Even our good performers are not performing up to Standards.
The only good thing thats going to come out of this Olympics is hopefully a change and streamlining of the system.
I'm thinking that Canada is going to see 5 or 6 medals tops by the end.

I agree with you. Unfortunately the other sports don't come under the same pressure/money/scrutiny.
Swimming tossed their coach from the Athens Olympics. The guy was a total turd. What I have heard though it takes 8-10 years to get it on track and from what I have seen so far the swimming program is better.
Unless Canada starts to develop a Judo program it is the swimming events where the medals pile up. All in all I keep seeing Canada spending great gobs of money to send these massive teams of losers. Did that boxer really have to go?
With Canada dropping a golden opportunity vs Cuba and the women soccer up against the USA....Whitfield just may be our Ben Kinobi.
How did Mali get into the Olympics Basketball (women)and Canada did not?
