Its scary how good that entire cycling team is for the UK. They crushed everyone in men + womens.

I would pretty much guarantee you are wrong. As Girly notes, the runner spent years proving that his prosthetics do not create an advantage. Simply due to people like you - people who think "well, it MUST be an advantage, even though I cannot show the slightest evidence" - that he's had to endure far greater scrutiny than he would have at the Paralympics.

Is Ashasx disappointed today ?

Wtf, why cut off that elimination race in cycling? That was pretty awesome to watch. Just because the Canadian was eliminated doesn't mean the race has ended. Lame

CTV needs commercials, lots of them.

Are you talking about me?

I am not disappointed, the women had a good ride and got a good result. Didn't see the race, but am pretty sure no one was going to touch the Brits, they own the track.

If you are curious about why I said what I did yesterday feel free to PM me.

I'm waiting for GB to lose on penalties.

[Street Pharmacist]

Is it just me or is there a very distinct difference between a Canadian medalist interview and almost any other. Talk about being represented well. Duthie's interview with our gold medalist made me far more proud than even her performance

[Joborule]

Cochrane got this.

[Resolute 14]

Ryan Cochrane is about to medal in the 1500m freestyle, but it will be close for silver or bronze. The Chinese swimmer is a mile ahead.

[Joborule]

Silver for Cochrane!

[GirlySports]

What was that Chinese guy on? sheesh!

[TurnedTheCorner]

Great day at the podium for Canada!

[GirlySports]

do we have a chance in the 4x100 medley relay?

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Just clued in that Bruce/Li lost rather handily today in the bronze medal match. That's a shame.

Still, 4th in badminton for Canada is something to definitely write home about, even with the DQ's.

[GirlySports]

action packed 1st half for GB vs Korea.

Korea took the lead but then GB were awarded TWO penalties within 5 minutes of each other. Ramsay made the first but Korean keeper saved the 2nd.

They really did only win one match, and went 1-5 overall. A nice story sure, but that's all.

I wonder if Phelps is actually going to retire? I could see him retiring after this year, only to get the itch to come back out of retirement for the Rio games. It must be truly difficult to retire when you're still the best in the world at what you do.

What channel is the soccer game on?
