Later that day in Paradise

OK, it's still hot, but it hasn't rained yet.

Canada won 4 medals today: 1 gold, 3 bronze. Christie Van Hees won her 2nd World Championship beating Chilean Angela Grisar in the final. Grisar got there by defeating Canadian Jennifer Saunders earlier in the day.

The men's and women's doubles teams both got bronze after losing in the semi-finals. The women could have pulled their match out, as they lost to Chile 15-13, 15-13. Canada had leads of 13-12 in each game after coming back from way down, but they just couldn't finish it off (Lori-Jane Powell, one member of the doubles team has more to say about that match).

It's an off day tomorrow before the team competition starts on Tuesday. The Canadian men are going to change up their line up and put Istace and Green as the singles players - they played doubles in the individual round - and have Viens and Odegard play doubles. The women are remaining the same.
