It was a very exciting race with the fifth-place finisher only a few hundredths of a second out of a medal as well. One of the annoyances in Poznan was that the big ancient scoreboard would immediately show the “unofficial” (hand-timed) results to the crowd, but the corrections would never be announced or shown. So Rich was announced in fourth place and it was only when I saw him lining up for the medal ceremony that I knew he was third.

I noted the shot at CKC and I should point out that carding is a Sport Canada program and the requirement for progression criteria is mandated by Sport Canada. The CKC high performance director and his/her committee are responsible for the specific implementation but the policy is set by Sport Canada (you can find it on the Heritage Canada web site).

CKC are not free to do away with progression criteria, even if they wanted to. Maybe there is a better implementation that would still comply with the policy, but I have never been able to come up with one. If you or your readers have great ideas I am sure the new high performance director and the HPC would be happy to hear them.
