Some canadians need to ditch the logic that a lucky loonie is all the athletes need to compete with the worlds best. Its much like everything else in the world in the sense that you get what you put into it. With Canada we put in the minimum for a country our size and we are seeing the results.

For myself, I'm impressed that this group of athletes is actually making finals and producing top 20 finishes in many events where they have never been close in past years.
But we clearly have some athletes dissapointing. Athletes that have finished much higher in world events, but are peeing the bed at the Olympics.
