LOL! She would need to compete in the Kayak event though then, right? That would be some work around of the rules.

 

On another note after the last chance qualifier I'm feeling rather optimistic about the rowing team surprising in the summer. They seemed to have trained very well for this last meet.

Yea! who knows if that works in her advantage if that happens.

Derek Drouin posted on Instagram that he did a makeshift competition on his home track and got 2.24. I’m so curious to see how he’ll do when he does return to competition. 

Good to know he is trying for Tokyo. 

 

Here is the post: https://www.instagram.com/p/CPOJ58lFj_9/

 

He is also going to DOha for the DL !

 

I wonder about Shawncy Barber too. He got card funding but no word from him.

Here are Canadian athletes that are currently not with a qualifying time/distance or ranked high enough to qualify for Tokyo atm (note this list is not exhaustive). I did not include anyone in the women's 400m or Men's 100 as the top 5 in each distance is likely headed to Tokyo due to relays. I have also not included any event with 3 or more Canadians already qualified.

 

Men's 400m - Philip Osei and Austin Cole are likely going to be added to the mixed relay. Myles Misener-Daley is aiming for the individual race, but has had no recent results, so not sure. If we put the top 4 Canadian men in the 4x400 relay, I think they could hit a good time, but I think its too late for Tokyo.

 

Men's 1500m - Another solid result in the mid 3:30's will get Charles Philibert-Thiboutot into a ranking position to qualify. Kieran Lumb and William Paulson need a couple more results in the mid 3:30's to also make into a ranking spot. Lumb I think will end up qualifying in the 5000 as I do not expect Hughes to compete in this event in Tokyo. 

 

Men's 3000m steeplechase - Ryan Smeeton is going to need two times under 8:30 to qualify via the rankings.

 

Men's 110m hurdles - Joseph Daniels is not shown in the rankings, but he should be there shortly, as he has 5 races to be ranked. By my calculation he will be in a qualification position, but doesn't hurt to get a PB below 13:50 or less

 

Men's high jump - Django Lovett and Derek Drouin will both need the 2.33 standard to qualify this late. 

 

Men's pole vault - This is a mystery as I do not know what the latest is with Shawncy Barber. 

 

Men's discus - Jordan Young will need 4 more performances of 64.84+ metres to qualify. He had that earlier this year. 

 

Men's hammer - Adam Keenan has a PB of  74.71 in 2019. 5 of those performances would qualify him for Tokyo. He has not competed this season

 

Men's decathlon - 2010 World Junior bronze medalist in the Long Jump, Taylor Erhardt is aiming to qualify, and would be a third entrant in this event for Canada.

 

 

Women's 100m - A repeat performance from 2019 nationals at the 2021 edition for Leya Buchanan will see her qualify via rankings

 

Women's 400m hurdles - Noelle Montcalm, needs a top 2 finish at nationals + a good time (under 57 seconds) to qualify via rankings

 

Women's 3000m steeplechase - Alycia Butterworth would qualify via rankings with a repeat performance at nationals. Charlotte Prouse needs another sub 9:38 race to qualify.

 

Women's long jump - Christabel Netty is one spot out of the rankings qualification. A repeat performance at nations will jump her back into qualification. Hopefully she can find her form from a few years back, when she hit 6.99.

 

Women's triple jump - Caroline Ehrhardt will need the standard (14.32) to qualify, which is quite a distance from her PB.

 

Women's discus - Rachel Andres will need a repeat performance at nationals and at least another big throw to qualify. 

 

Women's heptathlon - Both Georgia Ellenwood and Niki Oudenaarden need a PB at Nationals (not sure if this event will be at nationals however)

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
