Canada is going for gold at the Women’s Worlds after a 4-0 victory over Czech Republic. 
 

How surprising 

As long as we beat the EVIL Americans. 

(in jest of course)

Unbelievable mess in the men’s omnium points race. Hayter wins but somehow isn’t credited with a lap leading to a 20 min delay while the officials try to figure out what happened.

 

Shambles 🤣

It really was embarrassing. Get your stuff together and get it done. 

Another 4th! 

10 finals, Four 4ths for Canada. Another three 5ths. 

It's a complete meme at this point. 

Anyone know where to watch this morning session? CBC isn't broadcasting it.

Great split for Pickrem during the breaststroke leg however. 1:05.61!

Wait a minute. That can't be right. Summer's breaststroke leg in her WR 400 IM was 13 seconds slower. I can't find the results you speak of, but that simply can't be right. I knew it sounded off.

FYI, after the Olympic qualification period is over (so sometime in late June/early July) I’ll be doing a sport by sport overview for Team Canada, listing surprises, expectations, and disappointments in each. (some sports don’t have surprises/expectations, but the majority do)

Always look forward to your analysis, Josh. I try to keep up with as much as I can, but there's a lot out there. 

Tokyo was a bit of a crapshoot coming out of (or maybe still going through) Covid, but I feel good about Canada's medal chances in Paris. At least Canadians should be in the mix in a range of sports.

If Pickrem swam that time in her leg of the relay in Tokyo, Canada would have gotten gold, OR and only 0.7 away from WR. Heck, that split gives her 4th in the 100m final at Tokyo. Amazing time in the middle of a 400 IM. 

Disappointment for the Canadians and they blow their lead for 4th and finish 3rd instead. 

Another 4th!

I'm not sure why we subbed in Boyle for Genest, hopefully Laurianne is ok. 

Yes of course. It's just tongue in cheek 4th talk. 

Second 4th for Canada tonight. Living up to standards, as usual.

Congrats for quota.

Technically, Poland still has a chance. Don't lose hope. 

Canada wins in photo finish!!!

A tie???

Gold for Bibic! 

Think Canada was thrown off by that delay.

Not sure where to put this, but the Athletics Canada kits for Paris have been revealed. 
 

Absolutely dreadful, as are the rest of the Nike kits

 

I mean seriously… whoever designed it needs to be fired IMMEDIATELY

I don't hate it. I don't love it either, but I didn't really like their last kit much more.

At least Air Canada is stepping up

 

Air Canada, a sponsor of the event, has offered to waive any change fees and fare differences incurred by those with flights already booked to Montreal.

Wow, rare win by Air Canada. Wonder if they'll balance it out by having their flight attendants be extra nasty to the passengers. 

Good effort. Silver! 

Canada has outscored their opponents 26-8 in their last 3 matches. 

Canada takes it!

Big steal for 3 for Canada!!!!

Awful end for Canada. Missed almost every shot. Lucky to only give up a steal of 1.

Are you watching it?

Yes, I'm able to watch the BBC. 

Canada scores 2 in the 1st!
