Yeah outside of the first few minutes against Japan, the women's team looked quite lackluster. If they want a medal, they'll need to step it up.

Totally agree it will be tough

I decided to check out the athletes by their home province/territory.

 

Sadly no one from Newfoundland & Labrador, Prince Edward Island or any of the territories are competing.

 

Ontario - 171

British Columbia - 94

Quebec - 58

Alberta - 28

Nova Scotia - 8

Manitoba - 5

Saskatchewan - 3

New Brunswick - 1

 

Additionally two athletes (Eli Schenkal, fencing and Janine Beckie, football) are listed as other, both have hometowns in the United States.

 

Overall, BC has the highest amount of athletes relative to its population, even far surpassing Quebec in the overall count despite having about 50% more people.

Does anyone has a good idea on the form Maude Charron (weightlifting)? According to ESPN5 (the Philipino version of ESPN) she has the best PB of anyone entered in her weight class by 2KG.

She's absolutely a gold medal possibility. In April she won the Pan American Championship by 6kg against the Colombian athlete who is the top ranked athlete in this weightclass.

Alright, that really snuck up on me (I don't follow weightlifting). I was aware she was a medal possibility due to her qualification ranking but I didn't realize she had a decent shot at gold. Frankly I never expected Canada to ever win gold again in that sport.

To be fair I only looked into it recently because I realized the same thing. I never expected this either!

Yeah doping bans and a qualification format that prevents a nation from competing in every event allowed her to move up the rankings. In her defense she's a pretty good weightlifter too.

She has entered the competition at 238 kg. The Colombian submitted 240 kg. She will ned to be on her best.

    • After all, Trento is the capital of Alto Adige... For me personally Trento is nicer places than Bolzano, but I haven't been there for many years, so maybe I would have a different opinion now.

    • A comeback would absolutely be doable  - Joe Pavey, Mara Yamauci  & Georgia Hunter Bell all rejoined the sport very successfully after many years out with careers or family.
    • That's great, congratulations to both of you! I wish her a good recovery. 
    • This is not a full retirement, but kind of a break/sabbatical due to...reasons.    For those who have been following @brunamoura's journey towards and last February eventually, finally, at the Olympics, this might be an interesting update. The 2030 Olympics are still in her sight, but next year's world championships in February seem...unlikely.   She still needs to do at least two surgeries, one on her nasal cavities due to a chronic inflammation that has been bothering her for years, and one on her legs. In the Olympic season she struggled immensely with pain in her legs, which in the freestyle technique made her sometimes just not even able to move and therefore finish or even start the races. The Olympic 10k freestyle was hard and painful, but she managed to get through it. We knew she was dealing with compartment syndrome, which is quite serious and certainly needs to be dealt with surgically, but the recovery time for that meant that doing so during the season would likely jeopardize the Olympics - again.   The plan was to do the surgeries this year, but that's unlikely to happen now...    
    • My admittedly tiny sample at least made it feel like the safest and nicest place     Milan....I was very glad to be out of there, Bologna almost felt even worse, and I was also happy to leave Trento behind after barely a day there   Livigno didn't feel bad like that, the issue there is that Livigno people seem to believe the world outside of Livigno doesn't really exist.   Every time I have been in South Tyrol though, it always just felt...lovely, cozy, nice, friendly, and so on.   But obviously that is all a matter of opinion. Besides that I mostly went on statistics and Alto Adige generally scoring very high in things like quality of life and low crime rates  
    • Very interesting Article, not a lot of vast shocks in it, but great that she's found some happiness. She switched allegiance to Ireland from the US quietly a few years back, but I'd say the odds on her acting on it are pretty long - still, it maybe feels like a little statement of emancipation to herself, in which case, good on her.
    • That Kazda´s first goal was also something else
