  1. Anyway, on to further disappointments in athletics... haha
  2. I don't know if it would surpass 2010 hockey (womens and mens) because that was on home soil and our sport. But this win is already top-5 Canadian Olympic moment. Young 'uns here will forget that for years CBC used to play Grey Joy's 1976 silver medal in the high jump to close their daily broadcast (that used to be a thing) for years and years. It wasn't until the 90s that gold medals got more common, Bailey's 100m gold in 1996 is also top-5 for sure along with the 4x100 gold that same year. I remember watching in disbelief.
  3. The emotion I had in 2012 in that game, watching with my sister who was a soccer player (not at that level). Watching Sinclair dominate and it being robbed by a corrupt ref was so heartbreaking and infuriating. I was so proud when they turned it around and took the bronze.
  4. Let me guess, Russia will win gold, China silver and Ukraine bronze (Japan might sneak in there!) for both the duet and team. This shouldn't be an Olympic event, not because it's not a sport but because the medals are decided before anyone hits the water.
  5. I wouldnt say no way they deserved it. It was pretty even in the 1st, US was the better team in the 2nd but not by much. I wouldn't say the US "deserved" to win. Maybe 60~40 them in the end, but still only one dangerous chance.
  6. CANADA WINS! Simply amazing. Fantastic. I've been waiting for this moment since it was stolen from us in 2012. First win against the US since 2001. WOW WOW WOW WOW
  7. Canada looking okay against the US. Neither team looking great, though.
  8. Yeah, my understanding is top 4 go for medals. Canada will still race to improve their standing, but no chance at a medal.
  9. I had my doubts after Italy and Germany, but Aus left the door open for a top 4. They were doing great till the last 2 laps. Oh well. On to soccer.
  10. Massive disappointment by the Canadians. Top 4 would have been tough after Germany's time, but Aus left the door open. Unfortunately the Canadians imploded on the last few laps. Medal favorites to last place.
  11. Another Canadian "medal threat" finishes last....in qualifying.
  12. That whole situation is a joke. They cheated at the highest level across the board and their punishment is....they can't use their flag and have to slightly change their name. If it was Uganda or Mongolia they'd be banned. Idk if any of their athletes are doping here, but history and the complete lack of consequences suggest that it's likely. Of course Italy just had a sprinter who barely ever got under 10 seconds win the gold medal suddenly, so I'm not saying only one country has suspicious results.
  13. And only 4 total wrestlers to begin with.
  14. Lappage lost her opening match. Both W K1 200 through to the semis.
  15. Finally a medal for a man in Tokyo.
  16. PB for de Grasse to repeat his bronze medal! What a last 50!
  17. Arop finishes last in his heat, Lovett about to go out in high jump.
  18. Surprising last semi final. We'll see how that affects their final.
  19. De Grasse into the final after a long delay. But he didn't look as good as he did yesterday.
