Yes and no I guess. The women's sprint team was a big question mark.

There’s our surprise! this is one of my favourite events in the Olympics and so glad Canada got it’s first medal in it. 
 

That being said Kelsey Mitchell looks absolutely dynamite and it’s unfortunate she got boxed in. Hopefully she can medal in the sprint.

Canada should really be a gold medal contender in the team sprint for the next Olympics, I feel like that event is what would really play to Mitchell's strengths.

The RBC training ground program found both racers too.

 

They will need a third for Paris.

Yes after Avalon Wasteneys in rowing.

 

Mitchell looks really good. I think the sprint is up her alley and maybe she can medal there.

don't they only need two for women's sprint and three for the men? Because Lauriane and Kelsey got fourth at the last worlds in the team and it was just them

yeah we would have been a real contender here but this team only formed over past year or so and couldn't get enough points despite finishing fourth at the last worlds

These Olympics is the very last women's team sprint contested with two riders. It's a very positive change imo.

    • by the way, there are three named Reale in Italian men's sabre team, are they triplets or what?

    • Good start for Canada. Cuba seems to be our biggest threat.   Unlike the men, the United States women don't seem to be progressing. Still a few years until the Olympics.
    • Well now's time for a little summary of my experience attending Stop 1.   Overall it was a nice experience, my first time visiting that venue in particular. It brought me some memories from my time at 2011 PanAm Games, seeing athletes from many countries. Now the venue is kind of dated, and it really needs some serious maintenance. For me it was unacceptable that the restrooms for the general public were in poor conditions, and also some sections need a fresh layer of paint, not to mention the heavy layer of dust in the ceiling. Thank God no debris fall in to the pool or on the spectators, but you may see a couple of pigeons continually flying around the swimming complex, even disrupting Mark Hrytsenko's last dive in 10m platform, before being sent away by Ruslan Ternovoi.   there was a pretty large number of Chinese fans on Saturday that came to support their team with flags & banners; however, their overall conduct was very poor, most of them crossing into the "top section" denying people who paid those tickets their rightful seats, ignoring and even shoving the few security elements at the venue and disrupting the general silence by replaying videos with loud sound or standing to take pictures while the divers were competing. Not that the Mexican fans were better; at times they were very disrespectful, particularly with divers preceding local competitors, since the cheered very loudly, ignoring the results (whether bad or good) of the former.   Among my personal highlights was the fact I had the opportunity to meet the Cuevas twins, who won a silver in 3m synchro and with only 14 are considered our next big stars in this sport, and also two time Olympic medalist in 10m synchro Alejandra Orozco, who was very active during the event, often oversawing and helping in any way needed, not to mention very kind and attentive to anyone asking for a photo. Also in attendance was Olympic figure skater Donovan Carrillo, whom I also asked for a photo.   I had an opportunity to see Maddison Keeney at the small cafeteria after winning a bronze in 3m synchro; she was very polite and gracious, accepting to take photos even when she needed to take a break and finish her sandwich; that same day I ran into Moritz Wesemann on my way back to my seat after getting a beer, and on the last day I almost bumped into Jack Laugher (he was going "incognito" mode while trying to decide what to grab from the food carts outside the main building).   So in general, I had a pleasant experience and would love to attend another event in the future. To top it off, there was a brief take of me during Sunday's men's 3m finals on WA stories, which of course I've already downloaded for keeps. I hope to find some time to upload some of the pictures I took; not the ones with me & above mentioned athletes since I'm not to photogenic, but of the few photos of the competition and the practice time that I find are worthy.

    • After the first period of today's game against Spain, I had a small hope the team could fight for a medal; but it seems they will instead contest the relegation.
