Canada will never be in the top 10 in the summer Olympics but we were #1 at the 2010 winter games. When was the last time the Netherlands was #1 at an Olympics? Enjoy celebrating your nation’s wins at Kirin, Sculls and Team Goat Sodomy, Nico. ---

each and every year according to alternative rankings! lol if the winter olympics would only consist of real sports like clogdancing on ice and ice skating we would always have been on top (although in the last few years this is finally starting to change because we help all other countries by supplying them with good coaches) ---

I won’t follow it at all, aside from the two hockey competitions. As of yet, I am unaware of any biological men playing on our women’s team. PS: I don’t expect us to do well. We totally paused our Olympic program during covid. ---

To absolutely nobody’s surprise, Olympic boxing appears to be fixed.

Compliant and complicit referees and judges. That was the Olympics, too. Dignity in games has been lost. Perhaps someone has stored it on one of those cargo ships parked on our East and West Coasts. ---

Canada just beat the USA at women’s hockey. Not the medal round. That’s later. Still it’s nice given how strong the US team is. I admit, I somehow care about hockey at these Olympics. I try not to but I do. I especially got a kick out of the Chinese team being an almost all-Canadian squad. lol. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/KWoM4vQjDIA/maxresdefault.jpg "China building Olympic hockey team stacked with Canadians") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWoM4vQjDIA) Their women’s team is all Canadian, too. Check out some of the names. And that blonde hair. lol.
