Anyone in Canada who's between the ages of 26-32, and didn't own a Beaver Canoe shirt and/or Ocean Pacific and/or T&C Surfwear clothing, is lying through their teeth.

Never Beaner Canoe.. But did have O.P. and T&C which was the coolest!

ok, I'm kinda getting depressed watching this.

Each race Canada is on the outside lane, either 1 or 9, and by the first checkpoint they drop off the screen.

That Van Koeverdan is an impresive athlete though. He won a bronze, and still has another race tomorrow I think. Plus he's young so he can be a big medal hopeful in Beijing.

[browna]

Bah.

1 for 5 tonight.

From the looks of it, there was only 1 poor race, the other 3 races, Canadians weren't favoured to get a medal (or really even close) in the first place...

Would've been nice to get one more..let hope for more then 1 in the 5 races tomorrow night.....

The entire canoe/kayak team was aiming for the Bejing games as their breakout, not Athens. While the finals results have been somewhat disapointing, the overall result is encouraging. Hopefully we will be a force on the water in 2008.

[Table 5]

are there any more finals to come in this event?

Five more that we are involved in, I believe.

[Table 5]

hey, if we get another medal out of those five, than that will be quite a success for kayak/canoe.

If only the athletes who were supposed to win medals would have come through, this might not have been a bad Olympics for Canada after all. Of course having said that, I hope the people in charge dont use that as an excuse to not help build our programs...

[browna]

A gold, and a bronze. So 2 for 5 tonight.

3/10 overall in finals.

Not bad....hopefuly the experience and results will make the whole rowing/caneoing/kayaking team even better in '08.
