  1. I don't think it's doom and gloom. I think Canada as a whole is doing great and there are several exceptional memories made here so far. It's just the amount of 4ths again. It is mind boggling, and a uniquely Canadian phenomenon. Like you said, there are still lots of chances and excitement to come.
  2. Tomorrow is also pretty slow for Canada medal-wise with Rogers in the hammer the only good shot (though it's also a good shot at gold). McKay could surprise in diving, too. But there's some big races in canoe/kayak and athletics, as well as Canada's quarterfinal basketball game.
  3. They're still in beach volleyball. They still have chances in canoe/kayak, breaking, basketball, track cycling, taekwondo, weightlifting and maybe wrestling along with a few in athletics. I'd bet that they beat 24 total, but I'm not sure they can outdo the 7 golds. If half their 4ths came through Canada would already have 24. And they'd still be 3rd for total 4ths!
  4. Total medals: 17 Total 4ths: 12 That is insane. I don't know why it surprises me every single Olympics.
  5. Like many other losses here, they had this win and decided to throw balls out of bounds and foul instead of playing basketball.
  6. Sigh. First day without a medal. Most frustrating team I've ever watched.
  7. Every single time they get the ball they throw it out of bounds. It's ridiculous.
  8. Rodney and Brown the 2 fastest non-qualifiers who would have made it in other heats. Of course.
  9. Rodney would have made it through in the other heats (would have won the last one). Just a fast heat.
  10. They just seem to panic when it's close and start missing easy shots/take impossible shots. Like, they're up by one with 2 or 3 minutes left. Why are they taking terrible 2-point shots? They're the better team, go in, get the 1 and/or force a foul. Make the other team make mistakes. Don't make your own unforced mistakes for them.
  11. They are legit the most frustrating team I'm ever watched. Sometimes it looks like they don't want to win. Sometimes they look like easily the best team in the competition.
  12. Yeah, like I said I'm in a meeting and talking and watching a training video and trying to keep up. I'm not a good multi-tasker.
  13. I lied! She'll finish 8th and make the final (I thought both Chinese divers hadn't gone yet). Also, 12 make the final. Sorry, I'm in a meeting and getting confused.
  14. Simone Biles falls on the beam this time, not in Tokyo where she bumped Ellie Black off the podium.
