Josh 6,807 Posted February 4 Author #11 Share Posted February 4 (edited) Don’t see us qualifying any athletes in open water this time around. Sure, Finlin is 6 seconds away from the OQS in the women’s 1500m freestyle, so not too far away but I don’t see it happening. What a terrible Olympic qualification period we’ve had so far. Kate Miller doesn’t look like she’ll secure a second quota for Canada in women’s 10m platform either Edited February 4 by Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surlympics 281 Posted February 5 #13 Share Posted February 5 So Canada finished fourth in the team acrobatic routine . Does that count towards the team qualifying for the Olympics or is it only the free and technical routines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The acrobatic routine is also being added to the Olympics in 2024, so the team event will have three phases instead of two. Surlympics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshMartini007 2,295 Posted February 5 #17 Share Posted February 5 Canada is in the hunt, but it won't take much to become the first nation outside qualification. If recover in the technical finals, we may end up regretting losing to at the Pan American Games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that means Canada is in a good spot to qualify right now then Canada has a shot, but it's still going to be a hard shot. They did what they had to do so far, but it's just three out of six routines. Surlympics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh 6,807 Posted February 6 Author #19 Share Posted February 6 (edited) 20-5 win for Canada over Great Britain to improve to 2-0 in women’s waterpolo pool play! Big game coming up against Italy, a win would advance them directly through to the quarterfinals where they would most likely play Greece. A loss, and a likely visit with New Zealand in the playoffs, followed by a likely visit with Spain in the quarterfinals. So not a path we’d want to take.

Josh 6,807 Posted February 6 Author #20 Share Posted February 6 (edited) After 2/3 team finals in artistic gymnastics, Canada is 4th in Olympic qualification with 475.4917 points. Likely going to come down to a three-way battle between them, Italy (474.1684), and Ukraine (450.0342, but are the reigning World bronze medalists) for the quotas. Japan aren’t safe in 3rd (482.6201) either, although probably would need a benchmark to fall out of a qualifying position. Free prelims are on Wednesday, followed by free finals on Friday where the Olympic quotas will be awarded.
