For sure. But I bet you Australia and the British A swimmers will all show up. It's definitely possible... there is nothing that can beat race experience 

Certainly the British ones will. Not sure about the Aussies through they traditionally their swimmers love the Commonwealth games 
 

 

Canada seem the only realistic hosts for 2026. If they don’t bid then the games will possibly end.

But ISL competitions have changed the priorities for many hight level swimmers. Also the new FINA President is open to sanctioning and work with ISL for a Diamond League-like for swimming.

Oh they finally came to their senses and realized that having some other group of people pay swimmers a salary was good both for FINA and for the national federations?

Is there any injury provision in the selections or is he finished?

You know that this is the first time that Canada has no medals in wrestling since 1988? 

Do we have good wrestlers shine for Paris 2024?

 

Lida Morais may be ?

Don't know if anyone here's been watching the Paralympics or not but CBC's livestreams have been awful. There are now pop up ads that show up in the lower part of the stream that block out the information at the bottom. It would be fine if this was just once every hour or half hour bit no, they literally show the same adds over and over again EVERY FIVE MINUTES!!!  Pretty much almost unwatchable. Really hope this isn't a precursor to the Beijing Olympic livestreams cause they are probably one of the best parts of CBCs Olympic coverage.

I somehow missed Kate O’Brien's life threatening injury.

 

That silver paralympic medal must be really sweet.
