Couldn't get passed the Germans. Onto the Bronze medal game against Brazil
Men rule again!
Mastering 10 disciplines and compete over two days is quite a feat. Makes for a long two days
Final event of the Decathlon (1500m) is coming up shortly. Damian Warner is clinging to a Bronze going into it.
Then at about 9:25, Andre De Grasse goes up against the big man in the Men's 200m final. Hope to see Andre smiling again.
anyone who disagrees and discuss it with Erica Wiebe
Erica Wiebe gets Olympic gold in Women's 75KG wrestling.
Anohter Canadian Bronze for Canada - Meaghan Benfeito in women’s 10-metre platform diving
and this story came out before the games started.
