I don't know for sure, but I think nowadays she has to be based with their team (where she also has a very good training partner/opponent in Jess Klimkait in the same weight class and Catherine Beauchemin-Pinard in the -63kg class)...

 

of course it's not like in Japan, but Canada are enjoying quite a good team in recent times (also among the men)...

 

they've won a lot of medals in the IJF World Tour in the last few seasons (and also this morning Constantin Gabun had a very good tournament and lost only at the Golden Score against Orujov in the round of last 16, after beating in the earlier fight the Pole Wiktor Mrowczynski), which is quite a good first step towards building a winning team also in the global events...

 

so, maybe Canadian Judo it's not a big deal, but for sure it's "a respectable thing"...;)

 

I just rewatched the final and our expert Tomasz Adamiec (former EC bronze medallist) says she lives in Japan full-time and is actually disliked by the Canadians because she allegedly takes the place away from Jessica Klimkait (at least for the Olympics anyway).

Canada may not be at the top of the judo world, but they are on pace to send one of the larger teams to the Olympics, including currently having a team for the team event. I'd classify them as a "second tier" nation in judo, definitely not on the tier of Japan/Brazil/Russia etc.

Gabun was a last minute competitor. He replaced Antoine Bouchard who for some reason or another withdrew.

:hairpull: my reaction when Fujiwara made a mistake in last 10 seconds.

 

De Wit and Albayrak are also out. all seeded athletes in bottom half except for guess who, Muki !

 

it seems even if Mollaei wins his own matches, (which is a big IF, considering his 3rd and 4rd round opponents) he has to lose/forfeit somewhere unless someone stops Muki  who is in a great shape.

Commentator on the IJF stream is not so familiar with flags...."Guam's Andrew against Cumbo of Venezuela"

 

Minor detail, this was Cumbo's flag: :VAN

    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind , 
    • The rankings look likely to give two spots each in the men's side to Egypt (2nd athlete at 3) and GB (second athlete at 9). the nearest contender after that is France and both Egypt and GB have plenty of contenders after their respective number 2 but before France's umber 2   Women's side looks a bit more of a battle, with Egypt again likely to provide 2, and then a fight between USA, GBR and BEL for the other lucky double spot. That said, so dominant are the Egyptians, Americans and Brits, that failing to find all the contenders in the top 50 is entirely plausible, possibly opening a third 'double' spot.
    • I'd done my final revisions on my prediction spreadsheets.. and I'm sticking with 26 for Canada.    Take it to the bank! (But don't sign anything)
