Team Canada at the 2024 World Aquatics Championships


Recommended Posts

Mixed bag so far on Day 1.

 

Jacqueline Simoneau qualified for the solo technical final, placing 3rd in prelims. 
 

On the other hand, Mia Vallee doesn’t look to be in good form, placing 15th to miss the women’s 1m springboard final.

Same spot Vallee got last year in the 1m, with much better competition. She was ok at the PanAms, but I'm not super confident for Paris.

Good news, CBC is showing the open water events this year unlike last year.

 

Bad news, they're not showing swimming heats.

Looks like Emma Finlin missed an Olympic quota by half a second. So now she needs a 800m or 1500m OQT to qualify.

 

At least Simoneau won a silver medal though.

If this was Tokyo she would have qualified, but alas more non-sensical quota cuts

Good for Simoneau, but it happened in a non-Olympic qualifying event, so I couldn’t care less to be honest. Hopefully we can qualify either a team or duet later on.

To be fair, AQUA did make a tradeoff of allowing 800m/1500m athletes with an OQT to be able to swim the open water events so we should still have 25 athletes (if not more) in each event. In previous games, there were some pool swimmers in the open water competition so ultimately there aren't really any changes in quotas. Emma is under 7 seconds back of the 1500m OQT and she just set the Canadian short course record in the event back in April so I'm optimistic that she'll be at the Olympic still.

In terms of artistic swimming Olympic qualification, do the scores count from prelims or finals?

gianlu mentioned on the artistic swimming thread that it's the sum of the finals scores

    • I love that it is more straightforward in relation to the number of quotas and does not allow possible problems as it was in Tokyo and Paris.
    • I love the judo qualification system, for me is the best in all disciplines. It combines a strong circuit, and it allows 100 or so countries to participate in.   So, maybe, if UWW does its job properly, it will be a good thing.
    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,
