Donovan Bailey just jumped on top of the SkyDome.

The faces on the people carrying the country signs are freaking me out

[GirlySports]

Diving on tv now (i might be the only one watching)

[shermanator]

How those divers don't smoke their head on that platform every time is beyond me.

Men's 100 meter sprints start on Wednesday and even though Andre De Grasse is only 20, and Canada loves to pile massive expectations on our young sports stars, I cannot help but be excited for this young man. He's the only Canadian since Surin and Bailey to run sub 10 second times. He is only 20 and had only been running for 3 years! Future is bright for Andre.

Beach Volleyball is pretty intense

I can't believe the gold medal baseball game wasn't on TV. What a gong show.

[Violator]

Played baseball with the lennertons growing up they are really good baseball players.

The TV schedule is horrid. Most of what little coverage has been tape delayed. I really don't get why. I've been wanting to watch a lot more than I have.

Terrible coverage by CBC. No replays last night. No idea what happened to allow the runner from first to make it home. Embarrassing.

Good on Canada baseball though! Back 2 back!!

People can't have it both ways.
For years all people could say was they had no interest in watching, had no desire to pay attention to Guadalajara and didn't tune into Glasgow.

CBC follows the same routine with a decent online package and coverage if the most popular events. Suddenly there us a demand for wall to wall coverage?

All of those demands are meaningless if the same isn't done for Gold Coast in 2018 and Lima in 2019.

These are on home soil. Did more Canadians watch the 2010 Winter Olympics than the 2006 Games in Torino? I don't have the numbers, but suspect there was substantially more interest for the games in Vancouver.

This is the largest multi-sport event ever held in Canada in terms of number of athletes. If you relegate these games to web content only, there will be no fan interest in Gold Coast 2018 or Lima 2019.

Get familiar with the name Andre De Grasse everybody. 100m Gold!

[Displaced Flames fan]

Watched Brazil/USA basketball game last night, or at least most of it. USA team looks like one that was just thrown together. I think they made some errors in choosing Bobby Brown and Malcolm Brogdon to run the team. They guy in my avatar would've been the better choice I think. He facilitates play. These guys are just trying to score.

Vitor Benite.....you are amazing.

USA/Canada tonight. Winner will play Brazil (likely) for Gold.

Very exciting 200m Men's final.

Very exciting 200m Men's final.

Yep, a great finish! De Grasse wins gold again, and does it from the 8th lane

[Sainters7]

Why must the last minute of a basketball game always take 5 hours?

Be thankful this isn't the NBA. FIBA rules are actually way better at keeping a game going.

[Tyler]

Murray is putting up a legendary performance tonight!

[Tyler]

Wow! Women's basketball, Men's baseball, and now Men's basketball! What a games for Team Canada!

[GirlySports]

US getting killed in the bronze medal game. they just dont care anymore

Edit: nevermind, they overturned at 22 point deficit in less than a quarter.

[CofR]

And 4X100M gold for Canada as well. Lots to look forward to for Rio coming out of these games.

[Tyler]

We got DQ'ed.. Didn't we get DQ'ed in London too??

[CofR]

Yep, had a 3rd place finish taken away in 2012.

[craigwd]

Happens a lot in relays but very rare for a dq to come 2 hours after the race was made official. :(

[GirlySports]

Don't forget Brianne Theisen-Eaton.
She had a horrible heptathlon but still managed to win a second straight world championship silver medal.

[craigwd]

Been up since 3am! This has definitely been super Saturday in Beijing.
Amazing performances and medals for Damien Warner, Melissa Bishop and the men's 4x100m.

Highest world Championship medal count ever. Could go higher tomorrow with Derek Drouin and Liz Gleadle.

[craigwd]

Far from the best high jump competition I've seen but it went to a jump off for Gold and Derek Drouin wins!

Liz Gleadle had a really tough javelin round and ended in 11th spot. :(
Disappointing because she had a really sweet qualifying throw.
