OH MY FUCKING GODD!!!!

OH MY FUCKING GOD!!!!!!

Canada bumps up to 6th in the women's relay due to Swiss getting DQed. 

Wonder how the rain will affect shot put. Already looks like they're having a hard time in the circle. 

Mitchell off to repechage.

We need Motoki and Zare to win today. 

Well, Zare did so Dhesi will go into the repechage.

realistically needs two more gold medals to stay past . They will win another Canoeing gold courtesy of Dame Lisa Carrington, and Lydia Ko is looking like the favourite to win women's golf (I would be reasonably happy with that outcome, medal standing implications asside, she would be a really worthy winner)

Well, two more is doable just today, but I'm not counting chickens. I'm not really concerned with beating NZ honestly. If Canada exceeds their non-boycotted records in total and golds I will be very, very happy. I saw anywhere from 20/5 to 30/10, and they're right in there now. That's pretty impressive considering some of the disappointments we've had.

I know @Joshis excited!!!

 

 

Hey, if it gets us a gold, I'll love it forever. 

Genest loses her race. Off to the repechage. 

Mitchell wins her race, goes on to the 1/16. 

Mitchell and Genest qualify for the sprint in 10th and 12th, respectively.

Canada now falls behind New Zealand on the medal table

I don't think that'll last past today. A silver in beach volleyball puts us back ahead of them, and that's "worst case scenario". 

Bronze. Expecting at least silver, but bronze is good.

 The Brazilian team is 3-1 all-time against Humana-Paredes and Wilkerson, but the Canadians won the last meeting in March.

Canada held the 3-1 lead in the all-time series against the Swiss heading into the semis, but the latter team won the most recent meeting earlier this year."

 

***Prayer circle for Mel and Brandie**

I was rooting for the Aussies today, but they came up just short against the Brazilians. Still, the Canadians are playing great so anything is possible. If the Aussies took them that far, the Canadians have it in them to go even farther. 

Damn.

It would be quite fun on social media today if the dream team lost. 

Lyles and Dream Team losing. That'd be a shame...

You missed this 

I only meant that I was disappointed she didn't get gold. I had no doubt she would come back to get bronze.

So now Lyles has Covid. Because he lost? Yeah right. I hate that man’s behavior. What an attention seeker. 

If he does have Covid he's pretty irresponsible to be mingling with all the other athletes. So either Lyles is a liar, or he's an asshole for endangering others. 

Sad for Lebanon, happy for Canada!

Yay Botswana!!!!! 

Had the pleasure of visiting the country a month ago. Beautiful people, animals and landscapes!

Catching up here. Wow,what a comeback by the volleyballers! Last time I checked their were down a set and tied 19-19 in the second one. Great news! 

Also great news about SkylAr! 

Cyclists

Woohoo! 

Skyler out. Another disappointment. 

The Korean gets a mysterious 3 points when the replay clearly shows she did not make contact with the head.
