He had a real chance to get on the podium, just ran out of gas, but he left it all on the track.

You had to know we couldn't get through an Olympics track meet without a Canadian getting DQ'ed.

It has to be Penny.

Other two are very strong performances and good representatives of Canada, but Penny carries the flag. It should be unanimous.

I've always been under the impression that that sort of jostling goes on all the time. At least that's what I saw when my daughter was competing.

yeah i think it's crazy to strip Olympic medals for that. I'm sure there will be appeals.

The Flames almost got bronze in the men's 4x400, so close!

Lets see, I'd guess it was Brodie, Giordano, Bennett and Gaudreau skating for the Flames.

It looks like after re-review, there was only one DQ in the 5000, so Mohammed got the 4th place finish.

that might piss off Ahmed more. He was already distraught after the race he didn't medal (before the DQ)

Oh my god this race was definitely the highlight of the day for me (except for the ignorant guy next to me in the bar I was watching it in).

Bish ran the perfect race and I was gutted because she thinks it wasn't enough.
She has broken the Canadian record 3 or 4 times over the last year, after it hadn't been broken since 2001. And to lower it by .41s last night, wow.

YaBish!
