I could be wrong but I thought a country could have up to 6 athletes in the Kayak events and 3 in the canoe. 

Yes, what I mean is with the athletes already qualified, CKC can fill all the boats. By adding more athletes the results will be worse off than sticking with what we have.

Despite the sanctions, Bayramov remains the winner of the bout as according to Article 53 of the International Wrestling Rules, under no circumstances may the result of a match be modified after the victory has been declared on the mat.

Utter BS

In the K4-500m? 

Yes.

I think we have maximized our teams in kw km and cw. The quotas represent the best results. There is room in the former two but we would get worse results if we named more athletes.

Women's k1 500 has been moved to day 3 as a direct final (there was a scratch)

Why? One of the chefs at the hotel restaurant the swimmers were staying at merely introduced traceable quantities of heart medication into their cooking accidently. It's easily done.

Is this sarcasm?

Men's c2 500 fail to qualify for Paris. C1 1000 is unlikely to qualify (the Cuban athlete is the Pan Am Champion). This means no men's canoeing representation for Canada barring a reallocation

Brazil wins men's c2 500 quota

K2 500 Men

Heat 1:

 in order of finish

Heat 2:

No stream, and the schedule delays by 1 hour

Canada will only enter the men's eights and women's quad at the final qualifiers.

Melissa/Brandie are also now officially qualified for Paris! (Its on their Instagram)

Can athletes who do not participate in the individual 20km walk event participate in the mixed walking relay?

That's my question too. Canada's women's athlete is unlikely to qualify in the individual event. 

Damian Warner's results last week. The shot put beat his best throw from last year already. Discus/110m hurdles/PV is close to SB from last year as well.

He was entered in the decathlon and entered the other five events, however DNS the 100m and did not register a height in the highjump 

Surprising quota for Canada!

Rowan Hamilton with a new PB in men’s hammer throw of 77.16m at the Mt. Sac Relays! Almost half a meter over his previous mark. 
 

What a day it’s been for Canadian athletics. Well minus Mitton who had a bit of an off day. 

Fun fact, Hamilton and Camryn Rogers share the same coach!

And Kaila Butler with her third best throw ever (and beat all her throws from 2023) as well. She may have an outside shot at Paris.

Just now, Josh said:

Sade McCreath also clocked a 11.16! Maybe we might have a chance to qualify our women’s 4x100m relay to Paris?

The wind was over the limit for her heat.

Who would have Canadian athletes would break 2 NR on the same day and this early in the season?

Audrey Leduc 10.96!!! In the women's 100. New NR and Olympic quota! 

Time is legal!

Who would have guessed a few years ago Canada would be good at hammer throw
