Can someone update me for the Rugby 7's semis? I missed the games and haven't found out who won.
Fiji had too much power and pace for Japan. Japan battled till the last minute, but it was too much.
GB won, but SA gave it to them through a number of poor decisions. The Blitzbokke left at least 2 tries on the field. GB didn't win it so much as SA lost it. Shocking play.
I don't think Fiji will make the same errors as the Africans, Fiji to win that country's first ever Olympic medal. Fitting that it is 7's Gold.

Totally. It's always been one of my favourite Summer Olympics sports to watch, but consistently having Canadians in the medal mix has bumped it to a whole other level for me. I've actually been so into it that I was just now looking into aquatic drop-in rates at MRU for this weekend haha. It's got a hold of me!
yeah it's turned into appointment viewing. 7pm sharp live from the Rio Olympic Pool!

Gymnastics, in particular beam and floor, could really use a lot less of that weird hand/arm waving stuff. I don't get what they are doing with their hands and it just looks random and spastic to me.
While PopNest are playing on Sportsnet right now Volleyball about to start on TSN. The Women's Track Team Pursuit rides next but can't find it on tv, so it may just be online.

Pospisil really didn't do well in those tie breaks.
Will Canada get a gold ever again?
I think our best opportunities are golf, trampoline and women's soccer. We had a decently strong cycling team in the past but I don't know how our team stacks up now. Ryan Cochrane also has his best event coming up tomorrow, 1500m freestyle, so hopefully he can challenge for the gold.

Shawn Barber competes in the Pole Vault on Saturday, an event he won at the World Championships last year. That's another good chance at gold.

I hate how TSN utilizes their channels. They have 5 channels and are showing the same beach volleyball game on all 5. Is there a lack of events currently that makes it impossible for them to show something else?
