2016 Rio Olympics | CANOEING | August 7th thru 20th |

[DFF]

I maintain that if it wasn't for swimming, this would be a disappointing Olympics for Canada.

.

You are right, swimming and de Grasse saved Canada.

The rest are pathetic

She was second, but had a very good time, in any case, top 5 are through in each heat anyways

Hugues Fournel and the "other" Ryan Cochrane into the final tomorrow!

Now hopefully Hugues Fournel's sister, Émilie, can get into the final too!

Germany just way too good, thought Aussies would miss out on the medals but a strong last 150 sees them to bronze.

What a mens 200 canoe race!

Intense stuff, looked like the Azerbaijan stopped paddling right before the end though, weird!

Seems like Canada is excelling in last place finishes in 'A' finals...

I guess to be fair, they only had 3 weeks to prepare, because they were there due to Russia being kicked out and Sweden didn't want the spot. but still. 8th. pft.

 

[Very Stable Genius]

De Jonge just squeezes in to the final.

 

[Daisy Jane]

literally 1. 100th of a second.

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

Doesn't sound like a Gold medal favorite. Just saying....

 

[Daisy Jane]

de Jong can't combat the power of the Pink Boat (seriously, Germany just went off and had it, and GBR was really good too).

but we'll see, i guess tomorrow.

 

[Daisy Jane]

deJong did not medal. pft.
he finished 7th.

Rowing Canada. you are in so much trouble.

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

Every single outlet predicted that he was the Gold Medal favorite. Obviously they were thinking of somebody else.

Which choke job is worse, his or Shawn Barber's? Waste of time waking up for that.

Heath!!!

He almost missed the final so his is probably worst but a choke is a choke.

Total lack of preparation by rowing Canada

Barber is just a personal thing. We are doing somewhat decent in track

I can even give Barber some credit.
It was so obvious even in qualifying he was overwhelemed by the entire thing, and I am sure the weather didn't help in that anxiety. (it's still a choke, don't get me wrong) - but I can understand it more.

WTF De Jong though. he barely got in, he didn't have a good start at all, and he had no acceleration. he looked off.

 

[Shrimper]

Oh girls

Still 1/2.

63 medals so far.

 

[Daisy Jane]

Canada was third at the 500 and then finished eighth
