At my age, the only thing I can do for the Bears is make sure they get plenty of hydration and have enough towels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpyone Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 are we sure that Bettman doesn't work for FIFA... no good on the appeal for leniency about the 6 pt penalty for the women. I REALLY hope that the ladies win the gold anyway just to throw it back in the officials' faces. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBH1926 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 French like few other European nations have always been known for eating and living well. I like how they decided to treat olympians to cardboard beds, crowded accommodations, stifling heat and food menu that makes military canteen looks like eating at la tour d’argent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 56 minutes ago, grumpyone said: Canada.... the KING of placing 4th....every.single.Olympics. Look at it from the perspective. You are top 10 in the world at a sport or activity. That means you are better than 99.9% of everyone else. Don't fall for the US mentality of Gold Medals are all that matter. If you are a 100 m sprinter. And you finish 1 second behind the fastest person on the planet. You are probably better than anyone else in your country. Just not better than everyone in the world. The amount of training, and discipline, and effort to get to that level, not everyone can do. If you gave it all you had. That's the best you can do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the matches are 14 minutes each. Most teams play 2-3 times per day so that's not unusual. The crowds are amazing and come from all over the world. It's very entertaining. (I do wish we had a BC place sized venue with real grass turf.) I did the size/weight thing. It said Rugby 7's. I'll tell you straight out, I can't run full out like that especially with my knees. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurn Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Sad to be finishing 4rth? Compare the population of Canada, to which ever country finished above them. According to wiki Canada is the 38th most populated country. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Japan and South Korea can make stadiums with real grass turf, why can't we? Why didn't they include that in the reno's to upgrade BC Place? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
