Did Drouin get his medal last night?

I really don't understand why I can't find video of any of the medal ceremonies online. Wake up CBC.

Yup. And it was awesome. Really exciting competition.

Medal ceremony is tonight. They always do them the next day of competition for track.

Hopefully he can stick close through shot put.

Thanks.

exactly capitalize on his strengths and stay close on the ones he's not. (which ones are his best? which ones are Ashton's?)

Thanks.

Yeah, I lied to you. I somehow thought you were asking if he won. Shouldn't post here while multitasking.

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

So going by that, going to have to hope for Ashton to under perform or Damian to set some new PB's. Or both.

That's a rough list. Looks like Ashton needs to mess up for Damian to beat him.

 

[Cerebral]

For a chance at gold, Warner likely had to boom out a huge long jump (or hope for a big Eaton mistake). His jump was good but not close to his personal best from this season. He's still in good shape through two events though!

Unless Eaton gets injured, he's not losing the decathlon.

Keep in mind many of Warner's personal bests are fairly recent while many of Eaton's were set like 4 years ago. Eaton is still the favourite for the gold but you never know!

Ashton is pretty beasty.
well anything can happen, I mean, Thaim went other worldly maybe Damian will too.

I love the steeplechase. Throw a bunch of dudes out on the track at once and force them to jump big ass hurdles and puddles.

Ah yeah, great point. Thanks for mentioning that, I totally failed to notice that.

Good catch. As they say, nothing is sure until it's sure. Especially in sports.

 

[offkilter]

...and the Uganda runner face first into the barrier.

Evan Jager gets silver in steeplechase! Hell given how hard this race is I'll take it!

 

[Plural]

Fajdek is out. What a massive surprise. Guy has won what, like 30 something competitions in a row. 14 he's cleared 80 meters. Now he's out? In the Olympics.

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

Not a great first throw for Damian in shot put.

 

[yoteshot]

Not a great first throw for Damian in shot put.

And then a horrible 2nd... my god...

 

[Daisy Jane]

He's ninth. Ashton is 5th. we need to finish 5th (at least). to stay on pace.

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

And then a horrible 2nd... my god...

Yeah, I don't know what the heck that was. Didn't even get to 13.

His last wasn't very good either.

 

[shortshorts]

Yikes. Thst was not good.
