One more medal and we'll break out all time record of 24! I would love for Arop to win that 800m final, but it's a deep field. He'll need to bring his best to win.

Not sure anyone can catch Lydia Ko in the golf but Brooke Henderson is having a good day and is one shot back of a medal position.

Both golf tournaments have been very compelling. A tough course with plenty of opportunity for momentum swings.

While this would be terrific (already done), how can we factor in the number of sports and competition across Olympics?

Is this the most successful Canadian team of athletes? Or just more opportunities to win medals..

Any luck finding a way to watch this in Canada? Seems they’re blocking the coverage on the golf channel and the CBC app isn’t showing any of the live coverage.

It's been over for 40 minutes. I'd imagine it'll be up on the CBC app replay soon.

He was just short of the pace on that final straight. I was hoping the Kenyan would fade but he held on.
