- The oar on oar bit was in the men's doubles, where the Canadian boat crossed out of it's lane just before the finish, which resulted in the other boat's (can't remember where they're from) oar hitting ours, messing up their rhythm bringing them to a halt. Don't think there was any real oar on oar contact cause that would have messed up the stride of both boats.
For the men's 8s, our guys are the world champions and heavy favorites to win, but for some reason they performed really really poorly, finishing second last (5th) and 10 seconds behind. I guess it was more of a shocker since they performed much better earlier in the qualifying rounds. But yeah, we should be happy, the athletes are putting forward their best efforts.

- leo, wasn't that the whole oar hitting oar debacle though?
and hell, get over it. We don't fund our athletics enough to demand top placements anyway. Maybe this year they'll actually do something about it (yeah right) unlike every other Olympic year where the same shortcomings are duly noted and then ignored. We should be proud of all our athletes who even made it to the Olympics, and especially proud of those who came in the top five. It was likely just a bad day... or something went a little differently that made them place the way they did... like Men's vault... holy shit, the world champion fell incredibly badly, and one guy was taken out on a stretcher... talk about bad day... (and his birthday too... poor Russian: Alexei whatever his last name is, what a brutal way to spend your b-day) Hey, but Canada (and a fellow Albertan at that) finished fourth... not that he should've (should've been bronze), so let's celebrate that... and the men's 8. Big deal, no metal, but kickass nonetheless.
It would be like being mad at our military presence... when we don't fund it either. I dunno... health care and social services or athletics and military?
Hooray for the underdogs!

Hardly makes up for the 5th place we got in the men's 8s...
