Extremely bored (yet again), so I decided to do a day by day preview for Canada’s medal chances at Paris! If I’m missing anything, let me know. 

 

Day 1 (July 27)- Pamela Ware/Mia Vallee (diving- women’s 3m springboard), Summer McIntosh (swimming- women’s 400m freestyle) and our women’s 4x100m freestyle relay.

 

Day 2 (July 28)- Maggie MacNeil (swimming- women’s 100m butterfly), and maybe Eleanor Harvey?? (fencing-women’s foil)

 

Day 3 (July 29) - Arthur Margelidon (judo- men’s 73kg), Rylan Wiens/Nathan Zsombor-Murray (diving- men’s 10m synchro platform), Summer McIntosh (swimming- women’s 400m IM), Christa Deguchi (judo- women’s 57kg), and if Penny Oleksiak can find her Rio 2016/ Tokyo 2020 form coming back from surgery (swimming- women’s 200m freestyle)

 

Day 4 (July 30) - Francois Gauthier Drapeau (judo- men’s 81kg), Catherine Beauchemin Pinard (judo- women’s 63kg), Kylie Masse (swimming- women’s 100m backstroke)

 

Kylie Masse has had a rough year, but you can never count her out during the Olympics. 
 

Day 5 (July 31)- Penny Oleksiak (swimming- women’s 100m freestyle), Illya Kharun (swimming- men’s 200m butterfly), Josh Liendo (swimming- men’s 100m freestyle)

 

Day 6 (August 1) - Kyle Reyes (judo- men’s -100kg), Evan Dunfee (athletics- men’s 20km race walk), Summer McIntosh (swimming- women’s 200m butterfly), and our women’s 4x200m freestyle relay. 

 

Day 7 (August 2) - Mo Ahmed (athletics-men’s 10,000m), Josh Liendo (swimming- men’s 50m freestyle), Kylie Masse (swimming- women’s 200m backstroke), Sophiane Methot (trampoline gymnastics- women’s individual), Jill Moffatt/Jenny Casson (rowing- women’s lightweight double sculls)

 

Day 8 (August 3) - Ellie Black (artistic gymnastics- women’s apparatus finals), Pierce LePage and Damian Warner (athletics- men’s decathlon), Josh Liendo (swimming- men’s 100m butterfly), Summer McIntosh (swimming- women’s 200m IM), and our women’s eights.

 

Day 9 (August 4) - Ellie Black (artistic gymnastics- women’s apparatus finals), Ethan Katzberg (athletics- men’s hammer throw), Andre DeGrasse (athletics- men’s 100m), and our women’s 4x100m medley relay.

 

Day 10 (August 5) - Ellie Black (artistic gymnastics- women’s apparatus finals), and our women’s 3x3 team.

 

Day 11 (August 6) - Camryn Rogers (athletics- women’s hammer throw), Sarah Douglas (sailing- women’s dinghy), Caeli McKay (diving-

women’s 10m platform)

Day 12 (August 7) - Literally nothing. 
 

Day 13 (August 8) - Katie Vincent/Sophia Jensen (canoe sprint- women’s C2-500m), Andre DeGrasse (athletics- men’s 200m), Skylar Park (taekwondo- women’s 57kg), Kelsey Mitchell/Lauraine Genest (track cycling- women’s keirin), Maude Charron (weightlifting- women’s 59kg), Ana Godinez (wrestling- women’s 53kg)

 

Day 14 (August 9) - Sarah Mitton (athletics- women’s shot put), men’s 4x100m relay, Charlie Cavanaugh (boxing- women’s 66kg), Katie Vincent (canoe sprint- women’s C1 200m), Pamela Ware and Mia Vallee (diving- women’s 3m springboard)

 

Day 15 (August 10) - Cam Levins (athletics- men’s marathon), Mo Ahmed (athletics- men’s 5000m), Marco Arop (athletics- men’s 800m), women’s 4x400m relay, men’s basketball team, Philip Kim (breaking- B-Boys), Tammara Thibeault (boxing- women’s 76kg), Karla Godinez (wrestling- women’s 62kg)

 

Day 16 (August 11) - Women’s basketball team, Kelsey Mitchell and Lauriane Genest (track cycling- women’s sprint), Justina Di Stasio (wrestling- women’s 76kg)

 

Left out tennis, right now Canada isn’t in the best state, although the Olympics do tend to have some surprise medalists. Best chance would IMO be Dabrowski/Fernandez in women’s doubles, but don’t see it happening. FAA (not this version), Fernandez (not this version either), and a fully healthy Andresscu should all have chances though. 

 

Women’s football medal matches take place from August 9 (BMM) to 10 (GMM).

 

Women’s beach volleyball medal matches take place on either August 9 or 10, dates are still TBD.

Great job putting this together! I'm hopeful that there's a few other surprises that come about. Maybe Jeremie Chartier on trampoline? I'm also not giving up on the men's 4x100m freestyle winning a medal (that would be a great first day tbh).
