  1. Sorry, I guess I had old info (wikipedia).
  2. Kazmirek beats his PB by more than 5 meters, and he set that PB 4 years ago. O.....k.....
  3. And enough energy left to lift her coach!
  4. As I said earlier, I think it was the least worst decision. But there's no way the same thing would have been granted to any other country (except maybe, maaaaaaybe Jamaica). I'm just glad Canada beat the Chinese by a thousandth of a second, otherwise I'd be up in arms right now.
  5. Don't know about athletics, but don't forget about Eddie the Eel in 2000.
  6. Canadian TV is interviewing an IIAF official. He was asked if the decision to let USA run again would have been made for anyone else: "Of course!". I could have sworn his nose grew a few centimeters right after. Anyway, China has launched an appeal about the decision. The Canadian guy asked if there is any sympathy for them, and the IIAF guy seemed almost bothered by the question.
  7. Well that's good. I predicted 2 diving medals, with hopes for more. Two with two 4ths ain't bad.
  8. And what a finish by Filion. Too bad about last round.
  9. Looks like Benfeito will win a medal!
  10. What a back-half she's having! Last I checked was after the 9th hole.
  11. Kazmarik going out at 5.00 helps.
  12. But he really needs to make that 4.80
  13. Warner's PBs in javelin and the 1500m are quite better than Kaxmirek. So if he's up to 100 points behind after pole vault, Damian shouldn't have too much trouble making up the gap. However, Mayer has much higher PBs in everything left (including pole vault) so he's the real threat. But those PBs by Mayer are quite a few years old.
  14. I think a re-run is the best solution. The Americans can argue that the baton was shaken loose by the contact. Just happy that Canada came out ahead of China to the thousandths.
  15. Haha, on the Rio Olympics site, next to Tory's name (and others) it says "Probably qualified". I've never seen that before. It's true though, as long as he finishes the next race he moves on.
  16. And Tory wins the 2nd race. He just needs to stay on his bike (and healthy) to make it through now. Lots of crashes, lots of the favourites having trouble.
  17. Nyhaug finishes 1st in his first heat. But there was a huge crash.
  18. And CBC didn't show the match, instead showing golf (yawn). I couldn't even find a live feed on their site.
  19. Wiebe onto the semi-finals in wrestling!
  20. Filion and Benfeito are into the finals in diving, but they need to be way more sharp to compete for a medal.
  21. You're right. It doesn't matter anyway because if Canada is a medal contender they should be fine, and they were.
  22. The seeding is ridiculous though. That first heat had the silver and bronze medalists from the world championships, the fifth place team and the Americans who could have won gold if not for a botched exchange. The next heat has Jamaica and............Germany?
