You can take the women's relay and men's 10,000m out of there and add Finn class sailing, Steacy would have to have a great PB to come close to the medals.

SkiFreak Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 Just read the headlines. Its about time that we have some medals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faster Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 I just checked the wrestling draw for today, the Canadians are in very, very tough, facing the gold medal favourite in the first round in the 72 and having the 2 gold medal favourites in her half in the 63. But here's hoping yesterday's great results spur them on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave199 Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 If they want to win a medal I guess they'll have to beat one of the best in the first round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceNarcissus Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 I watched the Carol Huynh match last night. It was so good! She was in no danger at all and totally dominated Icho. I'm a little annoyed with CBC interviewing her and Tonya Verbeek at the SAME TIME. They both need to be one-on-one. Way to give Tonya a chance to talk over Carol and act like she's the one who won a gold medal. Nothing against Tonya because she's great, but she dominates the conversation with her passive authoritative speaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have the potential to win so many medals today. Hopefully we'll rake them in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
