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

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.

    • I remember when I was a child and I was on holiday with my parents in Tunisia, I think in 1999? We were on a trip to the desert near the border with Algeria. The guide said something like that: Algeria is a few minutes from here but we won't go there because there is a war going on there and it's not safe.
    • Netanyahu is bad but unfortunately Hamas helps him maintain power. Every attack they make is a reinforcement of Netanyahu's rhetoric about the country's security, etc. In the fall of 2023, Netanyahu was already losing support and then suddenly a big Hamas attack on a festival near the Gaza Strip. Coincidence? It wouldn`t surprise me at all if Netanyahu knew about the plan for this attack but did nothing so that he would then have the tools to maintain his power. I also remember Ariel Sharon - he was probably even more radical than Netanyahu but he had a brain hemorrhage and fell into a coma.
    • Ah yes, post-colonial bickering never gets too old. Let me grab my popcorn!   Netanyahu is on a personal revenge mission to avenge his brother's death for his entire political life and people still act like they're surprised by his actions
    • MId-1962.  Almost all the Jews were driven out in a few days, even though they had been living there since Classical, pre-Muslim times.   Perhaps our friend could give us details of of any current Algerian plans to welcome them back, restore their property, guarantee their safety etc etc?    
    • In what year did Algeria free itself from French influence? 1960, exactly?
    • Or better, perhaps he'd like to tell us what happened to the 140,000 Jews who were living in Algeria in 1960, as against the 200 who live there now? 
    • There are still many people of Jewish origin in Central and Eastern Europe who have nothing to do with the state of Israel. What ties does Zelensky have to the state of Israel? Apart from he waś there as president of Ukraine and speaking in the Knesset? Nothing. In the power circles in Moscow there were/are many people of Jewish origin and what about that? A large part of the power apparatus of the USSR was based on Jews, especially in the years shortly after WWII.   Instead of constantly writing about Jews, would be better to tell me which country Algeria has better diplomatic relations with: Tunisia or Egypt?  
    • Handy guide for the perplexed.  
    • I`m a bit disappointed with the starts of the Italian team. I was counting on progress from last year. And here it looks like Bagnis is still very uneven. In Cortina there will be 3 competitions with medals to win and it would be a shame not to use our track to win 1-2 medals. The same goes for luge.
    • On the other hand Errani's serve doesn't make Paolini's task any easier... But Paolini is in a such good shape here, though, that I hope she wins her first title in the old Fed Cup. For Errani, it will be 4: 2009, 2010, 2013. So far, Roberta Vinci has 4 titles with Italy.
