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.
Not sure why anyone would feel justified in saying I told you so as but if it makes them feel like big men to ignore the fact that despite the recent results there is still huge problems with the program then I guess they should go ahead and do that.

Well because Baumann and Chambers had set the 14 medals goal well before the games, and then after a week of competition, media and public was jumping all over them, telling them that their expectations were way off from what their athletes were delivering. They declined to change their predictions. And it looks like they'll be proven right. If that isn't an I-told-you-so situation, I don't know what is.
