Plus obviously the 4x200m medley relays, men, women and mixed. Edited July 30, 2023 by heywoodu Josh 1 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Kind of depressing for the other countries that Canada wins bronze without having a decent breast/free leg. Definitely agree that it was surprising. That being said, I believe our breaststroke issue has been fixed. Angus split a 1:06 mid during both the prelims and finals, so if she can replicate it during the Olympics (+ Oleksiak gets back into peak form) then we could challenge Australia/United States/China for gold/silver/bronze.

Reveal hidden contents For full medal saturation they should just add the short course swimming events during the second week of the Olympics. Followed by the 4x50 medley relays...followed by THE OMNIUM = the 8 x 50, 8 x 100 mixed medley ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely don't see that happening. USA and Australia would have to massively underperform. I think beating China will be enough of a task for Canada.

Maybe a 50/100/200/400/800/1500 free/100/200 breast/back/fly/200/400 IM mixed medley relay ... I would give the honor of finishing 16th to New Zealand, since they won a medal (women's 400 free), unlike Spain.

Quite surprising that the Netherlands was so close to Italy and that Japan finished ahead of France. Japan for sure has the worst points to medals ratio. More points than France, but 1/3 of the medals of Tunisia ... Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

OlympicsFan 791 Posted July 31, 2023 #760 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Also interesting: Olympic events without an australian finalist: 6 Olympic events without an american finalist: 1 (Smith missed the men's 400 free final by 0.34 seconds) Olympic events with 2 australian finalists: 9 Olympic events with 2 american finalists: 19 Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.
