For those of you who don’t follow me on Twitter yet, here is a recap of the last two weeks I spent with the Canadian Boccia Team in Kansas at the 2013 Americas Cup. It was especially cool to feel the support of my friends, family and members of the Canadian elite sport community!
@WillCromack just training days until Sunday, but looking strong.

2 wins (COL, USA) and 1 heartbreaking loss (ARG) today at the #boccia Americas Cup in #Kansas – 3 games tomorrow: still chasing #gold — Josh Vander Vies (@joshvandervies) August 5, 2013
Won vs Columbia & USA but lost 2 Argentina. We do have a very favourable +13 pts differential so it’s looking good 4 tomorrow — Marco Dispaltro (@bc4boccia) August 5, 2013

We won bronze yesterday at #boccia Americas Cup after some less than consistent play. Congrats to ARG for silver and BRA for gold.

@joshvandervies congrats on bronze. You’ll get ahead of the Brazilians in front of their fans in 3 years! — Philippe Guay (@philguay) August 7, 2013
Individual play starts today at the #boccia Americas Cup – we will learn our pools shortly. We CDNs power on. — Josh Vander Vies (@joshvandervies) August 6, 2013
One more #boccia game down, one more win. Missing Olivia – on skype she is a little Joshueena! — Josh Vander Vies (@joshvandervies) August 7, 2013
@joshvandervies of course he’s probably tweeting that he faces Josh Vander Vies, a skilled Canadian. Good luck! — Danny O’Shea (@DannyJOShea) August 8, 2013
Solid @adamkreek – just what I needed as I wait to warm up for #boccia Americas Cup quarterfinals. — Josh Vander Vies (@joshvandervies) August 8, 2013
Was an epic battle, but BRA won in overtime with his last ball. Sad about result; proud of how I played. — Josh Vander Vies (@joshvandervies) August 8, 2013
After a tough 1/4 loss I finish 5th at #boccia Americas Cup. Now cheering @bc4boccia and Caroline on in semis.

Waiting to board our flight in Kansas City – can’t wait to be home, after a long and relatively successful #boccia Americas Cup.
