Canada National Thread

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'm hoping for 5-6 medals in swimming so 7 isn't totally out of the realm of possibility. I also wouldn't put the mixed relay completely out of the possibility, though we are definitely not a favourite.

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

My best guess is Sanchez, Smith, Ruck and Oleksiak with MacNeil replacing the weakest performer for the final.

    • I thought that was the case.  I just started watching skimo last year, but even then, I didn't recognize any of the women.  I recognized the top Swiss guy, I think.

    • Yes, that and a lot of the main medal contenders  either didn't have teams entered/or fielded B-C teams

    • Unexpected boost for Team .  They are at least going to have a credible excuse if anyone fails any drug tests.     American rapper Snoop Dogg has been named an 'honorary coach' for Team USA at next year's Winter Olympics.   The United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) announced on Thursday the 54-year-old will take on "a volunteer role celebrating and supporting America's athletes off the field of play".   Snoop Dogg named 'honorary coach' for Team US at Winter Olympics - BBC Sport
    • Just now getting around to these results...glad to see USA win a gold.  Didn't think we were much of a contender here.  Home soil luck?
    • Qualification status that could realistically change this week, barring (except where noted) new time qualifying performances :   Men   500m : pretty much done   1000m : pretty much done   1500m : pretty much done   5000m : one outlier at the moment  Semirunniy. He's currently not qualified for the distance being 18/15 in the rankings and R1 time-wise. He could still punch his ticket :    either by getting into the top 15 with a very good result (a podium or even a win would be needed). If it is at the expanse of  Henriksen or, less likely,  Swings, then the loser is out. If it is at the expanse of any other, then  Sasaki is out.  or by hoping Lorello gets into the top 15 at the expanse of Henriksen or Swings. or by going faster than Sasaki (6'08''834) which seems reachable after his 10k, even in Hamar.   10000m : once again Henriksen is on the bubble. If  Maly, Petzold of  Farthofer gets into the top 9 at the expanse of Malfatti or Snellink, then he's out.    Mass-start : not much at stake considering most of the reserve skaters will already receive an additional quota - at the moment    . Morino  will try to enter top 32 and be in those additional quota spots.    Team pursuit : pretty much done   Women   500m : pretty much done   1000m : with  Thorup not cleared to participate one more spot is up for grabs.  Scholz would need to be in front of both Herzog (done as she's not entered) and Czerwonka (7 points) after this final week.  Silaeva would be left out.    1500m : Lamarche not competing and  Zofia Braun being promoted to A division, Poland has got a real shot at a second quota. Braun will need to stay in front of Scholz and Weidemann, who could still finish ahead of her depending on how good Braun fares in A division.  Smedding would suffer from a Polish rise.   3000m : match-up between  Yang and  Horikawa only separated by 3 points. At the moment Yang is out (R2) but if they exchange position in the standings then Horikawa is out (R1). They could also both finish ahead of Hofmann, at the expanse of  Golubeva ultimately.  Jasch has a small shot at a second German quota too, by edging the former two skaters, eliminating them.    5000m : pretty much done   Mass-start :  Santo Rodrigues is hanging on by a thread. The cruelty of it is that those immediately behind her -    - will get an aditional spot anyways, so it does not really matter if they finish in the top 24 ahead of her, except it would allow France to enter a second skater and two girls in the MS.   Team pursuit : three-way asymetrical tie for the last SOQP spot between   and , all in division A. Norway needs to beat both as they can't rely on a time Q, Kazakhstan needs to beat Norway to ensure (if they fail to beat China) the first SOQT spot and avoid the Italian wild-card*, whereas China is pretty safe. *  is currently out but they "only" need to get into a reserve spot to be qualified, which is going faster than 3'00'92 (or faster than Norway if they too decide to skate faster). They were not far off this mark in Hamar earlier this year but the team was in a better shape overall.
