Nation,
Very exciting Friday. The Worlds will conclude today, with finals in the men's, mixed and women's divisions.
Now... we sit and watch.
Open
As predicted, Canada advances to the finals and will play the USA. Japan and Britain will battle for Bronze.
It's really going to be a epic match that will stay in people's minds for the next 4 years. It might also be a final call for many of the great Canadian players that have lead us for years.
Women's
Canada is left asking themselves what happened in the semis, after blowing a 3-0 lead over the USA, Team Canada rebounded to win the bronze over Australia.
Japan will play USA in the finals. I honestly don't know who the crowd will cheer for. I hope they are kind to the Yanks.
Mixed
If there was one thing to be proud of as a Canadian on Friday, it was the mixed team's victory over a great American squad.
As most of us thought in the pool (to the right), Mixed was the division where we thought we had the best shot at gold. Facing the americans in semis seemed like a huge barrier, but this team answered that challenge. Shout out to my boy Scotty Hislop, as well as Tiffany Lin, Kate Crump, Andrea Cheng, and Eammon Watson.
It's not over yet- Japan awaits in the final.
Masters
Another heartbreaking loss to the Americans, but a silver medal to remind them of just how well they performed this week.
As predicted, Pete Knowles emerged as a dominant cutter and helped keep Canada close, but the US (considerably better than the 2004 version) were able to win 15-13.
Jr Open
Our Junior team wins the silver medal, suffering a heavy 17-7 loss to our American rivals.
The Germans win the bronze.
Jr Women
Japan further states their emergence to the elite levels with a lopsided finals win over Australia.
Our women finish off a tough worlds with two great wins. They finish 5th. The United States beats Cinderella team Columbia and takes the bronze, winning by one point.
