What is your Nation's Goal for Summer Olympic Games 2016?

Canada's goal is to finish in the top-12 of total medals which would require about 22.  This is always their goal at the SOG, and it's quite ambitious.

It is pretty ambitious, because the last time we achieve that was in 1992 I guess, Correct me if I am wrong.

Yeah, 22 was the most ever by Canada at a non-boycotted SOG (we got 44 in 1984, and it's a shame that this one isn't really counted since it was one of Canada's strongest teams ever and they would have gotten a lot of medals without the boycott).  

 

In 2012 Canada was #14 in total medals with 18 (needed 20 for top-12) and we were #13 in 2008 with 19 (needed 24 for top-12).  I think it's doable this year, but as always we will still lag behind in golds.  Still, I believe there will be a lot more Canadians in finals in swimming and athletics this time around, and more of our teams should be competitive which should make everything more fun regardless of medals.

So true,

Sometimes it is so frustrating to watch some sports and to not see any Canadian there.  Sometimes it is very depressing even if I love watching all the countries.:yes

our president of the NOC says: minimum 6 medals, we have 4 in London.......for me is near to an utopia thinking in that minimum, i will be glad if our country win 6 medals, at least one gold.

thanks, in normal ocations is more dificult qualifing that the olympcis itself: silver in 1996, gold in 2004 and 2008, but in this strange case i dont know, we have a coach (not a good one but at least we have), in this moment the problem are having enough good players to participate.

    • I think the reason is that it's generally preferable to have a fast shooter in the 1st leg, and especially in the prone shooting, where Hofer is quite slow.   Now, I'm not saying I agree with the choice, because I don't. I think it's going to neutralize Giacomel's skiing skills in the 1st lap at least.   I guess the idea is to try and set a very fast pace in the 1st leg, which is usually quite tactical, but I'm afraid that's going to force Giacomel to risk too much because he will feel he has to make some time somehow.   Regardless, Italy must be on the podium tomorrow. I think that would be crucial for the following races as well. I think France is the clear favorite, but the other teams are not stronger than Italy on paper.
