canada sets a national record in the womens team pursuit!!

[Surlympics 194]

Canada will be racing for bronze!! in womens team pursuit against the americans

[james89 442]

Canada did just enough to get to the bronze medal round of the women's team pursuit - it's going to be tough to beat the US, but this is a significantly better performance than yesterday. 

[Surlympics 194]

yeah they must have been saving it for today, they were way better then yesterday

[NearPup 2,164]

I sort of think Canada sandbagged yesterday, because there was really no prospects of making the finals.

Just now, Surlympics said:

To be fair - I dont think any of the teams were anticipating Germany going out that strong and all the teams that went after them really struggled (Canada, NZL, Australia).

Ultimately, Canada was never going to be top 2, so maybe saving themselves for today will work out.  They get a medal race!

[orangeman 1,323]

This isn't supposed to be a fast track yet everyone is easily going under the previous WR.

[Surlympics 194]

yeah I think they were throwing it yesterday too. The one thing going for Canada against the Americans is the Americans went extremely hard against the Brits who set a new world record to try and get into the gold medal final
