As night falls on Day 3

Olympics, day 3 is done. Day 4 starts bright and early tommorow morning USA/Canada time. Canada while they haven't been doing to poorly also has not been doing that great. The Canadians have one medal so far. It came today in syncronized diving. From the 10m platform Emilie Heymans and Blythe Hartley performed extremely well and captured the bronze, although they did drop a spot at the end. In the medal count Canada sits in a 7-way tie for 31st. The United States sits 4th, based on a majority of gold medals. What do I mean by that? By a strict medal count, the United States is tied for 2nd along with Australia, they both have 13 medals. But Japan has 2 more golds than the US, therefore, Japan is placed higher even though they have half the medals that the Americans have. For more information about the Games of the XXVIII Olympiad check out CBC.ca or for you Americans NBC.com.
