I read that Brown, Haynes, Rodney, and Ajomale will run today. De Grasse will run anchor in the final tomorrow I assume.

[CofR]

[CofR]

Wow! The Americans botch their baton exchange in the Women's Relay!

[InBurkeWeTrust]

[Arsenal14]

Both Filion and Benfeito are through to the final in the platform diving as well. That goes at 1:00 this afternoon.

[CofR]

Canada has qualified for the Women's 4x100m relay Final.... There's going to be a lot of controversy about that last heat though, this is going to be a story all day.

[CofR]

Watching replays the Americans should get reinstated (somehow, don't know how that would work), the Brazilian team impeded them

[troutman]

At 8:00 the Men's Triathlon begins!

Where do they do the swim?

[Senator Clay Davis]

If the Americans get reinstated, doesn't someone have to be DQ'd? Only 8 spots on the track.

No idea how it would work... Sucks for the American team regardless though
