Just curious. Any Male medal winners till now?


 

None. I think that is a sign Canada's success is mainly because many countries do not invest in women's sports like Men's. If Canada wants to be more competitive in men's it will need to spend more as there is more competition vs 20 years ago.

Another issue is that Canada still heavily relies on universities to give their athletes competitive practice. Men tend to peak later in life and unless they are trying to get a masters/PhD degree they are no longer part of that system.

I'm hopi

After a big day yesterday, Day 5 looks to be a lot quieter. Our best chance likely comes in rowing (women's double sculls). Additionally, swimming has two more medal chances (women's 200m freestyle & women's 200m individual medley).

I'm hoping the momentum from Day 4 will carry over to Day 5 as well. Agreed that the medal chances aren't particularly as strong but there are possibilities. 

 

Curious how this mixed doubles tennis will go...is the Greece team good together or are they seeded because of their combine individual ranking?

They are seeded based on their combined ranking. Both play singles with Sakkari never playing doubles in one of the four majors.

 

Canada has more experience in doubles so the upset potential is there, but Greece could very well win based on their individual strength.

Individual rankings... plus both have matches right before the mixed doubles match so they will be tired.

Just realized men only won medals in one sport (trak and field) last time out, equestrian is mixed. Wow this is a huge problem in Canadian sport. I hope OTP has a plan to fix it.

Outside of throwing more money at the problem I don't think OTP has the capabilities of fixing the problem. The way the organization is ran is that they incentivize easier to win medals. At best, they can mandate that funding must be equally spent on both genders.

    • I read now that Valentina Rodini will be in the new team of Tizzano + Galtarossa and Martini. I was probably in such an information bubble on Instagram that I thought that only Abbagnale was running a campaign and had a team of people around him. That's why I was surprised by his defeat + the fact that, for example, Rodini supports his rival. But as I wrote, for me the change in the general coach position is a plus. We need a new opening and a new impulse: Cattaneo had his best results in Tokyo and then he only explained that his rowers were running away abroad to the USA to study and that's why he had worse results. Ok, except that it's the same in Romania and Greece but they results are comparable or better. It's obvious that no one here will make the UK or the Netherlands, because we don't have such resources and money but I think we can repeat the Romanian results (2 gold - 3 silver in Paris) and that will be a much better result than the 2 silver in this year.
    • Abbagnale boasted that he had 80 per cent a few days before the vote (I still have the screen) and ran again as a result of a power deal. Not a great loss.   I have doubts about the new technical director though, you can't announce him during the congress, brandishing the scalp of the Abbagnale era technical staff (who then, were Crispi's men). Let's hope there are no rifts between the new staff and the athletes, it had to be handled better.
    • I was surprised by Abbagnale's defeat. I thought he was a sure of victory, since he decided to run - I read some source that he didn't know if he would start before Paris 2024. What do you think about it?

    • Cattaneo was good but his peak was in Tokyo 2021. Then there was such stabilization - stagnation. In Paris the result was in line with expectations but without the wow effect. They threw everything that was best into the quadruple sculls and it was enough for a only silver. Now without the lightweight sculls in LA I think that radical changes are needed to remain competitive. Previously there was a 3-year Olympic cycle due to Covid, so big changes weren`t good but now I think the time is right. Although of course more funds are needed for this sport in Italy, because even the best coach will not overcome this vel our men`s alpine skiing sector
    • @Gianlu33 we posted the same (great) news at the same time  
    • Davide Tizzano (1996 Olympic Champion, men's double sculls) is the new President of the Italian Federation, as he defeated the (now former) President Giuseppe Abbagnale by a very small margin (52% to 48%) in last week's federal elections   and he's already at work to make up for the last 8 disappointing years (at least in terms of Olympic success): his first move is bringing back home  Antonio Colamonaci  who made  great in the past 8 years   https://www.oasport.it/2024/11/canottaggio-cambia-la-direzione-tecnica-dellitalia-arriva-il-guru-che-ha-reso-grande-la-romania/   let's see if he can make  great again, now
