Unless something drastic happens in the next 24 hours...who do you give the flag to?
It's obviously between Sinlcair and MacLennan.

I was chatting with some other journo/broadcasters here and they think Sinclair might not get it because of her comments after the USA game and when they asked her again Friday, she said she didn't want to take them back despite grabbing the bronze. I've followed the women's team for over a decade and I'm bias. I want Sinclair to carry it because she's carried the women's national team on her back for her entire career. However, others feel because it's a team sport and her comments came off as a "whiner" that she doesn't deserve it. On the other hand, the women's team obviously captured the most interest out of Canadians.

But with all that said, how can Canada's lone gold winner be ignored? I feel bad for her because she's probably not getting the recognition she deserves.

It's a tough situation.

On another note, the women's soccer team had a yacht party with some members of the 2010 women's hockey team from Vancouver who are here in London. It was a sight to see
