Yes and in Beijing 2008 we went eight days without even one medal! I think we got our first in wrestling on Day 8

And the country was TESTY about it!

Now that we are done a full week, let's compare our performance relative to 2020.

 

Sport 2020 2024
Athletics 6 -
Canoeing 2 -
Cycling 2 -
Diving 1 1
Fencing - 1
Football 1 -
Gymnastics - 1
Judo 2 1
Rowing 2 -
Rugby Sevens - 1
Softball 1 -
Swimming 6 5
Tennis - 1
Weightlifting 1 -
Total 24 11

Obviously some sports (athletics, canoeing, cycling, weightlifting) haven't started or barely started so there isn't much to comment. Additionally, softball isn't held this time, but the medal won at rugby sevens sort of replaces that. One thing I've noticed is we've won medals in four sports (fencing, gymnastics, rugby sevens, tennis) in which we didn't medal in 2020.

 

In diving, we already matched our performance in 2020 so anything more in the individual events would be a bonus.

 

In football, we've reached the quarterfinals and are still in the hunt for a medal. The match against Germany will be tough, but if we can beat France then we have a chance. Even if we do fail we also have a chance in basketball so we may end up matching our team sport medals

 

Judo unfortunately will likely see a decrease in medals won. There's still the mixed team, but I don't fancy our chances.

 

Rowing we only have one boat remaining in the medal hunt so we are going to perform worse than expected. It will be worse if our women's eights fail to medal too.

 

With some medal chances tomorrow I feel confident we will at least match our swimming total. McIntosh has replaced our relay team dropping to fourth. Things were looking a bit dicey, but medals from Kharun and Masse has turned this into an okay showing. Personally I was expecting 6-8 medals.

Are we on pace to surpass Tokyos gold and total counts?

I think so, we still have plenty of chances. My original prediction was around 25 medals and I don't see why we can't reach that.

I agree.  As a Canadian I am patriotic. Hopeful but the cynic in me is worried we will not match last olympic medal count.  First, all the predictions  have Canada earning less medals. Second, we really have not increased our stars with new stars. Sure we have a few ie Summer McIntosh but  rowing, and athletics we are weaker for sure.   Looks like Damian Warner is in trouble and we don't have his teammate here so that could be two medals down. Andre D. is not even favoured to win any medal here.  Its asking a lot for women's soccer to medal after the huge penalty they received.  We just lost the 10000k race and the swimming relays have had at at least two fourths.  Canada won two bronze in trampoline and tennis which were nice surprises but they need a few more medals from surprise sources if they are going to beat last olympic medal count.

      I thought that was the case.  I just started watching skimo last year, but even then, I didn't recognize any of the women.  I recognized the top Swiss guy, I think.

      Qualification status that could realistically change this week, barring (except where noted) new time qualifying performances :   Men   500m : pretty much done   1000m : pretty much done   1500m : pretty much done   5000m : one outlier at the moment  Semirunniy. He's currently not qualified for the distance being 18/15 in the rankings and R1 time-wise. He could still punch his ticket :    either by getting into the top 15 with a very good result (a podium or even a win would be needed). If it is at the expanse of  Henriksen or, less likely,  Swings, then the loser is out. If it is at the expanse of any other, then  Sasaki is out.  or by hoping Lorello gets into the top 15 at the expanse of Henriksen or Swings. or by going faster than Sasaki (6'08''834) which seems reachable after his 10k, even in Hamar.   10000m : once again Henriksen is on the bubble. If  Maly, Petzold of  Farthofer gets into the top 9 at the expanse of Malfatti or Snellink, then he's out.    Mass-start : not much at stake considering most of the reserve skaters will already receive an additional quota - at the moment    . Morino  will try to enter top 32 and be in those additional quota spots.    Team pursuit : pretty much done   Women   500m : pretty much done   1000m : with  Thorup not cleared to participate one more spot is up for grabs.  Scholz would need to be in front of both Herzog (done as she's not entered) and Czerwonka (7 points) after this final week.  Silaeva would be left out.    1500m : Lamarche not competing and  Zofia Braun being promoted to A division, Poland has got a real shot at a second quota. Braun will need to stay in front of Scholz and Weidemann, who could still finish ahead of her depending on how good Braun fares in A division.  Smedding would suffer from a Polish rise.   3000m : match-up between  Yang and  Horikawa only separated by 3 points. At the moment Yang is out (R2) but if they exchange position in the standings then Horikawa is out (R1). They could also both finish ahead of Hofmann, at the expanse of  Golubeva ultimately.  Jasch has a small shot at a second German quota too, by edging the former two skaters, eliminating them.    5000m : pretty much done   Mass-start :  Santo Rodrigues is hanging on by a thread. The cruelty of it is that those immediately behind her -    - will get an aditional spot anyways, so it does not really matter if they finish in the top 24 ahead of her, except it would allow France to enter a second skater and two girls in the MS.   Team pursuit : three-way asymetrical tie for the last SOQP spot between   and , all in division A. Norway needs to beat both as they can't rely on a time Q, Kazakhstan needs to beat Norway to ensure (if they fail to beat China) the first SOQT spot and avoid the Italian wild-card*, whereas China is pretty safe. *  is currently out but they "only" need to get into a reserve spot to be qualified, which is going faster than 3'00'92 (or faster than Norway if they too decide to skate faster). They were not far off this mark in Hamar earlier this year but the team was in a better shape overall.
