Durban Sandshark Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 You Canadians should be fairly happy with Team Canada's performance. I am. 3 more golds and 3 more O Canadas than Rosie McLennan's sole one from four years ago in London, of which she repeated. So there's progress there with hopes for the future in some sports like Andre De Grasse and Penny Oleksiak, the CC flagbearer. But as with any team, there's always points here and there where you wish they could perform better (there were many)--and even qualified to get to Rio De Janeiro like the Canadian men's basketball and women's volleyball teams. Already mentioned here, there's going to be some hard issues to confront like canoeing and rowing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the men's side de Grasse, McBride, Thorne, Dunfee, Barber, Amhed and Drouin should all still be competitive or become more competitive for the distance runners and walkers. Even Warner could still be competitive. On the women's side it might be a bit more tight. But there is some talent in the 400m and 400m hurdles coming through. And Watson is still young Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durban Sandshark Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 Heard about it this very afternoon on the radio! Bizarre, but I believe it. Saw Oleksiak on the cover of Maclean's recently smiling with her medals. PS: Go Blue Jays! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogerioandrade Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 22 medals. 4 gold. 20th by medal value but 10th by medal totals. Not bad for a country where winter sports are more popular than summer sports. Not bad at all. I´m glad Canada made a good appearance in Rio 2016. Really.
