Basically a five way tie. Stunning.

High jump on NBC for those interested.

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

So seems like we have been 11th in total medals each of the last 3 summer Olympics. Basically the difference is no Russia or Russian Olympic Committee team this time, but South Korea passed us so our position didn't change.

This breaking is actually pretty impressive.
I feel the goofy Australian girl will get all the attention (negativity) and overshadow the sports good performances in the Olympics.

I believe it's already confirmed that it won't be in 2028, and doubtful it's going to be in 2032. Yeah it's athletic, but breakdancing is just not an Olympic level sport. If anything leave it as a demonstration sport.

Of course the American refuses to share gold. God I hope he loses.

They shared the gold last time they met in a competition. I could see why he'd want to have the jump off now... although the American lost anyway.

[Cecil Terwilliger]

Holy crap. USA is winning by around 50m.

[Mazrim]

America just destroyed their competition. Wow.

[transplant99]

Yeah....that was truly impressive.

[trackercowe]

I really don't understand why Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone doesn't run the 400m as well. She's obviously the best at that distance... but I suppose that would be too much running in one week?

[trackercowe]

So if we win in break dancing we officially pass New Zealand for 11th in the medal standings... This is huge!

Well he definitely won that one. Not even close... should be a sweep lol

[trackercowe]

Hahaha nice.

[transplant99]

I dont know whats considered good nor bad in break dancing but i do know ALL of it is freakin impressive....super entertaining stuff.

[trackercowe]

I recommend checking out his instagram. I don't think breakdancing is an Olympic level sport... but it's still really cool. Phil seems like a cool guy. I'd go watch a competition in person.
