Yeah they want to win and to win you gotta beat the best teams so doesn't really matter when you play them. I think they're all tough matchups once you move to eliminations anyway so send a message beating the Germans and go from there.

Canadian women are the best... period (no pun intended)... no other country compares and nothing will convince me otherwise...

I'll narrow that down even more - Manitoba women are the best. When I was in Mexico on a Bust loose trip while still in University, the contingent of Manitoba girls there could out-drink all the other women and most of the men from the rest of Canada. They were a pretty tough bunch who could out-party anybody.
August 15, 20168 yr comment_215965 Was a fun race. Curious how he fares in the 200. Not a lotta 100 guys that can race the 200 well, aside from Bolt. Or, at least, that used to be the case.

Or, at least, that used to be the case. yeah Bolt is just a freak, there is no way a guy that tall with that long a stride should be able to have that quick a start. the 100m guys used to always be shorter and more powerful and have to take a bunch of steps but then here comes bolt who can hang with guys off the start and as the end of the race comes he just uses those great big long legs to keep powering through and leave them behind. Never see another guy like him I don't think. As for De Grasse, he's a bit of a slow starter too who gets faster as the race goes on so they say but given his stature I can't see him really being a threat in the 200m. Too many taller guys there who will use that natural advantage in the stride length to overcome slower starts.
August 16, 20168 yr comment_216082 I just don't know enough about the mechanics of running to know. But Bolt was saying last night that DE Grasse runs the same way he does, whatever that means...
August 16, 20168 yr comment_216086 Think he was just talking about the slow start and strong finish, but over a longer distance I can't see a guy that short being able to maintain the speed like the guys who are built to run the 200m.
August 16, 20168 yr comment_216135 well geeze after watching the heats for the 200m perhaps I under estimated De Grasse. Kid is just fast. Still think guys like Bolt just with their size are tough to beat cause Bolt just jogged the end of the 200 and still won his heat comfortably but De Grasse didn't expend a ton winning his heat without trouble either.
August 18, 20168 yr comment_216457 That little finger wag is just great, he's telling him, you cheeky bugger, you're not beating me even in the semi final.
August 18, 20168 yr comment_216465 Apparently there's been a lotta miscommunication about this whole "bromance" thing...according to Scott Oake, who's been there on the scene, Bolt has actually been a little pissed off at De Grasse at times. When ADG tried to turn it on at the end and fake a win in the semi, Bolt was really not impressed and was telling him "Don't do that...not in a semi...." and De Grasse told him he was just joking and to relax...there's been a lot more tension between the two than most suspect. At least, according to an Oake piece on CBC.ca earlier today...fwiw, Bolt said "He's just young...he'll learn...."
August 18, 20168 yr comment_216488 CBC was showing some interviews that Bolt did with some other networks not being happy that he had to work harder in a semi final, but Donovan Bailey says it's just the competitive streak of each guy. De Grasse wants to win so he's trying to send a message and Bolt being older and coming in after the hamstring injury doesn't like being pushed. I think bottom line they do get along just fine but it's still competition and you still gotta do what you gotta do to take that edge into the final because everyone wants to win.
August 19, 20168 yr comment_216700 This all has to do with money, Puma just gave DeGrasse a big bag of cash both Bolt and DeGrasse are both sponsored by them so the narrative is that they are buddies and the torch is being passed down, are they ? depends if you listen to the Canadian media or International media.
August 20, 20168 yr comment_216786 How great is it that we end up with a medal after the Muricans and their dope fiend Gatlin get DQed in the 4 x 1? Absolutely loving it...
