So Yap’s Canadian and it’s pretty hilarious that they had no medals until I read this.
Canada’s Fencer Sherraine Schalm recently lost her opportunity of winning a Bronze and Canada’s first olympic Medal.
The following quote is from this article:
“It’s like I imagine being a man, it’s like being kicked in the nuts repeatedly, that’s how bad it feels, you feel like you want to curl up and die,” a devastated Schalm said after the bout. “I’m trying to put it all in perspective. Immediately it’s not so easy, but it’s just really tough, you train so long and I feel like I disappointed myself, my coach, my family, my country, everybody.
“I wish none of you ever have to go through this feeling of loss and feeling of disappointment, and the only thing that I can say is it’s definitely not going to kill me so it will have to make me stronger.”
… ’I wish none of you ever have to go through this feeling of loss and feeling of disappointment . . .’
I really really feel bad for this lady… that being said… Canada not having any medals is still pretty funny.
