    Yeah.....I think Canada will be lucky to get bronze in rugby. They played slightly better today against a better team, but that's not saying much after how terribly they played yesterday. They will likely face GB for bronze, who destroyed them yesterday. They can't seem to catch a pass. Maybe they eat buttery popcorn before each match? Sorry juddy, I don't know why my reply quoted you, and I can't get rid of it even by reloading the page.

    But...what about Canada We're G7, you know. Because we have friends in high places (USA).

    Actually, since it all depends on placings within your heat, changing conditions don't really matter. If it's choppy, it's choppy for everyone in your heat.

    Oh, how far Canadian rowing has fallen. The geniuses in charge decided to break our successful men's 8s apart for more chances at medals. Great idea guys!

    As a Canadian whose team would have had to face the Williams sisters in the next round, a big THANK YOU to the Czech duo.

    We also got lucky that the Czech pair in women's tennis beat the Williams sisters, since that would have been Bouchard/Dabrowski's next match. Still tough, but not nearly as much. Also nice to see the Murray bros got eliminated by the Brazilians, since they're on the same side of the bracket as the Canadians.

    Just had a look and discovered: In 2012, Canada made 7 finals in the pool. 2 medals, 4 top-5's. In 2016, after just 2 days (including finals being held tomorrow) Canada has already qualified for 7 finals in the pool. 2 medals, 4 top-5's. Also, Oleksiak is the first Canadian to win multiple medals at a SOG since van Koeverden in 2004. And I think she has three more races to go!

    Just glancing at the schedule, we have rugby semis and medals and some swimmers in finals already. Then there's basketball, and if rowing is a go we have some crews there. Bouchard in tennis. And who knows what other heros will emerge in other events

    Thank you for the encouragement. It means a lot from an Aussie, haha.

    Welcome! Yes, Canadian women (and some men!) are doing very well in the pool. The best part is most of them are still in high school, so the future is looking bright for our program after decades of despair.

    Yes, just for the summer. Then to China. I was going to return a week ago, but decided the time zone was better here for the Olympics so I pushed some things back. haha.

    Oleksiak. A star is born. She's only 16! I'm on a GO Train and probably looked like a madman during that race.

    Oh my god! Another swimming medal!
  14. orangeman
    Holy Moly! Complete domination. Beating the USA is as good as gold for us Canadians.
  15. orangeman
    Canada!
  16. orangeman
    Phew. Close one in rugby. But job done. Canada also doing well against the evil Americans in volleyball.
  17. orangeman
    Really disappointed in diving. I actually expected them to get silver, maybe even challenge for gold if the Chinese were off their game (they were not).
  18. orangeman
    Disappointment. I really expected a medal here. Fourth, Canada's favourite position. Huge disappointment for Canada.
  19. orangeman
    Pam can't seem to keep up with Jenn.
  20. orangeman
    Our Canadian has already beaten the 3rd and 4th seeds today.
  21. orangeman
    Maybe
  22. orangeman
    Yeah, honestly maybe that's what they were going for (the side with Aus instead of NZ). But there's also a very good chance that they play GB for bronze again. And judging by this afternoon, that's not going to be pretty. Go Fiji!
  23. orangeman
    Well, step one complete!
  24. orangeman
    If Canada's game against GB in rugby just now is any indication, I seriously doubt their ability to get a medal. That was one of, if not the worst game, I've seen any team play here. In other games a weak team is outmatched. But here, Canada was just terrible. Hope they get it together to at least get to the semis.
  25. orangeman
    Seriously....Brazil and Japan played better against Canada than Canada is playing against GB. Judging from this game, I'd say our hopes for a medal are dashed.
