So, Canada officially ties its best ever non-boycotted gold medal total!  And later today, no matter what happens, Canada will tie its best ever non-boycotted total medal count.    Now

At this point I'm actually pretty bullish that we'll set non-boycott records for both gold medals and overall medals. Knock on wood.   Dare I say it, matching the all time record of ten gold

Still reeling about Mitton.  And it wasn't even a very good competition.  She must be crushed.   I can't bellieve Canada's men  4x100 team   Just amazing.  Question I know Kate Vincent has the C200 but that is with Sophie.  is there not an event where she cpaddles by herself???

I can't believe Athens happened (it was my first Summer Games) and those were dark days

My first too. So 24 medals is great . And it’s nice waking up everyday and having multiple medal chances

Canada won 3 medals here in events the ROC won medals in 2020. 

Unlike with 1984, I don't think people will put an asterisk on our performance here, but yeah, I imagine a few of our bronze medals may have been 4ths had Russia/Belarus fully participated.

On the other hand, look how many of Canada's performances have been upgraded recently due to doping from other countries. Drouin just got his high jump silver from London the other day (granted in 2021). We walked away from London with one gold medal, but then got another one after Girard got upgraded. The men's relay in Tokyo went from bronze to silver. If WADA wasn't biased, Canada would already be up plenty of medals, and may well be in the future. 

 

There's no asterisks here. Unless you mean, "may be upgraded later".

If we want to talk about a particular country getting in Canada's way of medals, let's talk China. This is not an angry rant, just stating facts. I lived in China for several years, loved it. Not shit talking the country, just pointing things out. 

 

-In swimming, without China, Canada would have gotten 3 more medals. Another one if counting Hong Kong, which China absolutely counts as part of their country. 

 

-Bronze upgraded to silver in canoe. 

 

-In diving, bronze upgraded to silver in diving. One 4th upgraded to silver, another to bronze.

 

-Silver to gold in weightlifting. 

 

Usually its USA and this time France in team sports that stand in our way. But China, man. Move bitch, get out the way!

I forgot Canada has the former Olymmpic gold medallist in cycling competing tomorrow.  I haven't followed her but I wonder what her chances are.   I would love to see one more gold  come on Wizard or Kate or Arop (better all three).  But from what I read Arop has a lot of competitors.  Now when does Canada name the flagbearrer for the closing ceremonies.  It is probably too late for Summer McIntosh now?

It's not that surprising, China does have the second most medals so by chance they would be likely to finish ahead of us. We'd have to do a more deeper look to see if it's actually significant.

Not good. The whole track cycling team has been out of shape due to illness.

      Summer Olympic Games Los Angeles 2028 Sports Programme

      By ChandlerMne · Posted

      I guess that including or excluding a sport is just a part of some bigger agenda. Political, economical and so on. Sport itself is of lesser importance. IOC wont mind a (un)popularity of a sport if they have a bigger cause to fullfil.  These are facts but on mainstream media its rarely seen.

      Winter Olympic Games 2030 Bid Process

      By Josh · Posted

      Summer Olympics, hell yeah I’m all for it!    Winter Olympics, absolutely not.    Cross-country running events are held in the winter, but that doesn’t make it a winter sport, sorry. There is one caveat though if it were to, let’s say get added to to the Olympic program hypothetically, because it would weaken the strength of distance fields drastically due to scheduling.    Edit: None of this is directed at you, just the idiots (like Coe) that think this (putting a summer sport in the winter Olympics, not cross country running at the Olympics) is a good idea…
