Title: No Pan Amers here? So many Canadian Heros & Heroines to Admire
Post by: cc on July 25, 2015, 02:08:14 PM
Canadians are doing well in the Pan Ams - so many wonderful young people doing so well



Just a few of our people in action



Wonderful Canadian 20 yr. old Andre DeGrasse wins 100 meter



then, 2 days later Andre  comes from 5th at 100m mark, turns on the afterburners   and wins 200 meter



10th event for Decathlon, 1500M Damian Warner already leading after 9 events  destroys the field to win Decathlon in record time and points



This guy is a class act on and off the field - I think I'm in love again



Later Today, Andre will anchor the Men's 4x100 meter final & challenge the Yanks at what they do best





Men play for Basketball Gold today - Beat the US yesterday in overtime

Oooooo I love equestrian!  I've been watching Ian Miller jump on Big Ben since I was a kid.  I assume he has a new horse now though.

What is scary about this 20 yr old kid Andre who only started to run short distances 3 years ago is that he does not know even the basics of running short distances like 100 or 200 m



He started extremely poorly in the 200, gave the pack 5-8 meter ... then turned it on and beat them all. He also started bad in the 100 then ate up the pack handily  



Once he actually learns the basics of running, and retaining his ability to finish like a rocket he likely will be the best ever





Basketball really bad at 1/2. All of our troopers have done so well in all sports. These guys beat the US in overtime yesterday but look totally worn out today.

What's with forumers? Neither forum gives a shit.



Does it have to be a bunch of hockey pucks to interest forum people?

I think this is not a tournament that the USA sends its best otherwise they would definitely cover it. I've searched for it and I have not seen it shown on the US channels.



Just as well, we don't want to be champions at each tournament. We want to give others a chance. :wink:

I stand corrected, apparently the US has the most gold medals but why can't we watch it!?

Dunno. I guess no networks figured it would sell?



Too bad, cause the games were great - US & Canada looked good at so many events



Final standings - not sure why order is mixed up

....so what happened to Usain Bolt?

Guess he couldn't be bothered showing up.

Maybe the payoff wasn't big enough.



Would've been interesting race if he had.

Perhaps then the Canadian might not have won.



However he would've surely ran the 100m below 10 seconds with a thoroughbred like Bolt in front of him.

He qualifies. Pan-American, Pan American, Panamerican, Pan-America, Pan America or Panamerica may refer to:

I don't see any West Indian nations represented at all.
