Fox334 Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 Verbeek gets trashed in her semi. Still have a chance for bronze, thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olympian Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 good thing happens to those who wait and Canadians and Canadian fans waited and we finally got our due.

mr.x Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 All three colours within an hour! The tide is turning for Canada!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave199 Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 I told you all we would be getting all our medals in the second half. I know it was very frustrating to have to wait this long to get a medal but we finally got 3 in a matter of 30 minutes. We all have to be patient. we will win a bunch more in the next couple of days. We have our Women's Trampoline athletes qualifying in #3 and #4. We have a great shot for both those athletes to medal. Then we have Cochrane in the pool who broke an Olympic record who looks favourable to medal. Then we have 4 Rowing boats in the Finals tomorrow. We also have our Women's 3m Springboard athletes who did well in qualifying. #3 and #10 in Prelims. Who else am I missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a day for this amazing country ... couldn't believe my eyes when scrolling through the medal table (just missed all the events this night/morning) and when coming back home it was just a WOW WHAT IS THIS ?!? Surprisingly it's wrestling that brought Canada into the medal table ... and let's see how you guys do in rowing tomorrow ... hope your crazy country will enter the top twenty tomorrow ... good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
