Gold and World Record #3 for Summer!

Jankovic broke the Canadian Record twice in one day which had stood since 2003.    And a bronze for the mixed 4x100m medley relay.

Well it seems as if all of my swimming prayers (minus Oleksiak) have been answered.    Kylie Masse is competing at the Spanish Spring Open this week, she ripped a 27.23 in the women’s 50m backs

Alexanne LePage swam 1:07.60 in the 100m breast semis today. Had an entry time of 1:09.66. Bodes well for the future of sprint breaststroke!

1:06.58 in the final to win gold!!! :hyper:

Between this and Sophie Angus, Canada might have finally filled their breaststroke role in the relays.  Unfortunately it comes at a time where they are falling behind in the other strokes.

Yup. No clear successor to Masse/Wilm or MacNeil

And unless Oleksiak comes back strong, the sprint freestyle has suddenly dried up, too.  Still think they'll compete for a medal in the women's medley in Paris, and maybe even the mixed medley if they decide to go for it.  The latter is much harder, though.  Putting Angus/LePage on the breaststroke will improve the team, but replacing McNeil with Liendo won't really move the dial.  Not sure if it'd be enough.

 

The other good news is, reviewing the times from Fukuoka, Gaziev did great in the relays on the freestyle.  After two strong finishes in the men's freestyle relays in Tokyo and Fukuoka, they're just lacking one more 47-second guy to really challenge for a medal.

Yeah, during the 2016-20 period, most of our young talent was in the 100/200m distances. Now during this period, it seems like most of our young talent is now in the 200/400m distances which is still great but doesn't bode as well for the sprint relays. But as we saw with Lepage, talent can emerge from out of nowhere very quickly so hopefully we can find some new sprint talent soon

      apparently our NOC rejected the winter sport federation request to send a bigger delegation.   they published a list of just 14 athletes. 8 in CC skiing, 2 in Alpine and 4 in SkiMo. equal number of male and female athletes in each sport.

      Yeah, I'm not entirely opposed of different host cities, but 24 hours of sports is not a good idea. Keep it to the 16-18 hour days.
