    A little awkward with the announcers and cameras focusing on the Kiwi rider because she's a favourite while the Indian rider obviously got the worst of it and they're barely even mentioning her.

    Gold for Charron. GR. Can't wait to see it in an hour...

    They're finally showing the weightlifting, but they're starting from the beginning. Can't wait to see what happens....

    Maybe they saw "Hockey" and jumped the gun. I think that the CBC is just showing all the Commonwealth channels available. On this channel it doesn't say anything about field hockey but it does list 64kg weightlifting, so it's weird that it's not showing.

    Is it being broadcast on CBC somewhere? I cannot find it. Where it says it's being broadcast I'm getting field hockey.

    Charron is apparently doing very well in weightlifting, but it doesn't seem like it's being broadcast.

    LOL, Canada gets screwed out of a gold in gymnastics on a tie breaker. We will never get another gold. And another 4th! Even though she did well, some would say "better". And a bronze on the horse!

    I'm a bit confused because the announcers said Jarman had less difficulty, but on the results page he's way above in difficulty (6.3 vs 5.9 for Dolci from Canada). If that's the case, it makes sense (although execution is still higher for Jarman which....ok? Whatever you say...).

    Wow, even British announcers are surprised by the Englishman going into first over the Canadian in gymnastics. I don't know enough to say one way or the other.

    Vachon just barely lost gold in weightlifting. Another gold through the fingers. Good performance, nonetheless, for bronze.

    Vachon so close to gold in weightlifting. He had the last lift, just lost it. Went 1kg higher than he needed to for gold, have to wonder if that made a difference. Canada will never win another gold, apparently.

    Watching the cycling crash again, I still have no idea how the Canadian got DSQ for causing the crash. He was way out in front and the crash happened behind him. Looks like golds will be hard to come by again, just like in Beijing last winter.

    Bitterness, but if it was actually done by seeding I think Mitchell would have taken it knowing what she needed to do in the end. Going early probably hurt her. But oh well. See if these ladies can do the same to her in Paris.

    Games Record for Kelsey Mitchell!

    I think their point was why weren't the Canadians working together like the Aussies were. The first Canadian went hard early and then just went off. Kind of a waste. I mean, I get it, I'm just on my sofa watching. But it's just the "killer instinct....to get 4th" that we see so often with Canadian athletes.

    "I don't understand why Canada isn't trying here!" Me, too, cycling announcers. Me too.

    Found the explanation. Guillemette (CAN) DQS for causing the crash. Which, again, I find odd since he was way out in front at the time. I'd have to see a replay, but unfortunately the broadcast left without ever providing one.
  19. orangeman
    One Canadian DNF, he was in the crash and looked injured. The other DSQ, which is confusing because he was in the lead when the crash happened and the race stopped. He's the one that went out with a sprint to get everyone going fast to begin with. I would love an explanation.
  20. orangeman
    That crash looked horrible. Two riders (and bikes) into the crowd. Rider taken off on a stretcher. Canadian rider bloodied and ripped up. Hope everyone is okay.
  21. orangeman
    Damn it. Happy NZ has come out of nowhere to suddenly dominate track cycling! #bitter
  22. orangeman
    The English announcers have been rooting against the Canadians all night. Sort of weird.
  23. orangeman
    Bronze for Canada in weightlifting! (Probably!)
  24. orangeman
    PNG gets away with lifting after the clock had stopped.
  25. orangeman
    Defending Olympic champ, so still very good chance. But Genest missing out is very surprising.
