LONDON Reid Coolsaet isn’t one to avoid assessing his performance even when he is, to borrow his words, “out of it.”
The 33-year-old Hamilton native has spent the past 10 months educating — through countless media obligations — the Canadian public on the vagaries, history and impossible demands of his chosen torture. So he wasn’t going to bail out Sunday even right after “bonking” for the first time during a competitive marathon.

COVENTRY What really made this so memorable, as in all great drama, was the complete and utter unexpectedness.
Not just in the final line of the final scene of the final act, but through the entire play.

The Canadian women's soccer team shook off the crushing defeat to the United States earlier in the week to win the bronze medal today in a dramatic 1-0 victory over France at City of Coventry Stadium.

Let’s try to focus on the positive.
As we watch the Canadian women’s soccer team compete for the bronze medal against France today, let’s not grumble about what might have been, or what should have been, if not for some questionable calls by a referee during Monday’s heartbreaking loss to Team USA.

LONDON You do anything for 22 years — let alone something that demands such total physical and psychological commitment — and it comes to an end, the surprise would be if you DIDN’T cry.
So there was Scott Dickens, uninhibited and unashamed, reviewing the final day of his swimming career through halting sentences and with brimming eyes.

OLD TRAFFORD It could have been them. Upon further review, it should have been them.
And, because it wasn’t, the Canadian women’s soccer team had trouble exiting the historic ghost-evoking pitch here Monday night. They lingered and lingered, tear-drenched, physically and emotionally wracked, and ultimately incensed after two-plus hours of some of the most riveting 11-aside football you’ll ever witness.

MANCHESTER, ENGLAND—Call it a legitimate complaint. Or call it a big underdog trying to gain some sort of mental edge on the eve of a big game at the Olympics.
Either way, the coach of the Canadian women’s soccer team took a swipe at the Americans on Sunday, accusing the U.S. team of “highly illegal” tactics

Bobby Charlton-a member of Manchester Unit's Holy Trinity, along with Denis Law and George Best - famously labelled it the "Theatre of Dreams."
