Isn't Detroit to the North of Canada?

Only a very small portion of Canada is south of Detroit (Maybe 30 mile strip of land). If you are speaking in general, then Detroit is south of Canada.

Just referencing that when you cross the Ambassador bridge you go North to enter the US and South to enter Canada.

Yes, you are correct. The ambassador bridge runs north & south.

Here is my team size predictions for Canada:

Sports Canada will not compete in: Handball, modern pentathlon. Still possible for no qualifiers in surfing and karate.

 

Artistic swimming: 8 (confirmed)

Diving: 9 (Could be 8, but I predict 9, 4 men and 5 women)

Swimming: 26-30 (hard to tell, due to the nature of the trials). 
Water polo: 12 (confirmed)

Archery 4 (I predict the men's team will qualify)

Athletics: 50 (47 have qualified at the moment, 25 women and 22 men). 50 is a conservative estimate

Badminton: 8 (confirmed, 1 entry in each event)

Basketball: 12 (women's team confirmed)

Boxing: 4 (3 women, qualified, one man is on the ranking list, does not include Mandy Bujold)

Canoeing: 18-19 (4 in slalom and 14-15 in sprint, depending if LVL gets a quota)

Cycling: 21-22 (Road:5, track: 13, mountain biking: 3, 1 in bmx tbc)

Equestrian: 6 (confirmed)

Fencing: 9 (confirmed)

Field hockey: 16 (confirmed)

Football: 18 (confirmed)

Golf: 4 (all but confirmed)

Gymnastics: 6 (5 in artistic + 1 in trampoline, not expecting anymore)

Judo: 6-7 (73kg, 81 kg, 90kg and 100 kg for men and 52, 57 and 63 for women; right now 90kg is out, but if 52kg does well at the worlds, he would be in). 

Karate: 0-3 (3 athletes in contention for spots at the final qualifier)
Rowing: 29 (confirmed)

Rugby: 24 (confirmed)

Sailing: 9 (confirmed)

Shooting: 1 (confirmed)

Skateboarding: 0-2 (2 currently in qualification, just barely). 

Softball: 15 (confirmed)

Sport climbing: 2 (confirmed)

Surfing: 0-1 (final qualifiers tbc)

Table tennis: 3 (confirmed)

Taekwondo: 1-2 (still awaiting confirmation on reallocation for 49kg)

Tennis: 6 (Raonic. Shapovalov, Auger-Alliasiame, Andrescu, Dabrowski and Fichman), hoping for more, but I think this is it

Triathlon: 3 (1 women, 2 men)

Volleyball: 18 (men's indoor, 2 pairs in women's and 1 in men's for beach)

Weightlifting: 3 (2 women and 1 man)

Wrestling: 4 (confirmed)

 

At a minimum: 361 qualified, could be as high as 375, either number would be national record in a non-home/boycotted games, not to mention below, which with luck can bring the team size into the 400's!

 

 

TBD:

Men's basketball (12 athletes)

Men's baseball (24 athletes)

Men's 3x3 (4 athletes)

Thanks for putting this together! This is really fantastic and great showing for Canadian athletes. I share your optimism about the archery team.

 

I'm assuming that it'll be a no on LVL's quota in canoe?

Yea, but they are working the ICF overtime for the extra spot. In theory they could name LVL in the kayak event and ask the ICF to compete in the C2 (not sure if that is even possible), because they have 5 athlete spots for 4 athletes (their k2 athletes are not going to qualify).

LOL! She would need to compete in the Kayak event though then, right? That would be some work around of the rules.

 

On another note after the last chance qualifier I'm feeling rather optimistic about the rowing team surprising in the summer. They seemed to have trained very well for this last meet.

Good luck for Basketball, hoping that home court works in your favor.  As for baseball, it's a shame that at most 2 can qualify between USA, CUB and CAN.

    • 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 chances 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 smal/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)
    • was also invited to the special edition of the Bolivarian Games and seems like  is not participating.
    • Yeah this was amazing, the entire weekend was one massive rollercoaster every which way for everyone
