We need the women's 3x3 team to win a game tomorrow if Canada wants to extend its medal streak, it's the only real chance I can see. 

I mean if we don’t we’ll finish 4th and we’re done with that now that the swimming relay is over. 😂

Canada :CAN is improving in swimming.

Unfortunatley no new talent are rising to the occasion. Hoping we produce a few more good talents.

 

I know they have a program for the men, and some are on the cusp. Fingers crossed.

Here is some statistical tables i made in excel about Canada's medals from 1988 to 2020 Olympics. I didnt include past 1988 because 1980/1984 cant be representative because of boycotts, 1976 was at home and from 1972 to 1988 is a big period gap and games/sports had changed a lot.

 

Some notices:

- From 1988 to 2020, most medals have come from Swimming, Rowing and Athletics.

- Canoeing Sprint, Diving, Wrestling and Track Cycling at various times have given some satisfying number of medals also.
- The most succesfull sport for Canada by number of medals in the past was Rowing. And later at a lesser point Canoeing Sprint. Now these were replaced by Athletics and Swimming in the last 2 SOG editions, as you see in the small table (Canada's best sports by number of medals in each Olympics)

- Quite succesfull (although they have a few set of medals) by number of medals per events that Canada won were Artistic Swimming in the past and later Trampoline Gymnastics.

The first table is sorted by total of medals as you see

So what are the chances of Canada matching last olympics medal haull?  I would love to see that but the predictions suggest differently  Does Canada realistically have chances in men's basketball?  Anything in canoes or rowing?  Athletics there is the well earned gold in thehammer but unfortunately our second guy did not do so well after qualifying second.  There are still a couple of throw events and Ibelieve some mid and longer distance Canada could podium   Beach Volleyball doesn't look great. One win a way from a medal in ladies 3x3 basketball.  Synchro swimming?  We used to be really strong there.  Breaking?  Probably we would need some unexpected medals from like Andre; basketball to match or beat last time.  No doubt they are trying and that is all we can ask even though we llove to see them podium:)

I was looking at some of the analysis about the swimming relay today.  Canada most likely would have won bronze with Penny swimming instead of Summer.  Obviously Summer is the star this games but Penny is better at this distance and her times wwere faster.  It was  a gamble the swim team took and it failed  sadly.  Canada has done their best but Warner strategiically made an error in the decathlon and then there was the soccer mess.   I think we need to focus on the good stuff = Ellie Black to me is a Canadian hero.  Great on the medallists but she is all class.  It just seems she isn't the luckiest but four olympics.  I wanted her to win a medal but she has shown great leadership,, skill and sportsmanship while be an ambassador not only for gymnastics but to the world.

    • As far as I am concerned, there are two very simple problems: infrastructure and the lack of cooperation between sports federations. Let me explain. The MiCo2026 Olympics will provide virtually no legacy in ice sports, there is still a lack of an indoor hall, there is no federal centre that has been promised for so many years. It could have been an opportunity to make a nice roof in Baselga di Pinè, but instead they preferred to make temporary facilities in Rho.   The second problem is the total lack of cooperation between roller skating and speed skating, we have a huge pool and we are not exploiting it. Fortunately we are doing a few small collegiate events, the technical collaboration with the Netherlands absolutely must be exploited.   I am not so negative however about the current situation, Ghiotto practically on the 10k seems to be off the scale (watch out for the Czech and Norwegian) and he can medal in the 5k and drag the pursuit team. In the mass start you have more cards in both the men's and women's, let's see what Fontana does. And a Fontana-Peveri-Lollobrigida pursuit team can also play for a third place
    • Canada Team Size Prediction for Winter Olympic Games 2026 Milano Cortina   Ski Sports   Alpine Skiing  (13) - That's been the team size the last couple of Olympics so it's a safe bet again. Cross Country Skiing  (10) - Not too familiar with the qualification system. Probably around 6 men and 4 women. Ski Jumping  (5) - Loutitt, Strate and Maurer for sure on the women's side. Possibly a 4th will qualify. On the men's side, if Bowd-Clowes returns, then he should also qualify. Nordic Combined  (0) - Been a nonexistent sport for a while. No athletes competing in the World Cup or Continental Cup. Freestyle Skiing  (32) - Should qualify a team in mixed aerials which means a maximum team size of 32 athletes. Which athletes in which disciplines to be determined. Snowboarding  (24) - Full teams in slopestyle and big air. Then somewhere between 1-4 athletes in the other disciplines. Biathlon  (6) - Based on the Nations Cup last year, the men finished outside the top 20 and wouldn't qualify a relay team (and that's without Russia and Belarus). With Christian Gow's retirement, that makes things even more difficult. Women's relay should still qualify though. Ski Mountaineering  (1) - Gonna be optimistic here and say that one athlete will qualify either through the World Rankings or continental quota.     Skating Sports   Speed Skating  (16) - 7 to 8 men, 8 to 9 women. For now, I'll say 8 of each gender. Short Track Speed Skating  (10) - Full team size. With the current skill level of the team, anything else would be a tragedy. Figure Skating  (12) - Most likely 1 man (I hope) and 1 woman, then 2-3 pairs and 2-3 ice dance couples. For now, let's say 2 in pairs and 3 in ice dance.     Sleigh Sports   Luge  (7) - 2 women + 1 entry in each of the other disciplines Skeleton  (4) - 1 or 2 men + 2 or 3 women Bobsleigh  (14) - 2 men's crews (in both events) and 3 women's crews (in both events)     Team Sports   Curling  (12) - Full team or else you might as well burn the federation to the ground. Ice Hockey  (48) - Both men's and women's teams already qualified       Total Optimistic Prediction  -  (229) Total Pessimistic Prediction  - (184)   Total Realistic Prediction  -  (214)
    • Besides, I think Eitrem will be better than Ghiotto. You can see it after 1500 meters. He is younger. The whole Norwegian team is also in great shape. You just have to look at the team Norway has, how many new and young skaters there are and in our group A there is one Trentini, who takes last place. In every winter sport we invest too little money to be counted.   If Eitrem has the same form over long distances as he does over 1500 metres, he will dominate this season, not Ghiotto or Roest.
    • Looking at last season's 1st World Cup, it's worse for now and it should be the other way around. Bosa out of shape, Trentini weak. Both will drop to a lower group. It's similar to skeleton, i.e. regression instead of progress. I hope this doesn't mean Ghiotto is also in weaker form, because it could end up with 0 podiums this weekend.
    • In general, our picture for a little over 1 year until the home games looks like this:     - the women's sector is still based on one Lollo, who is 3 years older than 2022, - the women's and men's sprint sector is based on one Bosa and possibly the young Pergher (0% possobility for medal in 2026), - Ghiotto has made a lot of progress and that is a big plus. He could result to give our even 3 medals, including 1/2 gold. Our team's performance also depends to a large extent on Ghiotto's form, - the rest of the men's team is basically unchanged. There is Giovannoni in the mass start, there is Malfatti in the longer distances, but they are not competitors on the podium of a major event.   I will repeat myself: if Ghiotto continues to make such progress, we will probably win 3 medals, 2 of which gold and it will be a success. If something doesn`t work out, an injury, illness, etc. (we know from Vitozzi that this can happen to anyone), then it could be very bad. By the way, this also applies to other sports: the above-mentioned Vitozzi in biathlon, Goggia in downhill, Brignone in giant slalom, etc.
    • With the World Cup season in most of the winter sports about to begin and qualification in some sports already underway, I think it's about time for this thread.    Template    ...
