Looking at the splits from the relay heats - Rebecca Smith with a 1:55.9 and Marie-Sophie Harvey with a 1:57:5 looks promising. Not sure if they are going to get Sanchez to double up too.

Sanchez is swimming really well; for sure it will be a difficult decision

sad that ellie black won't be in the all around finals since simone biles is out. Would have been a really great opportunity. Do you think she could have medalled?

Based on qualification probably not. Hoping she can somehow pull a medal on beam.

Day 5 was a relatively quiet day which saw Canada still win one medal.

 

Day 6 has medal chances in judo (men's -100kg), rowing (men's pair and women's pair) and swimming (women's 4x200m freestyle relay). I'd also keep an eye on fencing (women's team foil), France is definitely beatable and while any of the other semi-finalists would be a long-shot, having an opportunity for the upset could result in a shocking medal.

Looks like another day we can sleep in

Devin Heroux tweeted there would be 3 subs - My guess is that its Sanchez doing the lead off then Smith/McIntosh (maybe reversed) and Oleksiak as the anchor.

That would be my pick too.

 

If Smith can repeat her performance and Sanchez can get into 1:56... then there is a good chance of a medal
