It is great to see that we are starting to see good results now, but in my view that does nothing to change the fact that people were finishing 25th with Canadian records.

You just don't understand.
In the first week the Canadian athletes weren't expected to medal. So why is it pathetic when none of them go far and beyond themselves and take home a medal?
I don't see a problem with Canadians finishing 25th and breaking Canadian records. It requires more analysis than that. Being a winter country you think it should be a little more expected that there's going to be plenty of summer events that Canadians just don't compete in very often, but apparently not.
I simply don't see how people expect people ranked way down in the world rankings to somehow transform themselves into a powerhouse in their sport for the Olympics.
