Biggest ones for me will be Canada-GBR soccer semifinal (7:30 UK time) and CAN-BRA basketball round robin (2:30 UK). Tennis is into the semis as well.

Armstrong's first of three attempts was 19.99. He needs to hit 20.65 to or to be in top 12 to qualify.

Update: He faulted his second attempt.

3rd attempt: 20.49. He needs to remain in top 12 to move on. He's sixth right now.

Update: Good news: He's off to the final tonight. He finishes 7th in the qualifying session.

Canada is in the Mens Double Row Finals right now.

Well Canada got destroyed in Mens Double Row.

The Kiwis crushed the rest of the teams. Absolutely crushed them.

Great match between Federer and del Potro, 6-6 in the third set.

YYC in LAX · 08-03-2012, 08:19 AM

This is some tennis match eh eh?
Could be a long one here. We're getting into semi hard-on territory here at 7-7

Senator Clay Davis · 08-03-2012, 08:27 AM

The great thing is the Djokovic-Murray match could be even better. 8-8, its gonna be a battle of will now.

GirlySports · 08-03-2012, 08:37 AM

Federer breaks!

Senator Clay Davis · 08-03-2012, 08:40 AM

Federer's first break of the match couldn't have come at a better time.

GirlySports · 08-03-2012, 08:41 AM

*gasp* break back!!!!! (at LOVE)

10-10!

Senator Clay Davis · 08-03-2012, 08:42 AM

Federer feeling the pressure a little? That was shocking.

GirlySports · 08-03-2012, 08:43 AM

I know. I would have given Del Porto a 1% chance to break back.

GirlySports · 08-03-2012, 08:46 AM

CTV: Men's Trampoline finals! Burnett going for gold!

vanisleflamesfan · 08-03-2012, 08:46 AM

Dong Dong.

That is all.

octothorp · 08-03-2012, 08:46 AM

Damn, Burnett out in trampoline final.

Senator Clay Davis · 08-03-2012, 08:46 AM

I think Federer could get broken again here. I'm guessing he's still a bit shell shocked.

Is that the name of the new panda coming to the Calgary zoo later this decade?
