Well, we didn't have Summer in Tokyo. That's really the difference.
I feel like there was an exceptional amount of surprises this time compared to last, and an exceptional amount of disappointments compared to last.
So, Canada officially ties its best ever non-boycotted gold medal total!
And later today, no matter what happens, Canada will tie its best ever non-boycotted total medal count.
Now let's break those records!
The distances are getting respectable now. Obviously, Mitton could/should have killed it, but it is what it is. We got a gold one way or another. Just wish a surprise wasn't always tainted 10 minutes later.
It's wet for everyone. And it still doesn't explain her first two throws. Whatever, I'm not trying to take her down. I'm just saying, we can't get 10 minutes of celebration in Canada without disappointment.
We're not surprised in Canada. Athletics giveth, athletics taketh away.
When the men won the relay, after I calmed down, I realized that for sure meant Mitton wasn't going to medal.
I've said it before, I'll say it again. Sports Canada needs to invest more in psychologists. Our favourites flame out so often, while those with little expectations on them can perform. It's a constant thing. Not to mention the 4ths.
