really a pretty nice result for Andre. Out of Rio of course easy to have seen him as the gold medal heir apparent, but in the last five years with injuries and covid alot has happened- he would have come in as a medal contender , not a gold medal favorite
getting lane 9 (and having the guy in lane 8 pull up half way through) meant he was really running out on his own. Kerley and Jacobs were definitely impressive all through the rounds, the 3 medalists are the 3 my wife and I had circled going in as the 3 to beat
Bromell is evidence of what a worst case scenario looks like, so Andre grabbing a bronze (and still in the mix for more medals) is all right. 4 medals now , outside chance at 6. with all the talk of Penny taking down Klassen and Hughes- what is the male record (esp Summer) for Canada?
