Team Canada is moving on for the Show Jumping Team Finals. I believe they are tomorrow but I could be wrong.

Yeah, the team final is also the third round of the individual jumping which goes tomorrow. All four of our horses are still alive in the individual as well.

Can Canadian horses win more medals than Canadian men?

That's good, hopefully none of them have to be euthanised.

Brilliant routine by Canada's synchro duet in the final round. They will be in tough for a medal though, with very strong teams like Ukraine/Russia/Japan

Worst job at the Olympics? Getting the horses to pee in the cup has to be up there.

Sweden playing similar "coward" (as Hope Solo so eloquently described) style as they did versus US. Holding down the back line and defending well. Brazil is trying to break through, but they've been caught a few times on the counter.

We're in the 58th minute.

The Canadian game is in a different stadium/city, so there won't be any delay even if the Brazil-Sweden game goes to extra time, right?
