No I just pay to use their services.

At least they're spending all the fees they're charging me on something good.

Bronze! Was hoping for more but Ill take it.

2 Canadians in the Kierin final!

Lepage's PBs on javelin and 1500 are better than Maloney and would cover the gap, but we'll see what happens. Obviously Mayer's PBs are much better than both of them, but he's not performing at his peak. He's still so close it'd be a surprise if he doesn't pass both of them. Edit: Forgot about Scantling. He's got a much better javelin PB, but it's from 5 years ago. If he got up there it'd put him in the conversation, but his 1500 is slower, too.

Not taking anything for granted with Warner, but I'm more concerned about Lepage holding onto a medal now.

Silver for LVL!

Silver!!!

Thanks Japan!

De Grasse with a an amazing last leg in the relay! Qualify 3rd, looking good! No USA in the final!

Great final leg by de Grasse! No USA???!!!

One diving medal is a big disappointment. But we're used to that by now. Thank goodness for our swimmers and de Grasse.

Benfeito.... Just needed 57 points on her last dive and she blew it. Wow.

Benfeito will not make the final.... Kind of hilarious, she worked her way up to 12th, everyone around her in the standings had bad last dives, yet she found a way to be even worse than them.

Both Canadian women move on in canoe, but unless they were holding back I don't know about medals.

Tomorrow could be a big day for Canada. Andre's got me all hyped up now!

Oh man what a race!

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Warner and Lepage looking good after Day 1.

Is Lapage injured?

The could have a digital kraken emerging from the water hazard. It would be lots of fun.

Lepage ends my heart attack and clears 1.99

Damn, Lucia just outside the final. Too bad we can't get the sisters both in there.

Just sad. They did it to themselves. Total collapse.

I thought there were more, but off the top of my head I can list 11 fourth place finishes by Canadians thus far (and +4 where at least a bronze would have been guaranteed). This isn't to attack these athletes (that's why I've left their names off). But this is a continuing issue for Canada at the Olympics. Much has been made of the 4th/5th place finishes over the last 20 years. At this point we have to accept there's some psychology involved. But hey, at least they're not world champions who can't even get out of the quarters. Or ranked third in the world who can't even get to the quarters.
