DDDDD: Olympics withdrawl!
As great as it is to be able to watch the Olympics LIVE, I am sorely missing Canadian coverage and I can't even watch it online on CBC! FUcking server blocks the video, "not available in your region". D< What the shit!
Gymnastics
The men's gymnastics team failed to qualify. I'm disappointed. Although, Shewfelt did break both his legs last year so you can't really blame him, I suppose. At least he made it to Beijing. I don't think I'll be able to see any of the Canadians in competition until the finals, if the girls make it... although I don't think so because they do every event at the same time. Although I seem to remember seeing other countries on CBC. Maybe Japanese TV isn't like that.
Aquatics
I saw Kitajima Kousuke win his heat (or did he come 2nd?) and he's made it to the semi's in the men's 100m breast stroke, but Brown didn't cut it for Canada. In Kitajima's interview he was rather... haha funny? He just kept saying his performance was まぁまぁ even though he won his heat. I had never heard of Brown before so he might be a newbie. Granted, I've been out of the swimming loop for a while since Brad quit. The women's freestyle relay team rocked and have made it to the final. I wonder when that's on, and if I'll get to see it? The only name on the team I recognize is Tanya Hunks but I'm not exactly sure why. Did she swim with Brad? I'm trying to look up her profile but the internet is not cooperating. I need to check the diving schedule to see when Alex Despatie is on. I don't know if Japan has any divers so I might not even be able to see that. D: If he makes it through they should have clips on CBC, but even that isn't working right now.
Edit: Gave up on CBC because that site is so stupid to navigate and went to the official Beijing Olympics site. Alexandre Despatie made it to the men's 3m synchro springboard finals! I thought he was doing 10m platform but he's only doing springboard this time. He took silver last time in the 3m springboard event but I won't get to see it because Japan sucks at diving so they won't broadcast it. I'll just have to check the results on Wednesday and see how he did. :3
Kayak
I'll need to watch for kayaking news. Van Koerverden, make me proud! I want a repeat performance of Athens. Although, I don't think those events start until next week?
What the shit is with all these technical issues? I don't live in China! Or maybe THAT'S the reason it's not working -- the video feed is from China? I don't know. I don't really care, I just want it to work. CRY.
