Ya, that doesn't make any sense. If they were sending two athletes they should have accepted only two quotas.

 

Someone must have made a mistake somewhere.

Yea very odd. And this screws JJA out of a 7th Olympics.

Do you think Canada may name more PGS athletes later? I wonder if they prepared the press release and forgot to edit it or something because to only send 2 athletes when we could send 7 seems wrong.

Just confirmed with SC that this is the final team and only 2 were selected based on selection criteria. So they pulled a Netherlands.

 

But this doesn't explain why they accepted an additional women's quota knowing no one would be able to meet it. Bizarre if you ask me.

Weird - we don't normally see this from Canada. Accepting the quota is just strange.

I think we've rejected more quotas than the Netherlands this cycle :lol:. Does anyone know if we'll end up returning them or if they'll just become wasted quotas?

Are we guessing who will be the Opening Ceremonies flag bearer yet?  It should be announced pretty soon.  

 

My guess is Justin Kripps.  Defending gold medalist, strong medal contender in two events in Beijing and doesn't compete until later in the schedule.  

 

What are your picks?

Due to covid I don't think he will be there.

 

My guess would be Kaitlyn Lawes and one of the men's hockey players

    • yeah you are right there but again diffrence between being a runner who has her own event, plenty of events can happen there,and being a pole vaulter that has his own event,that goes on it's own,i mean mondo's shown he can run so i guess some sprinting events could take place there but still but i get your point
    • Yeah but you have things like the Keely Klassic which was not all female 800m races.  
    • ''PV Only'-''mondo classic'',feel like it's a bit pointless to even say pv only,it's kinda obvious lol.knew this was happening but seriously waiting for this,especially since i'll be able to watch it live,so glad eurovision sport is so easy to get access to.
    • One more big European meet before the Worlds, the Mondo Classic from Uppsala = PV only - tomorrow night.   Eurovision Sport | Uppsala | Mondo Classic
    • WEDNESDAY 12 MARCH   Switzerland-Slovakia 4-3 Germany-Great Britain 4-3 Netherlands-Slovakia 11-0   Slovakia will finish on fifth place after losing their 4 matches. We will know the finalists tomorrow.   If two teams ends up on the same points, the mutual match between the two teams will be decisive for their placements. If 3 teams ends up on the same points, the goal difference in the matches between only these three teams will be decisive.
    • Oh, how nice, i didn't know. Yes, we like Italians very much, similar emotionality? Ways of expressing? Sth like this. As to Russia and Germany. The things they had really done to us are pretty unbelievable and unforgivable. I think that most people in Europe know this in theory, we felt it in reality. But we still try not to cross borders, we don't live with hatered. Maybe we should. When my mom was telling me real facts from WWII in Poland well...i was close to be ready for revenge on some Germans. But its not Polish charachteristic, maybe our mistake. And yes, Poland was peaceful internaly up to some 2007/8. Then PiS started to divide this nation, telling who is Polish who is not etc. You are either a real Pole Cathol or traitor left wing gay. Luckily they had lost but our nation is strongly divided, like two nations. We all miss this old united Poland but are living like enemies. Really. Both camps see this second as national traitors, idiots of Kaczyński or Tusk (go to Berlin etc). Probably foreigners are free of this but Poland has changed through those years. Italy seems to be lovely place to live. Not ideal, impossible, but lovely. 👍 Btw, our prime minister already in Ankara 🙂🙂. To be true we made historical mistakes. Our neighbours were in bad position, we were like empire. But were to slavic, to naive. We created some of our neighbours, lost Ukrainiians to Russia so it is not bad luck, rather bad mistakes.
