[LDOG 2,468]

The men's volleyball roster is stronger than I expected, I think they are favorite for gold now.

 sailor withdrawn due to injury, unlikely to be replaced, which means sailing is down to 27 noc's

 

Athletics/Swimming =38

Taekwondo = 29

Weightlifting 28

Sailing =27

Yes; Swimming will not have  ,  and  (and presumably  )

Athletics is missing 3, and presumably one of those is

Apparently  women's soccer team is either out or about to drop out, and at this stage unlikely they would be replaced

Also it looks like Canada's grip on trampoline may also be at risk here

I see  challenging for a medal in men's trampoline, and  and maybe  in women's trampoline, so  will have a hard time, for sure.

 

Now, the men's artistic team is pretty strong and could realistically win the team event depending on who will compete for  and . The women's team will have trouble finishing in the top 3, since on paper  are stronger. I'd say that even with Black, the women's team would have a hard time earning bronze (but one can never be sure with Mexico, who had a great competition at the Pan Am Championships and a somewhat bad one at the World Championships).

I'm telling you from top to bottom Panamsports is the most incompetent organization I have seen.

You clearly haven’t attempted to interact with the OCA enough, or watched their events.

 

Honestly, Athletics Canada seems equally responsible in this case. I do feel like PanamSports has managed quota distribution poorly this cycle, however.

[intoronto 6,407]

 has 7 as their team size, with a possibility of 2 more (unlikely, but you never know)

Breakdown:

 

Athletics 1

Swimming 2

Boxing 1

Tennis 1

Sailing 2 

 

The other two quotas would be in boxing and swimming
