London 2012: What to watch, August 9th
"Day August 8th" is very nearly over and CTV may have just done it. They've shown promos for Charlie Sheen's new show "Anger Management" so often, I will do it. No, I'm not talking about watching his show, I'm talking about seeking anger management courses over the building rage I feel over how many times CTV has shown me promos for "Anger Management." It's either seek help for my own anger management issues over this, or miss the rest of the Olympics because I've hurled my laptop at my television screen.
And I don't want to miss the rest of the Olympics. Because I'm pretty sure that the Spice Girls are going to be part of the closing ceremonies. Saucy!
For "Day August 9th," there can be only one thing on our minds: Women's soccer. Here's where I go off on another "how tough is Christine Sinclair?" tangent. How tough is Christine Sinclair? She's sooo tough, I hear that Chuck Norris has written a book filled with "Christine Sinclair is so tough..." jokes. Except, they're not funny because they all could plausibly be true. If Christine Sinclair were caught between a rock and a hard place, she'd merely blast her way out by hoofing a soccer ball through either the rock, or the hard place. And she'd do it through whichever was more difficult.
Canada has a shot at a bronze medal in women's soccer because a certain Norwegian referee scored the gold medal in the "what the *#@! was that call?" event. Guess it's a demonstration sport. Canada versus France, 8 am ET, on CTV.
Japan plays the United States for women's soccer gold at 2:45 pm ET, on TSN. Big whoop.
Usain Bolt takes another crack at making running really fast look ridiculously easy. Frankly, I half expect him to blast down the track with a novel in one hand and a gin & tonic in the other. You know, Usain Bolt leisure time. If he hasn't impressed you yet, he probably will if he smokes the field in the race he actually prefers to the 100 metres, the 200 metres. Kind of like how I prefer a 2 hour nap to a 1 hour nap. 3:55 pm, ET, on CTV.
The men's BMX cycling competition begins, and not a moment too soon. The Olympics wasn't cool enough with just the odd shot of Princes William and Harry at every blessed event. Canada's Tory Nyhaug competes in a BMX heat, and those begin at 10 am ET. You can see that through one of those fancy smartphone apps, or streaming live on your computer because anyone who's really into BMX probably thinks a television is a quaint relic from the "olden days of the 2,000's." Oh, wait, it's on Sportsnet, too.
Canadian divers Meaghan Benfeito and Roseline Filion have made the grade in the 10 metre platform diving event, each moving ahead to the semi's. Geez, do they have to do everything together? After combining to score a bronze in the 10 metre synchro event earlier in the games, they'll battle for individual medals. Will the drama of competing against each other ruin their friendship? Will the stress of going head to head tear their families apart? Will jealousies and hard feelings lead to one of them going after the other's boyfriend? No. No, it won't. This is Olympic diving, not an episode of Degrassi. Semi's are at 5 am ET, finals, if they make 'em, go at 2pm ET, Sportsnet.
