I have just finished watching the swimming final in the men’s 200 metres breaststroke at the Olympics.
I have had high hopes for Mike Andrew Brown (here), as he was very close to getting the first medal for Canada in these Olympic games. But he fell short, just some 0.09 seconds behind a Frenchman Hugues Duboscq and came 4th.
Both Oriwol and Beavers swam in semifinals of the 200 metres backstroke, but none moved on into the finals.
Beavers has finished 5th in the men’s 200m Individual Medley semifinal, so again just only place short. He could have been going into finals.
On the positive note, Annamay Peirse has finished third in women’s 200 metre breaststroke semifinal. So she is now heading into the finals on Aug 15. Boy, I hope she gets it!
