well, with Wellbrock and Romanchuk not in good shape, it would be painful for us if it's not gonna happen...

 

by the way, great win by Paltrinieri, but very disappointing performance by Detti...the 1-2 in this race was our real target after the heats...

 

Detti isn't in good shape either , but Paltenieri ofc is tha favorite for the 1500 m , these very long races he had in the 1st week didn't affect him badly for good

Ok ... how exactly are your women going to win 10 medals by themselves?

100 back + 200 back + 100 fly + 200 IM + 400 IM + 2-3 relays -> 7-8 medals

Theoretically Canada could also win medals in 50 fly, 50 back, 200 breast or 100 free, but in the last 2 events canadian athletes aren't favorites for a medal, so it is very possible that Canada ends up with "only" 9 medals on the women's side, so i am not sure why you act as if there is a guarantee that canadian women will win at least 10 medals.

 

Well, I meant that the women will win 8-9.  But you're right, Canada won 6 swimming medals back in the 70s, so technically 12 would make it double  I was talking modern times.  

 

The point still stands, Canadian women are miles ahead of the men.
