2024 Olympics - Day 4 (July 30)


Recommended Posts

Quite a good day overall I would say.

 

Dissapointing day in judo and in volleyball (though, tbh, our men's volleyball is sort of a hot mess and probably lucky just to qualify xD ), otherwise I think everything was at or above expectations.

It just feels like a let down compared to yesterday - super happy about the Rugby silver, Eric Peters and making it further in tennis and of course Kharun. Disappointed that Kylie only managed a bronze. 

 

While I'm super happy that the gymnasts did well enough to be proud of I was really hoping Ellie Black would pick up a medal this Olympics.

Yeah, rugby by far went above and beyond expectations and was super exciting to watch. Judo was a disappointment though. 2nd and 5th ranks walk away with nothing. Not even fighting for bronze. 

 

I'm just a bit concerned about the swim team though. I guess they're basically where we could have guessed, but no one is really stepping up (besides Summer, obviously). MSH's 4th was good, but other results have been lukewarm. Masse and MacNeil were 50/50 for the podium, and both missed. Liendo's freestyle was yikes. Relays were meh. Kharun is also a bright spot so far, but we'll see what happens tomorrow. If Summer is the only one to get medals here, a complete evaluation of the team will be needed.

Canada has 6 medals so far (we had 8 after day 4 I'm Tokyo)

One of those was softball and the other was weightlifting (which is later in the program this year). If you take those two out, it's the same.

Yeah, but softball isn't in Paris and Charron hasn't competed yet. So those 2 are sort of "accounted for". 

 

Edit: What's sort of concerning is that 4 of those medalists from Tokyo were here in Paris but didn't repeat. Repeats are hard of course, but it does speak to the longevity of some of our "stars" and programs.

Since the program is different relative to 2020, I usually like to compare to which events have been completed in both editions.

 

Using the current completed events, Canada in 2020 would have had 1G-3S-3B. We are down one medal. Unsurprisingly, swimming is behind. So is judo, but they could go even once the program is completed.

The men looked really good in VNL... but a lot of teams were treating VNL like an Olympics pre-season, so, yeah, a bit misleading

    • I think the reason is that it's generally preferable to have a fast shooter in the 1st leg, and especially in the prone shooting, where Hofer is quite slow.   Now, I'm not saying I agree with the choice, because I don't. I think it's going to neutralize Giacomel's skiing skills in the 1st lap at least.   I guess the idea is to try and set a very fast pace in the 1st leg, which is usually quite tactical, but I'm afraid that's going to force Giacomel to risk too much because he will feel he has to make some time somehow.   Regardless, Italy must be on the podium tomorrow. I think that would be crucial for the following races as well. I think France is the clear favorite, but the other teams are not stronger than Italy on paper.
