Olympics

Have to wonder if Herdman gets rid of Sinclair and some of the old guard after their performance the past couple of games. They looked really slow...and old. The kids played wonderfully though.

I'd try and convince him to take over the men's team if I were the CSA.

And whatever happened to our sailing program? We used to be reasonably competitive there. It's a little shocking that given the number of yacht and sailing clubs here, to say nothing of Canada having the world's longest shoreline, that we don't get more medals like the few we picked up in the past.

There's a sailing program? It's a thing?
 
Derek Drouin officially has at least the bronze medal in high jump---he's one of three competitors left alive in the finals.
 
Drouin cleared 2.38m! Hasn't missed this far. That's only twin cm below his personal best too. Fake Qatari guy and the Ukrainian Bond villain on their final jumps!!!

Cool---Drouin's got the gold already, but he's still jumping anyway looking to set an Olympic record.
 
DEREK DROUIN WINS GOLD!

First Canadian athlete in 84 years to repeat as a medalist in athletics!

Commonwealth champion, World champion, and now Olympic champion!

Edit: I'm doing Drouin a disservice here. He is also the reigning Pan Am Games champion. :smilewinkgrin:

As a teacher I occasionally have some connection to the athletes of the Olympics. The London Olympics I had taught track star Justin Warner. I even took him.to birchmount myself.

This year I can say I actually was the assistant coach with my buddy coaching women's basketball player Tamara tatham. Both Justin and Tamara came from the same Sr public school in Scarborough.
