They had to endure the lucky loser game.
Then they won the quarterfinal game.
And then they fought off match point against the Swiss. And now they’ll play for Olympic beach volleyball gold.
Melissa and Brandi epitomize the Team Canada slogan: Brave is Unbeatable
One big thing missing from this Olympic experience was not getting interviewed by @Devin_Heroux 😢
I really just wish we could clone him and have him at every venue! Maybe we’ll just have to plan for another fall half marathon Devin!
Honestly whenever I get to talk about a Canadian having the hammer I’m very pleased. Because I’m always missing curling.
And tonight in Paris Canada has the hammer 🔨 coming home.
In the hands of 🇨🇦 Ethan Katzberg and he looks untouchable.
When I was in Portugal with Ethan Katzberg and his coach Dylan Armstrong in March they talked about peaking at this exact moment. Right here. Right now.
And then Katzberg walked out here and absolutely launched his first throw 84.12m
He is nearly five metres clear of the field.
Not to be for the Canadian women’s soccer team.
They lose to Germany in the quarterfinals on penalties.
They took the country on a memorable roller coaster ride. And more than anything played for each other.
🇨🇦 Josh Liendo is the first Black Canadian to win an Olympic swimming medal.
He told me growing up he had nobody to really look up to — because nobody looked like him.
Game changer. History maker. Silver medal at the Olympics.
I was hitting a bit of a wall today. It’s been full stream for 17 days here already — pre-Olympics and then into the Games.
Then the magic.
Then I watched Mo Ahmed tonight and am fully recharged. Absolutely electric. And I can’t wait to watch him charge in the 5,000m.
CANADA 🇨🇦 ⚽️ FOR THE WIN
1-0 VICTORY
THE CANADIAN WOMEN’S SOCCER TEAM IS MOVING ON AT THE OLYMPICS
DEDUCTED -6 POINTS. DIDN’T QUIT.
THE DEFENDING CHAMPIONS MOVE ON.
Remember when Naomi Osaka was fined for refusing to speak to the press at the French Open?
And now this today.
Female athletes should not have to endure and navigate situations like this. Ever.
