My neighbourhood in T.O. was solidly Italian when I grew up. Hundreds of young ladies in my high school.

The only thing Italian about this girl is her thighs.

the thing about Italians in Canada/Ontario is "the majority" are mostly from the South of Italy ... olive skin ... brown eyed ... HAIRY!!! lol

Northerners didnt emigrate from Italy in the same numbers that Southerners did because its a richer part of Italy.. Northerners are of different stock lol ... almost germanic/croatian ... many are blond and blue eyed (got alot of cousins like that)

this diver ... Tania Cagnotto is a northerner ... from Bolzano (in the alps)

People see my surname and say "what are you?" ... i tell them Im pretty much swiss

Update on Pierre McGuire at the water polo pool - I guess he compared one US girl water polo athlete to Jonathan Toews and he also likes the net front presence that the US water polo team is utilizing.

Interesting. You are right about the ancestry. Lots of Calabrese and Sicilians in my neck of the woods. I did have a buddy from Northern Italy with bright red hair. I always wondered if he was legit or a poser haha.

It's funny because I am of English and German descent, but due to my dark olive brown skin, people think I'm Italian.

/My need to due some ancestry DNA work on the family tree (lol)

Didn't get to watch it last night but pretty awesome that a Canadian finished 3rd in what may be the premier event of the Olympics.

Saw a bit of the US-BRA game today. The Brazilian defence reminded me a LOT of the Leafs. Non-existent.

Saw the most entertaining event ive seen so far

Greco roman. A cuban v a turk. Looked like super heavy weights

Cuban threw his opponent in opening seconds in suplex like fashion to score 4 and then it was just girth v girth lol

At the 5 minute mark the turk slapped the cuban and the ref awarded the cuban 2 points for a score of 8-0 so the match ref ends the fight due to technical superiority

The cuban starts dancing on the mat in celebration and does one of those degeneration x crotch things (lol) but the turks coaches challenge that the slap was accidental. The judges rule in favor of the turk and the score goes back to 6-0 and the ref loses his shit that hes been overruled by the judges

So the match continues and the final minute passes and the cuban finally gets to legit celebrate as he is officially victorious. More dancing ... cross between a jig and salsa. Then the cuban wrestlers coach runs at him jumps up to hug him and the cuban suplexes him onto the mat lmao

Looked like a wwe heel turn

Oh yah and canada upset italy in mens volleyball to qualify for the qfs
