  1. Another medal for Canada! China and Malaysia were very impressive. IMO, both NKorea and GB were overmarked so I don't think it should have been that close in the end. But it certainly made it exciting. But no medal in Judo and our ladies doubles are out. I don't even want Canada to win their soccer game (easier draw in the quarters if they lose).
  2. I wasn't wishing ill will towards the Norks, but they had to miss a dive completely in order to get the marks they deserved. Malaysia was very good today. The Chinese, like I said, could slip off the platform and still fall gracefully enough to get top marks. The British gave a good showing, too.
  3. Bronze for Canada! (Was expecting silver, though).
  4. So you have the Chinese, who can fall off the board and still get 9's and the North Koreans who apparently can do no wrong. Not much room left on that podium.
  5. Absolutely. Just asked my friend, "Who's judging this? Kim Jung Un?"
  6. Yeah ok. North Korea's divers were totally off sync yet get 9's for synchronization. Canadians are mirror images and get 8.5's.
  7. And then against #1 or #5 for that bronze. The road certainly isn't easy.
  8. Woot! AVF moves on to the quarters. A tough match coming, though.
  9. You'll just have to settle for all those medals in the pool instead.
  10. It's been a pretty good morning so far.
  11. What a thrilling match. Go Canada (almost took down Latvia, too). Hopefully this is just a preview of what will happen with indoor volleyball later today.
  12. Canada beats Brazil in beach volleyball!
  13. Yup. And with two women in the 200 free semis along with Oleksiak, the 200 free relay is looking good, too.
  14. Holy Crap! Simply Amazing! And only .01 off from silver (but I'm not complaining!). This is crazy!
  15. Another medal for Canada! Is this a dream?
  16. Nope. The USA is Canada's shorts (and hat if you think about Alaska).
  17. Yeeeehaw! Another medal! THAT was the Team Canada I was expecting to see all tournament, but they showed up when they had to. Fantastic job, just took it to the Brits. Three days, three medals (so far). I doubt that has ever happened before.
  18. WOOHOO!!!!! That was the best game Canada has played here, and finally looked like the team I've been watching the last year!!!!!!
  19. Expected result with Australia winning. After the last three games I'm not liking Canada's chances at the bronze, though. Don't know if it's nerves or what, but they can't seem to catch a pass. Their offence is so concentrated, no one going wide, while their defence is so strung out and full of holes. This is not the same team I saw at Pan Ams or other tournaments this year.
