What a joke. I was certain it was Phelps who was leading the whole time.
Biggest historic race ruined by the epic fail commentators.

Friedman has screwed up a bunch of times. The swimming has been amazing, but the commentary is a 2/10.

Great response by Friedman. Totally owned up to the mistake, but you feel for him. At the time when he mis-called Oleksiak I didn't realize he also mis-called Lochte and Phelps.

CBC announcer Elliotte Friedman confused Phelps, Lochte | SI.com

Quote:

Well, sometimes life runs you over, then steals your credit card. Friedman says, “I couldn’t get my head straight.” He tells me about his mistake in the next race. He confused Oleksiak with another Canadian swimmer, which tells you his state of mind—there were no other Canadians in the race.

Canadian women's soccer team ranked 10th just beat France ranked 3rd and are now in the semi finals. Will play against the Germans who are ranked 2nd but lost to Canada earlier in the tournament.

RRxtar 08-12-2016 04:04 PM

whats everyones opinion on medal counts?

Canadians generally ranks by total count of gold/silver/bronze, while most other countries rank by gold totals.

technically, counting gold only should probably be the ranking system. shows how many events that country actually won. some countries wont even celebrate a silver. but we as canadians i think are more caring of all our athletes and want to see as many on the podium as possible.

underscore 08-12-2016 04:21 PM

I want to see a count that shows how many different people won medals, it skews things pretty badly when 1 guy wins 4 swimming or running events.

MarkyMark 08-12-2016 04:24 PM

To me the medals really only mean something if I'm very invested into the event. Olympic hockey it's pretty much gold or fuck off, but in the summer Olympics I'm just happy for the people that win something that weren't necessarily supposed to win anything.

dbaz 08-12-2016 04:50 PM

imo total golds should be how its ranked. then silver and bronze should be used as 2 tiebreakers.

I think that's opposite. the official Olympic ranking uses gold medals as the marker. 1 gold > 89528248288 silver

Canadians in general are just happy to see people participate (bleh)

LUL

Americans were not smart enough to play the right strategy to beat the Swedes.

That's rich coming from Hope Solo, a domestic abusing piece of shit. She gets a pass, if not praise, from regressives because she's a woman and her victim was a male.

Opting for a strategy that increases your chances of winning is not cowardly. It’s smart and, actually, brave, because you’ll have to endure comments like this from the spoiled, take-victory-for-granted brats like Hope Solo if it actually works. It’s easy to play the little kid int he playground, who gets condescendingly patted on the head and sent away once it succumbs to its inventible loss. It’s far harder to stand up and fight. To dare is to do, as the saying goes.

Hope Solo is the coward. She’s the one who refuses to take ownership for being beaten by the better team.

In lobbing these untrue characterizations, she’s devaluating Sweden’s worthy accomplishment in the worst kind of way. I don’t care if she’s upset. I don’t care if she only meant it in the moment. This isn’t what the Olympics is about.

Manic! 08-12-2016 08:15 PM

Hope Solo also decided to change her gloves before the last penalty kick taking her sweet time. Trying to play mind games with he Swedish player.


Take a look at this:

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cps99qQXgAAj-sl.jpg:large

She is so far ahead the others are not even on the screen. She won the 200m 400m and the 800m freestyle. Now here is the crazy thing. She can't take any sponsorship money because she wants to keep swimming for Princeton university. That's millions she will lose out on.

RRxtar 08-12-2016 08:34 PM

Hope solo could have won the game for the USA all on here own if she didn't keep letting in goals in the shoot out. But instead she tried to 'game' with the gloves and then was a super sore loser.

She's a cunt





And her cunt is arbys
