  1. Looking at numbers, Boady will need a significant PB in the next round to make the podium. His PB is 210, but it'll likely take high teens at least to make it up there.
  2. Boady into the lead after the snatch! Edit: Spoke too soon, there's one more lifter... Edit2: BOADY INTO THE LEAD AFTER THE SNATCH!
  3. De Grasse matching his PB with a nice jog the last 20m.
  4. De Grasse ties his PB without even trying, it looked like. He looked over and slowed down towards the end.
  5. They need some PR people, because I was thoroughly entertained watching it the other night as I said. I thought it was like high jump where weights keep going up and the competitors lift it to move on. But no, they only get the three lifts and it's so strategic and suspenseful. Really cool.
  6. Too much doping, I guess. But also not one of the sexy events, even if it's truly Faster Higher Stronger. It's also an event that has athletes from areas that aren't as represented at the Olympics, particularly Central and SE Asia.
  7. Really looking forward to tuning in to see Santavy in an hour. I watched weightlifting the other night for the first time to see Charron win gold and I found the whole thing very captivating. Not at all what I expected. Full of drama and strategy and emotions. Super entertaining.
  8. Shocking ending for Ware. Even with the miss on round 4, she just needed to land on her head in round 5 to make the final. On the flip side, as James said, Abel looked great, only 5 pts behind the 2nd Chinese diver. Top 3 looked much better than everyone else.
  9. Kind of weird that Rio was a surprise performance by Canada's swim team while this time we expected medals and they could end up with less, or at best the same. But really it was mostly Oleksiak in 2016 while this time it's more spread out. Just wish the mens side would develop more.
  10. Hayden misses 50 final by .04. Was hoping he'd be there just to give all us old guys hope.
  11. Masse, (Pickrem?), MacNeil and Oleksiak are going to be a treat tomorrow in the relay.
  12. Kylie Masse with another silver! Great race, going out strong. Can't wait to see her again in the relay tomorrow with MacNeil and Oleksiak!
  13. The whole rugby 7s situation is bizarre.
  14. Not unheard of, but losing so badly to them and then to France to miss the quarterfinals is unacceptable. They're basically ranked 3rd.
  15. Canadian women qualify the relay first, men sneak in 8th for theirs. Good news for both.
  16. Damn, thought Mo had that for a minute.
  17. Bakers you have 5 minutes left! Bakers you have 5 minutes left! Bakers you have 5 minutes left! Bakers you have 5 minutes left! Bakers you have 5 minutes left! Bakers you have 5 minutes left! Bakers you have 5 minutes left! Bakers you have 5 minutes left! I want to murder everyone involved in that commercial.
  18. Six throws by the Canadians in shot put, 5 fouls.
  19. It says three misses and No Mark.
  20. Wait, what happened to Crew in the shotput?
