jeeeeez, they let canada sneak in and take the game with less than 5mins remaining..what a heart breaker….even more disappointed that the lame coverage via VSB force me to find the game online…..good clean streaming as well…
What a great thrill for this young lady to be in the olympics. It’s nice to see. Of course, she would have been denied the opportunity and this wonderful experience if Bermuda had been independent,
