Today is the day, my first out of 16 (?) Canadian daily medal chances previews! I’m sure it’s what everyone has been waiting for! :roflmao::rofl::rofl:(… kidding :p)

 

Unfortunately, they’re not going to be as long as usual, as I don’t have the time. So without further ado, here it is.

 

Canadian Olympic Medal Chances Day 1 Preview

By far our biggest and most likely medal hope on Day 1 when teen sensation Summer McIntosh will hit the pool for the women’s 400m freestyle final at 11:52 AM/3:52 PM (most likely), but first she’ll have to navigate her way through the heats, hers starts at 2:18 AM/5:18 AM. Couple of outside medal chances as well,  with Cordano Russell in men’s street (heat at 6:08 AM/9:08 AM, final at 8:00 AM/11:00 AM), women’s 4x100m freestyle relay (our heat at 3:20am, final at 12:34 PM/3:34 PM), and men’s 4x100m freestyle relay (our heat at 3:31 AM/6:31 AM, final at 12:44 PM/3:44 PM)

 
Let me know if you actually want more of these ;)

Canada's badminton uniforms are some weird Mondrian inspired geometry. Bad and bizarre

Can you take a screenshot? I’m not watching at the moment, and I’m curious :d
 

I’m surprised you’re watching them actually, we’re taking on a pairing that we have a 0% chance against.

    • Team Size Prediction for Winter Olympic Games 2026 Milano Cortina   Let's do this for a country that is not actually that good in winter sports as well as our Olympic Committee Declining lots of places.

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
