly the highest level of competition I've seen in a very long time. -The dog crossing the finish line in cross country, which should have been the meme of the Olympics (not that...other thing).

https://www.cbc.ca/sports/olympics/winter/speed-skating/laurent-dubreuil-funding-crisis-amateur-athletes-canada-9.7104432 I'm glad this is being brought up by lots of people right now. As horrible as Canada's loss was on Sunday, a win would have totally masked all of this.

I was at my neihgbour/colleague's place for the game. We started drinking at 7am, and just carried on. It dulled the pain. Just want to shout out to everyone here on being such great companions to share the Olympics with. The outcome was disappointing, but fun to share it with all of you, nonetheless. Back to work/real life tomorrow. It's always sad when a Games ends, but maybe not so much this time. I just hope the right people look at this and do something.

Perfect ending to Canada's worst WOG in 40 years.

1. Schmidt 2. Taylor Austin 3. Yes

There's so many dynamics that I don't know about, so I can't predict anything like that.

Sharpe said she is not medically cleared to compete. I doubt that will clear by tomorrow.

I think it's probably too early for that right now. Give it a week.

So our best shot at a medal tomorrow is for it to snow really hard and cancel the event? GO WEATHER!

GOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!

GOLD!!!!!!

Jacobs gets 3 in the 9th, 8-6 going to the 10th!

How the TURN TABLES!

I'm not blaming you. I'm just saying I'm done talking about it. We have an awesome gold medal match going on right now.

But anyway, I'm bored of the whole topic.

And the only reason Sweden brought it up is because they were doing so badly they invited a Swedish news crew to film the Canadians to distract from the fact that they were doing so badly. If you put a camera crew there for each team, each team would likely be seen doing it.

Especially when GB was doing the exact same thing.

Off topic, but unless something great happens in halfpipe tomorrow, this is the first time two Canadians did not reach the podium in the same event since 1992.

Jacobs could really gone ahead there. Sigh.

Jacobs had an opportunity to put Maout away there, missed, gave up the force. Still not terrible, but could have been so much better.

It's been rescheduled on the website now. 440am eastern tomorrow.

Ron McLean said this on the broadcast, but it's still on the schedule for today. Then again, they still have Cassie Sharpe on the start list.

Women's halfpipe skiing has been moved to tomorrow. I wonder if that could affect Sharpe's availability.

Silver for Blondin! Maltais in 5th even after falling. Fantastic finish, but what could have been?????
