I think there’s more than 7 medal chances for Canada left this week to get to 24.

Agree, but I wouldn’t be surprised if all of them flop at this point.

I understand the frustrattion but can you imagine the athletes?  They are doing their best = they lost in 3x3 ladies basketall Ithink three games by one point and that makes the difference.  Proud of them but wish they had a medal. I think that means Canada will not beat 24 medals from Tokyo   I am n ot sure  but I think they are out in ladies beach volleyball so that means men's basketball is the hope for a medal, breaking, and they would need 5 more medals from athletics (track and field).  Maybe 2 medals in field events and 2 medals in running maybe another medal in athletics? but hard to get 24.  I am noto sure if there are boating/rowing/canoeing events we could medal or if the artistic swimming we have a chance?

They're still in beach volleyball. They still have chances in canoe/kayak, breaking, basketball, track cycling, taekwondo, weightlifting and maybe wrestling along with a few in athletics. I'd bet that they beat 24 total, but I'm not sure they can outdo the 7 golds. 

 

If half their 4ths came through Canada would already have 24. And they'd still be 3rd for total 4ths!

Our streak of 9 consecutive days with a medal is over.

9 consecutive days actually.

 

Medal streak in Tokyo also ended on Day 10 if I remember correctly.

Nope, best was a 6th place finish in the steeplechase. It was also a barren day of medal chances.

Haven’t done an overview of the past few days. I was going to do it today, but I’m annoyed with our women’s 3x3 team and I’m watching surfing then going to sleep so hopefully tomorrow?

Tomorrow is also pretty slow for Canada medal-wise with Rogers in the hammer the only good shot (though it's also a good shot at gold). McKay could surprise in diving, too. 

 

But there's some big races in canoe/kayak and athletics, as well as Canada's quarterfinal basketball game.
