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.

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.

    • Alix Klineman has also announced her retirement following the conclusion of the AVP League    https://www.instagram.com/reel/DB9CZwrPfqj/?igsh=MTZiaDk0NndmaTAzcQ==   What a sad year for beach volleyball, with Brouwer, Meeuwsen, Ludwig, Bobner, Pavan, and now these two retiring. 
    • It's good that Argentina is starting to get back on track economically. Every year, all of our alpine skiing teams train in August in Argentina in Ushuaia: "Fine del Mundo", as it advertises itself.
    • The relation of Trump with Russia and, more specific, with Putin is probably the most controversial (being generous) thing of the presidence of Trump, i dont believe the same but is clearly that China help democrats in that election, both are playing their games.   In Argentina the society is clearly divided, the people who are in the left side of the politics, peronist and kirchnerism are very against the goverment, propably the only genuine "rigth-wing" goverment since the recovery of the democracy in 1983. For me and the most part who are in the rigth wing: libertarians, nacionalist and conservatives, is probably the best goverment we see to this days, he made in his first year with a very few legislators in the congress some big and good changes:   1) In the economical: the inflation is only 3% per month since a more of 15% in the last months of the last year, Argentina has now fiscal, financial and comercial surplus-   2) Our country didnt have fighter planes and the goverment buy 24  American F16  -   3) He changes the electoral sistem for a "single ballot" sistem, we have an obsolete electoral sistem that doesnt change from the 19 century and specially, the peronist use for make fraud.   4) In my personal case, he really update the tax sistem for small/medium profesionals and traders.......and that save us to pay the 50% of our earnings to the state.   With a big expectations in the goverment, its better than i thinked before.
    • It could be better, or it could be much worse, for example, if the accusations that he has been accepting large amounts of money from Russia since 2017 are confirmed. Now let Harris win, which will end Trump's political career and I hope that in 4 years the Republicans will put up someone more predictable.     btw, how is this controversial president of Argentina doing?
    • More predictable is not always better, for me the goverment of Biden was one of the worst of the History of USA and i cant imagine what can happen with even a worse version like Harris is.   I hope, for the contrary, Trump be elected and "may be" the things changes for the better in the world.
    • I once read that Harris had never been to Europe before 2020, when she became vice president. On the other hand, her foreign policy will be more predictable, because it will be a continuation of Biden's policies. That is why I hope Harris wins, although the bookmakers are betting on Trump.
    • Harris is totally green on foreign policy. It will probably be a policy 100% led by Biden's people. Harris' main campaign emphasis is on abortion and women's rights.
    • So much for "everybody's laughing at us if we elect Harris"
    • My favorite tennis tournaments of the year (wta/atp finals)
