So its currently around 10:30 am in Qatar and the majority of Team Canada is fast asleep, taking full advantage of the 1st free day of the tournament. Yesterday was a fantastic day for us, with 3-0 decisions against Thailand (THBT every country should have the right to nuclear weapons, Canada on Opp) and Argentina (THS quotas for women in high government positions, Canada on Prop). By some stroke of luck, we had debated the improv topic on quotas against New Zealand in a practice round 2 days back. Some surprising results so far in the tournament include-
India is currently 4-0, having beaten both Ireland and Korea
Sri Lanka 3-0 over South Africa on Day 1
Bangladesh 2-1 over Scotland on Day 2
Pretty sure there were a few others, but none spring to mind immediately
More to follow!
You guys, I am so happy to hear you are doing so well! I hope you are having a spectacular time. I hear the tournament is something else
I wish I could be there too. I am very proud of you guys!
wow, that is a really sinister looking emoticon….
Great debating team!
Today the Winter Olympics start and I am sorry you guys will miss it but you are a team honourably representing your country at the highest level. On behalf of Canada, I say thanks!
Excellent work gentlemen!
Keep it up, and enjoy the day off and the warm weather!
You guys rock! J’aimerai tellement être là pour vous voir débattre!
Vous êtes une inspiration!
Mexico winning over Pakistan is also a bit of a surprise!
I knew India would become a force to reckon with!
Cheers!
