It's weird... Almost every time I watch a sport there is a Canadian winning a medal. Also the Swedish commentator considered(during athletisc) how well the Canadian athletes were doing. Canada must have done better than expected... or?
Sweden has done a lot worse than expected. Many have not performed their best. So big hugs and congratulations to Jenny Rissveds winning gold today. She is young and was in Rio to get experience
Now on to women's handball final, France-Russia
USA has Matthew Centrowitz in the final of the 1500m tonight. I hope he can medal, or at least put in a good show. There was once such a proud tradition of middle distance running in this country. Not so much any longer.
To be honest, I don't know this runner. While I'm not a huge track follower any longer, that is still astonishing. American milers used to be household names in the USA.
Middle distance probably had more glamour than the sprints, to be honest.
Replying to my own post. I feel like Nostradamus! What prophecy!
I am so pleased for him, and for USA. First gold in this prestigious event event in 108 years!
He ran a courageous race. Really went out hard when it was time, and didn't wilt under the pressure. I'm sure the Africans were shocked when he didn't crack. They had to have expected it based on our track record. Also, a medal for New Zealand! I have relatives who will be proud.

I just realized that Austria and Portugal has only one medal. Also I read that this Olympics are the worst in whole history for Finland.
Bad for Finland, but not so much worse than the last 20 years or so I think.
Here's the medals for the Nordic countries 2016:
Denmark 15 (swimming, men’s handball, cycling, rowing, wrestling, canoe, badminton, women’s 400 m hurdles and sailing)
Sweden 11 (mostly Sarah :hap85: swimming, cycling, shooting, golf, equestrian, wrestling and women's football :yay
Norway 4 (rowing, wrestling and women’s handball :thumbsup
Finland 1 (women’s boxing)
Iceland 0 Oh, Iceland used to be so good at handball(silver at 2008 olympics).
I bet Denmark has most medals compared to their population(5,7 millions)... or?
ETA Just saw New Zeeland has a population of only 4,471 millions and 18 medals, so I suppose they win
