145 quotas, 6 months out from Paris 2024, sounds good, but from a Canadian perspective it’s absolutely terrible. Although I was never expecting to match our Tokyo 2020 number (381, our highest ever) with the quotas being reduced significantly, there’s been a number of Olympic qualification events in which we’ve either underperformed or just barely failed to secure a quota. 
 

- Wrestling Worlds, we were expecting quotas in all 6 events, instead we ended up with none. 
 

- Ran Sevens Men’s Olympic Qualifier, lost 14-24 to United States in the final. 

 

- Women’s Volleyball Olympic Qualifying Tournament, finished at 5-2 along with Serbia but they took second spot over us as they had more points. 
 

- Rowing Worlds, Canada has been on a decline, but was expecting more than two quotas (somewhere between 3-4)

 

- Modern Pentathlon at the Pan Am Games, now normally I wouldn’t have high expectations for one of our worst sports but Kelly Fitzsimmons was actually in the lead heading into the laser run portion of the final (and in a really great position for one of two quotas, I believe she was over 20 points ahead of the second NORCECA athlete) but blew it with incredibly poor shooting 

I think this time Canada will be end up behind Brazil and Spain in terms of the number of athletes

Women’s hockey team fail to qualify. Archery Team chances are also looking slim. Our contingent size going to reduce from Tokyo .

Same with South Korea this will be our smallest team since like 1984

At the beginning of the year, I predicted Lithuania to qualify 61 athletes. The biggest factors will be whether or not you guys can qualify a men's basketball team, a men's 3x3 basketball team and a men's 4x200m relay in swimming. 

I don't think the men's basketball team is making it,tonight was embarassing

During the "100 days to go" special press conference of our NOC, among other stuff like presentation of the Slovak Olympic House, the Olympic festival in Bratislava during the games and other nice activities and programs the guys also stated the obvious fact we will send the smallest team ever to the Olympics since the independence (winter and summer games included)...but also a quite competitive (without announcing any special medal expectations though)

 

however, they are apparently expecting 30 athletes in Paris... I really do not know from which hat they are going to pull them though... because IF IT will be just let say close to 30 they will certainly already deserve to be called magicians... personally I do not believe we will exceed 20 athletes, maybe by 1 or 2 in case of reallocations or unlikely invitations for our nice eyes, if you ask me

 Will probably end up with around 165-170 odd athletes. Our smallest since Athens. No womens hockey, a reduced rowing squad with no eights. Will probably reject a few quotas and they'll get allocated elsewhere as we are the gift that keeps on giving. Just looking at who qualified and what I think we will reject quota in, it will probably be Archery (2), Artistic Swimming (maybe?) (2), Taekwondo (2) and 1-2 Shooting quotas that will get allocated
