>>250439 Yeah, but it plays into the whole laissez-faire we're-just-glad-to-be-here mentality that results in shitty medal numbers in the first place. There's no reason why Canada can't be a top-16 - hell, even top-10 - contender in the summer games medal count, but popular belief holds that its good enough for us to simply participate. I can't remember who that fencer was who made the verbal self-lashing after being knocked out of contention, but our team needs more athletes like that, people who actually get fired up and ANGRY. Any given media interview made with a canadian athlete who's been knocked out is usually little more than reassuring self-congratulatory nonsense.
