This is one of those medals I really hope they get. McKay and Benfeito lost the bronze in 202(1) by half a point. They outscored the Mexicans on every dive except one (and outscored the silver medalist Americans 3/5 dives). That means if one judge would have scored them 0.5 higher on one dive they would have gotten a medal. It was kind of frustrating that they didn't get it in the end, so I really hope McKay and now Miller can pull through in Paris.

Silver for Caeli McKay/Kate Miller in women’s 10m synchro at the Xi’an Diving WC, with a score of 296.10. Up 8.76 points on their Doha score, good sign heading into Paris. Some of the big pairings are absent however, such as Spendolini-Siriex/Toulson and Jin-Mi/Mi-Rae.

Tammara Thibeault with an excellent 5-0 win over Li Qian at the World Boxing Cup in Pueblo, Colorado, United States! Qian is a Rio 2016 bronze medalist, and a Tokyo 2020 silver medalist. She also won bronze at the 2023 World Championships, and gold at the 2022 Asian Games.

Both have been nominated to Canada’s Olympic team.

I don’t know why you’re asking me, I’m not an expert on that “sport” I’ll say Ryan Decenzo and Cordano Russell in men’s street, Fay Ebert in women’s park and that’s it. My predictions may be a tad pessimistic but low expectations = no disappointment.

Josh, who do you think will qualify. Can we qualify more than one woman in breaking?

However no new money for organizations which tbh is fine as long as the athletes are supported.

Events #1: May 16-19 in Shanghai, China. #2: June 20-23 in Budapest, Hungary. Sports Breaking (10 OQPs per gender) Skateboarding (22 OQPs per gender in men’s/women’s street, and 22 OQPs per gender in men’s/women’s park) BMX Freestyle (6 OQPs per gender) Sport Climbing (12 OQPs per gender in men’s/women’s lead, and 7 OQPs per gender in men’s/women’s speed) OQS Shanghai Schedule https://olympics.com/en/sport-events/olympic-qualifier-series-2024-shanghai/results/schedule OQS Budapest Schedule https://olympics.com/en/sport-events/olympic-qualifier-series-2024-budapest/results/schedule Points System In sport climbing, breaking, and BMX freestyle there’ll be a maximum of 50 points up for grabs (unsure on the amount of points per rank though) in both Shanghai and Budapest, the athletes with the most amount of points qualify for Paris. In skateboarding, it’s a little bit different. They’re using a three-thirds system where 1/3 of each athletes Olympic Qualifier Series Ranking will count, along with 1/3 points in Shanghai, and 1/3 points in Budapest. Right now, Fay Ebert is on 4076 points in women’s park, while in men’s street Cordano Russell is on 20,727 points, Ryan Decenzo is on 18,110 points, and Matt Berger is on 7,725 points. Canadian Athletes In Action Sport Climbing - Alannah Yip (women’s combined), Sean McColl (men’s combined) Skateboarding - Cordano Russell (men’s street), Ryan Decenzo (men’s street), Matt Berger (men’s street), Fay Ebert (women’s park) Breaking - Tiffany Leung (b-girls), Emma Misak (b-girls)

My comment was in jest (because both of us thought it was last week) Lol

Canadians stats in the NBA after the finish of 2023-24 regular season: Canadians NBA stats 2023-24.xls I have sorted out the players by average points and i also kept some important statistics as you see in the file above. I have also colored green the cellls with the NBAers that participated in 2023 World Cup and yellow those cells of 2 other players (i explain the reasons in last paragraph) Data taken from page: https://basketballbuzz.ca/nba/2023-24-canadian-nba-stats-tracker/ Note: According to Jordi's statements, on the sidelines of a Kings' game in Toronto somewhere in March, the 7 NBAers who played last year in the World Cup are sure for the final roster for Paris 2024 and the additions of Andrew Nembhard (Pacers) and Trey Lyles (Kings) seem very likely.

Great that they’ll be streaming pretty much everything, but I hope they’ll have separate streams for track and all the various field events at Paris. Most the time on athletics streams they only show replays of field events, it’s rarely ever live. Canada has medal potential in both, and I wouldn’t want to miss anything live. Also hope that Brittany MacLean will be at Paris for swimming. Edit: Just messaged with Devin, the field events will have live streams as well.

I had it on in the background - pretty exciting stuff!

I’m assuming you watched as well?

Men’s wheelchair basketball team qualifies for Paris! 0-3 in pool play, but defeat Italy 72-60 in the Paralympic qualification match to continue their streak of competing at every single Paralympics since 1968!!

The men's wheelchair basketball team qualified by beating Italy 72-60.

GOLD FOR CANADA AT THE WOMEN’S HOCKEY WORLDS!! GOLD FOR CANADA AT THE WOMEN’S HOCKEY WORLDS!! GOLD FOR CANADA AT THE WOMEN’S HOCKEY WORLDS!! In a game that pretty much had it all, Canada defeats United States 6-5 to win gold!! They get their revenge on the United States after losing in the gold medal match (who else but Hilary Knight with the goal?) on home soil during last years World Championships, to defeating them as hosts this year. Danielle Serdachny with the game winning goal in OT, after a Canadian powerplay was awarded after too many Americans were on the ice. Shoutout to (defender) Ella Shelton as well, she had an incredible save on a potential gold medal winning goal in the closing stages of the 3rd period.
