    Great result for Ellie Black in gymnastics! 5th, just a third of a point off the podium. So close! (though gymnastics is a sport were unknowns rarely win...for some reason).

    There were three close calls on crucial points, all went to Spain. There were no replays so I'm not sure if they were the wrong calls, but one of them was obviously wrong and it was right in front of the ump. Nestor really wasn't happy.

    Well, our guys will go for bronze tomorrow. Some very 'interesting' calls on the court unfortunately. I'm getting pretty sick of Canada being the nice guys always screwed over by the officials because they can. Oh well. Also, our lady cyclists looked really discombobulated today.

    Well, the Canadians looked like crap.

    I'm just watching the tennis feed on the CBC website, but they didn't show any replays (very frustrating). Were there better replays on another stream? Because at least 2 of those looked very...interesting. One of them, unless the ump missed it and just guessed, was a very very suspicious call.

    .I don't have a replay on my feed, but that's three crucial points that were very close with all three going Spain's way. Not saying they were the wrong calls, but man. Can't catch a break.
  7. orangeman
    Alright, alright. Still in this thing. I obviously spoke too soon (happily).
  8. orangeman
    Wow, I'd like to see the replay, but on my computer it looked waaaay in. Ridiculous, right in front of the ump, too.
  9. orangeman
    Well, that was fun. Nestor and Pospisil came out strong, but faltered later on. Still a chance at bronze. EDIT: Okay, they're putting up a fight still.

    The Canadian golfer's caddy is a former hockey player. Because of course.

    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.
  13. orangeman
    Maybe because Nadal just finished his singles match, too? I'm not that familiar with tennis.
  14. orangeman
    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.
  16. orangeman
    Awwww, thanks. Since the Aussies are the biggest rivals to the Americans in the pool, I often root for them, too.
  17. orangeman
    And now Byron (the commentator) just apologized again. You know you're Canadian when you keep saying sorry.
  18. orangeman
    I'd say that's a statement by Canada's women's eights.
  19. orangeman
    Hahahahahaha CBC just formally apologized for this comment.
  20. orangeman
    She's in the 100m free final tomorrow. She qualified 2nd, just 0.01 behind.
  21. orangeman
    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.
  22. orangeman
    Geez, didn't even realize how close Canada was to the Aussies. Half a second. Canada: Swimming powerhouse?
  23. orangeman
    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!
  24. orangeman
    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.
  25. orangeman
    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.
