Surlympics 281 Posted May 5 #291 Share Posted May 5 Should Canada focus their strongest athletes on the mixed or the men’s 400 tomorrow ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NearPup 2,311 Posted May 5 #292 Share Posted May 5 3/5 relays qualified on day 1, which I think is a great day in the office. The two relays that were expected to qualify day 1 (men's 4x100m and women's 4x400m) made it, and we had a somewhat unexpected day 1 qualification from the women's 4x100m. Hoping at least one of the men's or mixed 4x400m can qualify tomorow. Surlympics and Topicmaster1010 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh 6,714 Posted May 5 #293 Share Posted May 5 6th for our men’s 4x400m relay. HORRID 1st leg by White, and it pretty much botched our chances. Arop and Morales-Williams had great 2nd and 3rd legs to try and bring us into contention, but too much of a gap to make up. Our 4th leg Misner-Daley had a good opening 250m or so, but faded badly near the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mixed has a much stronger chance of qualifying through the Road To Paris Rankings. Edited May 5 by Josh Surlympics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I wish he did, since the US was disqualified Josh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with Constantine, Gale/Sutherland, Arop, Morales-Williams we’d have a good shot at it, assuming all of the top teams qualify through this event.

JoshMartini007 2,292 Posted May 5 #299 Share Posted May 5 Canada will unlikely qualify through the rankings for either event. I think we have a better chance in the mixed, but let's see what the heat looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
