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.

I at speaking about the athletes in general but the fact that the best that we have to offer are so low that 25th is the best that we have to offer.
I realise that we are not a Summer Olympic powerhouse but that doesn't mean that we have totally suck at events.
My issue is not with the individual athletes and their results but the overall ineptness that Canada has at so many events in these games.
