A great sign for this sport is that five continents were represented in both semis (Europe, Africa, Oceania, North America and Asia). And Argentina isn't too far back, either. Much better global diversity than many other team sports.
-
No. No rest for Nadal. Don't even allow him to sit down.
-
Maybe because Nadal just finished his singles match, too? I'm not that familiar with tennis.
-
Apparently Nestor/Pospsil semi in tennis is scheduled for 2:15pm EST.

I took a 5 week trip up the East coast of Australia a few years ago in a camper van. Beautiful country, lovely people. A bit expensive, though. Had so much fun, though.
-
Awwww, thanks. Since the Aussies are the biggest rivals to the Americans in the pool, I often root for them, too.
-
And now Byron (the commentator) just apologized again. You know you're Canadian when you keep saying sorry.
-
I'd say that's a statement by Canada's women's eights.
-
Hahahahahaha CBC just formally apologized for this comment.
-
She's in the 100m free final tomorrow. She qualified 2nd, just 0.01 behind.
-
Canada earned 4 swimming medals (in the pool) in the last 4 Olympics. They have 4 so far here in Rio. So my apologies to everyone else for us Canucks gushing all over this forum. We're really just amazed.
-
Geez, didn't even realize how close Canada was to the Aussies. Half a second. Canada: Swimming powerhouse?
-
Ruck! And holy moly, Oleksiak might have gotten another medal in the 200m free if she would have raced it. But I'm certainly not complaining!
-
Another day, another medal for Canada! What a thrilling race. They all did so well, but Oleksiak is a star. And she's not even done yet. The IM relay is also going to be very interesting.
-
Haha, I don't think Byron McDonald (our commentator) realized he was still on air. "That Chinese swimmer went out like a rocket and sank like a pig. Thanks for that!" EDIT: Sorry, Byron, not Brian.
-
OH MY GOD SOMEONE PINCH ME!!!!!!!!
-
For so long just getting into a final was nail biting for Canada. In 2016 it's almost expected, and we save the nail biting for medals. Unbelievable improvement. And the best part is that the team is very young.
-
Yes, but Canadian swimmers always disappear at the Olympics. But obviously not this year.
-
But still, if someone told me a week ago that Santo was going to finish 4th I would have laughed and laughed. Great swim.
-
Damn....fourth....
-
Not much. But he did have something to say about doping.
-
We get an interview with Donovan Bailey on CBC. I'll take that. I could watch his 1996 races on a loop for hours.
-
From your lips (keyboard?) to god's ears.
-
Oleksiak! She's only 16. Man, the future's so bright, I gotta wear shades.
-
Yeah, the IOC got it right this time.
