GOLD MEDAL USAWomen's 8first gold in 24 yearskept Canada from a medal, hahaha

That was unexpected.
wow. i would have sworn Romania would have easily won
After Canada was forced into doing a reperchage round I figured their chances were slim for the final.
>>2635671 second. damn huh?
I kind of want to share our medals with Canada (not split them, but they can take credit for them too, if they want)They are generally coolI mean, at least they aren't European
>>263567thx, seriously, really surprised at how we turned out, especially after the disappointing finishes elsewhere in the regatta, but wow, they had their shit together and just dominated
>>263588fuck that, we don't want your fucking pity medals. we'll get our own, thanks.
>>263588Per capita/lame athletic support factored in, we usually do alright for ourselves on our own.
>>263586>>263591the men's 8+ is starting right away. i'll be fucking cheering them on!

Holy shit 3rd for the US!Unexpected indeed.
nice race Canada, way to put us in our place.
At least there's one thing involving water that Phelps can't beat Canada at...
It was a great regatta, some really tremendous finishes this year. Sad to see rowing come to an end.
>>263653Seriously, bronze for the US in men's eights? Fucking impressive. A country that sucks at rowing is doing pretty damn well. USA USA USA
>>263659We also got gold in triathlon in sydney with a good chance to podium this year.
Those Australian women must be pretty cut considering how well the Australian male rowers have been doiing.
>>263665USA actually has the most rowing medals ever.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rowing_at_the_Summer_OlympicsWell, second if you go by golds, I guess.
Huh, accoring to cbc the Netherlands got the bronze in men's 8. Did I miss something or do they just have the facts wrong? I didn't pay attention after Canada got in first.
>>263683They're confused, Netherlands finished way behind USA. Unless one of the top three got the banhammer and we haven't heard why yet.
>>263678Geez, Canada is really that low down? I figured we had a much better rowing tradition.
>>263688Probably a recent power. Just like how USA sucks now.
lol, no flagwaving for the Brits
>>263691>>263691USA always sucked, and still does.
>>263724jealous faggot
>>263725I like to call it honesty.
>I like to call it lies.fix'd
>>263734see>>263678
>>263736>>263737it's like talking to a fucking wall with you idiots.
>>263563Epic sprint by the netherlands. They were 5th on the last 500-meter stretch.
wtf netherlands
The canadian men's team had two members who used to have cancer. The Lance Armstrong factor ensured that they were going to win.
HOLY FUCK THAT ONE GUY WHO PACES THE ROWERS IS FUCKING TINY!No wonder they won, they were only carrying the weight of 8.5 people.
>>263746You are one cryptic sombitch.
>>263761the coxie? they're all tiny. if they don't make a certain weight, judges / officials make them carry bags of sand in the boat, to ensure things are fair.
