[Leafin']

[Metalleaf]

Rosie getting a medal. Question is what colour.

 

[Leafin']

GOLD!

 

[Metalleaf]

**** yeah!! Gold for Rosie!

 

[JaysCyYoung]

BACK TO BACK GOLDS!

Way to go, Rosie! First ever Olympian trampoline gymnast in history to win consecutive gold medals!

 

[WellPlayed]

Awesome!

Hey do we have any male athletes?

 

[SENSible]

What the **** is wrong with these mother****ing people.

Would you like the short list or the long list?

 

[MindzEye]

Would you like the short list or the long list?

Is there something in between? I really feel like the short list will leave out some important stuff, but the long list will come off xenophobic and if I wanted Johnny's opinion, I would get really stoned and paranoid and write it myself.

Should be banned from competing in any sanction competition ever again.

Let it be a lesson to anyone who brings their archaic ideologies to the games. Leave it home or stay home

Coming into these games, since Barcelona in 1992, Canadian men had won 55 medals, Canadian women had won 47 medals (now 56 medals), and they had won a single mixed medal (silver in equestrian team eventing in London).

Canada historically has had really excellent gender parity at the Olympics.

yeah, this is an anomaly, like when Quebec athletes win at the beginning of each Olympics and the seps say, see we are saving Canada,,,,

Exactly. The boys will pick it up. Here's hoping that Nestor and Pospisil put the boys on the board with a victory in their bronze medal men's doubles match now.

They just rebooted the Canadian olympic team with an all women cast.

 

[JaysCyYoung]

Canada loses to the Americans in women's basketball by 30 points and everyone is talking about how decent a showing it was. :lol

The United States has won 45 consecutive games at the Olympics, won 44 of those 45 games by double digit point margins, and defeated Senegal by 65 points to start the Olympic tournament.

The Canadian women play Spain next in a crucial game for group seeding purposes.

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

is the Nestor match after the Monfils-Nishikori one?

 

[JaysCyYoung]

Rosie MacLennan is too bloody cute. It's a huge accomplishment on her part as she's the first Canadian to ever successfully defend a prior gold medal performance in the Summer Olympics.

 

[JaysCyYoung]

Yeah, I believe that they play on the same court.

I thought earlier how you would love to console Alex Morgan over her missed penalty....
