Canada unfortunately now has it's first final result of the games - Barrett and Duenas finished 17th in the mixed team archery event, just two points away from qualifying for the Ro16.

 

Duenas had an decent ranking round that will leave him the 16th seed. Barrett qualified for the Olympics and that's great.

This seems oddly typical for the Canadian team to finish one spot out of the elimination round ?

 

 Best of luck to Duenas and Barrett In the individual events, Duenas seems to often do better in the ranking than the elimination round at the Olympics so maybe this will go better this time.

So Sports Illustrated has Canada winning 7 medals in swimming - seems a bit high?

It’s on the high side for predictions but not impossible. I would be shocked if we got the mixed medley medal that’s predicted. I would also be surprised if Canada won 7 medals and Pickrem didn’t win any.

And it doesn't include the 4x200 women. 8 medals would be a dream

Canada did win 8 medals at the 2019 World Championships including 2 that were not included in the Sports Illustrated predictions (plus 1 from 2017).

 

SwimSwam is currently predicting 5 medals for Canada although they have yet to predict the 100m fly or 200m breast. https://swimswam.com/tokyo-2020-olympic-games-official-swimswam-preview-index/

 

I'm trying to temper my expectations but there's lots of potential.

 

The relays should be fascinating, there's lots of talent there but not sure where everyone is at. Which Taylor Ruck is going to show up? I've been mulling over the 4x100m lineup so much.

I think they need to put Taylor in the prelims to gauge that

    • I didn't this year. But the Summer Grand Prix is like Formula 3 to Winter Ski-Jumping being the F1  I mean Zografski of all people won the Grand Prix last summer, which says it all.

    • The squad was reserve, but that's a disgrace. Apart from Favaretto, there's no generational change. Without Volpi and Errigo, we're very weak. After Paris, it was already clear that the USA had clearly overtaken us. Cerioni isn`t the miracle worker he once seemed.
    • Italian women's foil team, with Errigo and Favaretto, lost against Ukraine in quarterfinals 
    • This Finn trains in Norway. It would probably be better to send 2-3 of our juniors to Norway, pay the local federation and let them train there. Maybe something will come of it. We should have given money to the Colturi team and now we would be in a much better situation than we are now. France: 2 win for Clement, 4 place for Amiez. You can see that there is progress and we? 19 Vinatzer? This is a joke. 
    • Croatia, Bulgaria and even the UK have skier in the top 10 today. The UK doesn't even have mountains with snow. Can you fall any lower than we do? If the UK had mountains like ours they would be the best in the world.
    • Nothing will come of this Italian slalom. It's getting worse every year. The Italians' style of riding is simply not suited to the current times. It's too slow. One Lara Colturi will earn more points for this 2nd place than the entire Italian men's and women's slalom team by the end of this year... I would give money to the Colturi team than to the entire squad of these mediocre skier.
