Skylar Park and Anastasija ZOLOTIC will likely meet in the f8 (if they win their first round match) in Tokyo, with the latter having won every match between them. Does not look good for a medal in taekwondo in Tokyo.

A - you never know what will happen at the Olympics

B - in 2016 the host quota was automatically seeded at 4, not sure if that's happening this time but it would knock Zolotic down to 7th seed.

Men's basketball team's road to the Olympics is shut down.  Very disappointing.  A team of NBA "stars" lost to one without any.  Canadian basketball players don't seem to have any drive playing for the national team.  Very sad, they could be medal threats if they competed at the level they're capable of.

Canada's team size stands at 371 athletes atm.

 

Rugby +2

Water polo +1

Field hockey +2

Football +4

 

These sports alternates will count now (waiting for final confirmation). So that is 380 athletes right there.

 

These can add to the team:

 

-Men's hammer throw (Athletics) - Adam Keenan is the first reserve

-Laurence Vincent Lapointe is still waiting to hear if she can compete in canoeing

-An appeal on the exclusion of the equestrian jumping team is still outstanding ?

-There is an appeal currently regarding Jeremy Chartier's potential participation in Tokyo. Verdict now going to the courts, FIG rejected appeal. 

-Any B standard swimmer being invited to the games (unlikely, but still a possibility exists). 

 

so if everything is positive then we are looking at 380+ athletes

It shows Alex Bellemare is qualified for Tokyo now, since Arly Mendez of Chile was caught with marijuana

I think they have jumped the gun. If Arley can prove it was not intended for competition, his ban will still allow him to compete.
