Also worth following are Tonya Verbeek in wrestling and the platform divers. Verbeek has a silver and a bronze from the past two Olympics and is through to the quarter finals in a few minutes. Both Canadian divers are in the final. Also I think our synchro swimming team is supposed to be in the hunt for a medal.

Watching soccer right now. Canada is looking like the weaker team (but what do I know?). Really excited to see the mens 200m later today.

Wow... a couple of close ones. Seems like it's only a matter of time before France scores.

^ I was just reading the stats online. Sounds like a ridiculously one sided game. I wonder if the soccer Gods aren't perhaps going to intervene and help Canada take the bronze.

Fatigue and the mental letdown of both how they lost, and going from playing a big rival to... France, sure isn't helping. On the verge of extra time, which will be a killer. I hate to say it, but our only shot at winning this would likely come in a shootout, if they can survive to it.

We might steal this one. Don't deserve this one but didn't deserve to lose the last one either.

Really really cool stuff.

Man was that a frustrating game to watch....Canada is lucky as hell to win it, but they probably deserve it after the last one.

That Kyle girl seemed to screw up every play she got herself into (and from the looks of it, almost blocked the goal).
