Canada can only enter a max of 130 athletes (minus para sport) across these sports at Birmingham 2022:

 

Is there a list per nation anywhere or did you only get Canada's quotas?

 

Yeah, the athlete quota is very tight at the Commonwealth Games

I got Canada's directly from the CGA

 

It is very tight. No clue how they will do it... 

 

Judo usually sends a B team, so maybe they might not compete in the sport all together.

 

Id also expect B teams in Athletics and swimming

Normally I don't think they send a B team in swimming, but given there are worlds in 2022 they probably will.

Incoming less than 10 gold.

Cycling Canada has 14 slots. 

 

Id suspect:

 

Endurance men: 4 slots

Endurance women: 4 slots

Sprint men: 1 spot

Sprint women: 3 spots 

 

Mountain biking: 1 in each men and women.

 

No road cycling specific quotas.

Do we have enough talent to justify a third sprint women? Will the sprint team be three people? I guess at that point the 14th quota probably doesn't have much of a chance at winning a medal (unless they can convince Michael Woods to compete in the road race) so it may go to whoever is having a good season.

I think the women's team sprint will be 3 athletes.

OTP also takes into account athletes with potential so while diving had a poor Olympics, they're still one of the strongest teams for Canada, especially now that the men are on an upswing. They may suffer cuts because they were getting a lot of money for a relatively small team, but I don't see it being a whole lot.

 

Tennis is an interesting sport where most of the money goes to training young players rather than going to our top players. Golf is sort of in the same boat. OTP's mission is to increase the medal count at the Olympics so in that way I can see those sports receiving less funding, but if they want to encourage/inspire people to take up sport, I can see why they may keep the funding.
