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.

      On the LA28 Facebook, they announced that they won't be releasing all sports/sessions in Drop 1 due to high demand in the local presale.  I'm curious what that might be.

      Update after Matchdays 8 and 9.   Group A:  is almost a lock with 21p, and 7 games 7 wins. Almost impossible for them to not qualify. The battle is in the second place between  (16p) and  (13p).  with 8p is almost out.  and  eliminated.   Group B:  won both of the 2 games so is almost secured with 19p.  is second with 14p, with  (1 more game played) and  with 11p.  is eliminated and  practically too (6p)   Group C:  went 2 out of 2 so they are still first with 16p and one game less than the rest. The battle for second place will be between  14p,  11p and  9p.  eliminated and  (with one game less and 4p) probably too.   Group D: Only 3 for 2 places.  first with 19p has the advantage, but coming close is  with 16p. They played each other in the Matchday 11 of 12. Coming in third behind is  with 11p. ,  and  eliminated.   Group E: Both  and  won both matches so its still the same, Poland first with 24p and Italy second with 21p, which is the best runner-up and also qualifying directly, so is very likely that both teams end up qualifying no matter who finish first and second. , ,  and  eliminated.   Group F: A tie between  18p and  18p. Germany has the goal advantage (+21 to +20), and has to play the three weaker teams, so its more likely to qualify. Coming behind are  with 10p and  with 9p, which are practically eliminated with  and   Group G:  takes the advantage with 12p and one game less.  and  both have 7p, and coming behind are  5p (but one game less) and  with 5p.   Group H:  with the win against  moved to first place with 13p (and one game less), and Turkey stays in second with 11p.  is coming in third with 8p, while  is eliminated and  have 3p and one game less.   Group I: A triple tie between ,  and  with 10p. Belgium have the advantage because they have the best head to head points and one game less. Austria is second in the H2H difference and Denmark is third but with also one game less.  have 6p and  is eliminated.   The next 3 and last matchdays will define the 10 qualified teams and the 8 that will go to the playoffs.
