What is a rather unlikely Paris 2024 qualification quota / medal for your NOC, you would cherish the most?

[rafalgorka 1,544]

From the top of my head:

 

 

Qualification: M basketball, W handball

 

Medal: Norbert Kobielski (Athletics, M High Jump) - any medal, first HJ medal since 1996, Artur Partyka

W K4 500m (Canoe Sprint) - gold, first ever for POL canoeing

[rafalgorka 1,544]

I would also add a medal for Michał Kwiatkowski in Road Cycling - M Road Race and a qualification for M handball team

[hoversaBR 441]

I think that for quotas it would be men's basketball.

 

For unlikely but not impossible medals, I would be happy with Hugo Calderano's medal in table tennis, Hidalgo or Messias in triathlon or the women's handball team.

Quota; Women's volleyball team. Men's and Women's field hockey

 

Medal: Any Canadian male medal not in athletics. In Rio and Tokyo Canadian men did not win medals outside of athletics.

As for quotas, it’s an easy one, our women’s volleyball team. 
 

As for medalists, it’s quite unlikely, but probably our men’s volleyball team. If we played like we did in the Olympic Qualifiers, we might have a chance at a minor medal. Other ones would be FAA in men’s singles tennis (without 2022 RG I wouldn’t be including him), and Erin Brooks in women’s shortboard surfing (but she’ll need to get her citizenship in time to compete at the 2024 ISA Surf Games)

 

Edit: Another qualification hope is our men’s epee team and our men’s waterpolo team, but again quite unlikely. @rafalgorka

Added men’s epee team to qualification hopes, and removed men’s waterpolo as we’re already eliminated from contention.

Good chance for a male medal in artistic gymnastics, judo, swimming, basketball, tennis and boxing. Maybe even wrestling or archery.

Notice how we’re all choosing team sports

Literally every single quota and/or medal 

[phelps 7,685]
