Great final leg by de Grasse! No USA???!!!

One diving medal is a big disappointment. But we're used to that by now. Thank goodness for our swimmers and de Grasse.

Benfeito.... Just needed 57 points on her last dive and she blew it. Wow.

Benfeito will not make the final.... Kind of hilarious, she worked her way up to 12th, everyone around her in the standings had bad last dives, yet she found a way to be even worse than them.

Both Canadian women move on in canoe, but unless they were holding back I don't know about medals.

Tomorrow could be a big day for Canada. Andre's got me all hyped up now!

Oh man what a race!

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Warner and Lepage looking good after Day 1.

Is Lapage injured?

The could have a digital kraken emerging from the water hazard. It would be lots of fun.

Lepage ends my heart attack and clears 1.99

Damn, Lucia just outside the final. Too bad we can't get the sisters both in there.

Just sad. They did it to themselves. Total collapse.

I thought there were more, but off the top of my head I can list 11 fourth place finishes by Canadians thus far (and +4 where at least a bronze would have been guaranteed). This isn't to attack these athletes (that's why I've left their names off). But this is a continuing issue for Canada at the Olympics. Much has been made of the 4th/5th place finishes over the last 20 years. At this point we have to accept there's some psychology involved. But hey, at least they're not world champions who can't even get out of the quarters. Or ranked third in the world who can't even get to the quarters. W 10m synchro diving W 100m free M 4x100 free relay W 4x200 free relay W 400m free M 96 kg weightlifting W Gymnastics Balance Beam W Team Pursuit Track cycling M Rowing Pair M Cycling Road Race (virtual 4th) W Trampoline Matches where a bronze medal was lost: M Judo 100kg M Judo 73kg W Boxing Middle W Boxing Feather

After a pretty strong start, we'll be lucky to see 20 medals total. Golds? Forget about it. We'll hear more "They tried, they were injured, we're just happy to be here". And I'm just some dude who never came close so screw me. But holy shit, Canadians, generally speaking, cannot perform at the Olympics.

Wow. Another Canadian disappointment.

Another serve fault to give it away!

LOL, looks like Pavan and Humana-Paredes will lose too. Oh, Canada. I mean, there's a chance. They're good. I'm trying to stay positive. Hahaha, another serve fault to lose the first set. It doesn't get better than this, I guess.

13 serving faults, not going to win like that. They beat themselves. Oh well, they put up a fight. On to the next. Edit: To those interested, those serving faults equal 23% of points needed to win for the Danes. The Canadians gave away almost a quarter of the winning points on their own serves. You can see how frustrating that must be for them.

They're beating themselves.

If Canada could stop faulting on serves that be greeeeeeaaaaaat.

And Rogers faults again to finish 5th. Never a medal expected, but she made it entertaining. At least it wasn't another 4th.

And Canada force a third set and looking very good!

Amazing ball to keep alive in beach volleyball to go to match point! HOLY COW!
