Gee, I hope the food wasn't laced with performance enhancing drugs that affected the whole team. Otherwise, they'd have to do an internal investigation that will conclude a mysterious actor dropped the dope in the athlete's food and then cleaned up so good afterwards there is absolutely no evidence of this statistical anomaly, and then WADA will sweep it under the rug after getting an unrelated large sum payment. That'd be awful!

Aaaaaand they both lose to the French. If Canada could stop facing the home team in every single event, that'd be great.

Good news, both Canadians are in the same repechage heat for the sprint. Bad news, only one can move on.

Michelle Russell and Riley Melanson make it to the K1 SF.

And Mitchell off to the repechage. Don't expect a medal in cycling, folks.

She'll go to the repechage.

According to the CBC, Ahmed says he was clipped and there was an appeal. It was denied.

Going to need to have that emoji ready for the rest of the Olympics.

Genest

It's just hilarious. Defending Olympic champ out? Ahmed has a great chance! Oh, he fell. Of course. Not a great week for Canada thus far.

Ahmed Good for Fafard, though.

Tomorrow I will be very busy, at least all morning. Probably best that it's a slow day and for me to step back for a bit. The last two days have been rough (besides Camryn, of course!)

If anyone's interested, Canada is happy with 18 total medals. However, we also have a total 15 4th places so far. That is an astronomical statistic, even for us.

I'm so disappointed about basketball. I'm going to a bbq this Saturday with all Americans and we were all hyped to hopefully watch a Canada vs USA final. Even my American co-worker who's really into basketball came up to my room at lunch to ask wth was going on with Canada (He also ripped the refs for their blatant biased officiating). Ultimately, it came down to the first quarter, but really the first half of the first quarter. Canada only tried 3-pointers the whole time and dug themselves a massive hole they could not get out of. It was a terrible strategy and it was pretty even after that.

Yeah, I saw that. I wonder if they asked for a re-do or something.

At least you win lots of real medals. Canada has 18 total medals and 15 4ths. That's a crazy breakdown.

Yeah, while it's a bit surprising, Rogers did get 5th in Tokyo and the world #1 wasn't here.

In 2014 it was curling and hockey. Also hockey in 2010. And 2002.

M8 and W8 at the 1992 Olympics. (Had to look it up, but was pretty sure).

We needed that Camryn! AMAZING!

GOLD!!!!

Rogers with a huge throw to get back into the lead!

GIGANTIC THROW! (Happy @Josh)

Yeah, Canada played badly but the refs set the precedent early that they weren't allowed to be close to the French while the French were allowed to run them over. Not blaming the refs for the loss, but it was pretty obvious.
