Mo Zhang onto the semis in TT.

Canada is guaranteed a medal in squash, as the mixed doubles pair is in the semifinals per the draw

Fernando Martinez DQ after winning gold in 5000m

I feel as though Canada is always dashing the hopes of the home athletes these past few days. Are we the villains?

another Vancouverite here checking in!

Gotta move more events to Super Saturday!!! 71 medals is pretty crazy. Even the final day will be relatively hectic especially when you consider it will be a half day to prepare for the closing ceremony.

We should have done a Totallympic meetup! @james89 @Josh

50m AR 3P ( Women) Quotas: Shriyanka Sadangi & Arina Altukhova # With this quota we will be sending a full team of 8 shooters in AR ( 10m & 50m ) . Our 13th Shooting quota overall with still one more continental championships left & the final world qualifiers.

Just a reminder - season starts Saturday 11 November with the first Norwegian domestic races!

I would put the M2x and M2 as serious medal contenders given they won medals at this year's world championships and are on an upward trajectory. Definitely in with good chances. Also Mona McSharry in the women's 100m breaststroke was just inches away from a medal at this years world championships where she finished 5th. I'd put her in the outside chance category. Leona Maguire in women's golf definitely has an outside shot at a medal also. I'd be inclined to say Mark English and Andrew Coscoran would be off the list. For example, I think even our sailing team or even the eventing squad who I don't fancy at all could be more likely to sneak a medal than either of them. But it's not really on the cards.

Gold for in men's discus throw

Our Olympic Trial will take place after Worlds next year. As Dullard said, it is a "safeguard" event for the athletes. Tbh, I didn't even know that, CBDA has estipulated so many criterias for this event, that I've no idea what is the mission of our athletes in it haha. Seems they will open a kind of opportunity for those who don't take the marks at the Trials, to be selected through this competition.

have quite a good number of medal chances, even for gold - Rowing (M2-, LM2X and maybe more) - Shooting (men's AP Jason Solari, women's Rifle events Nina Christen, Audrey Gogniat, men's 3-position Rifle Christoph Duerr...just to name those already qualified, but they will add more for sure) - Beach Volley (women) - Sailing (women's ILCA 6 Maud Jayet, men's 49er Schneiter/Planta) - Swimming (men's 200m back Roman Mityukov, men's 100m fly Noè Ponti, men's 200m IM Jeremy Desplanches) - Road Cycling (both ITT, Marlene Reusser and Stefan Kung, maybe even the women's Road Race) - MTB (both races, basically any rider they choose) - Freestyle BMX (women, Nikita Ducarroz) - BMX racing (women, Zoè Classens...and maybe more; men, the full team) - Judo (men's -73kg, Nils Stump...and maybe more) - Slalom Canoeing (Martin Dougoud has some chances also in the M K1) - Athletics (men's LJ, Simon Ehammer) - Fencing (men and women's Epee) - Equestrian Sports (Show Jumping, team and individual competitions) and I'm sure I forgot something

We have a lot of medal chances, but we’ll probably win around 25-30. That being said; Athletics Marco Arop- Men’s 800m Mo Ahmed- Men’s 5000m/10000m Andre DeGrasse- Men’s 100m/200m Men’s 4x100m Relay Pierce LePage- Men’s Decathlon Damian Warner- Men’s Decathlon Evan Dunfee- Men’s 20km Race Walk Ethan Katzberg- Men’s Hammer Throw Sarah Mitton- Women’s Shot Put Camryn Rogers- Women’s Hammer Throw Less likely are Cam Levins (men’s marathon) and our women’s 4x400m relay. Diving Caeli McKay- Women’s 10m Platform Mia Vallee- Women’s 3m Springboard Pamela Ware- Women’s 3m Springboard Pamela Ware/Mia Vallee- Women’s 3m Synchro Platform Rylan Wiens- Men’s 10m Platform Nathan Zsombor Murray- Men’s 10m Platform Rylan Wiens/Nathan Zsombor Murray- Men’s 10m Synchro Platform Swimming Summer McIntosh- Women’s 200m Freestyle (if she decides to race it), Women’s 400m Freestyle, Women’s 200m Butterfly, Women’s 200m Individual Medley, Women’s 400m Individual Medley Maggie MacNeil- Women’s 100m Butterfly Sydney Pickrem- Women’s 200m Individual Medley Kylie Masse- Women’s 100m Backstroke, Women’s 200m Backstroke Women’s 4x100m Freestyle Relay Women’s 4x200m Freestyle Relay Women’s 4x100m Medley Relay Illya Kharun- Men’s 200m Butterfly Josh Liendo- Men’s 50m Freestyle, Men’s 100m Freestyle, Men’s 100m Butterfly Archery Eric Peters- Men’s Individual Basketball Women’s Tournament Men’s Tournament Women’s 3x3 Tournament Boxing Charlie Cavanaugh- Women’s 66kg Scarlett Delgado- Women’s 54kg Wyatt Sanford- Men’s 63.5kg Tammara Thibeault- Women’s 75kg Breaking Philip Kim- B-Boys Canoeing Katie Vincent- Women’s C1-200m Katie Vincent/Sophia Jensen- Women’s C2-500m Cycling- Track Dylan Bibic- Men’s Omnium Kelsey Mitchell- Women’s Sprint, Women’s Keirin Lauriane Genest- Women’s Sprint, Women’s Keirin Women’s Team Sprint Fencing Eleanor Harvey- Women’s Foil Jessica Guo- Women’s Foil Women’s Team Foil Football Women’s Tournament Gymnastics Not exactly sure which events but I believe Felix Dolci and Ellie Black are in contention for some individual medals. Unlikely, but we could contend for a women’s team medal as well. And of course, trampoline gymnastics. Golf Brooke Henderson- Women’s Tournament Judo Catherine Beauchemin Pinard- Women’s 63kg Jessica Klimkait/Christa Deguchi- Women’s 57kg Shady El Nahas/Kyle Reyes- Men’s 100kg Francois Gauthier Drapeau- Men’s 81kg Arthur Margelidon- Men’s 73kg Rowing Jenny Moffat/Jill Cassons- Women’s Lightweight Double Sculls Women’s Eight Sailing Sarah Douglas- Women’s Laser Radial Surfing Erin Brooks (if she can get her citizenship in time) - Women’s Shortboard Taekwondo Skylar Park- Women’s 57kg Tennis (Canadian tennis is up and down, so I’ll just put them here if they’ve had a good run at RG in the past) Felix Auger Aliassime- Men’s Singles Leylah Fernandez- Women’s Singles Gaby Dabrowski/Leylah Fernandez have only played with each other once, at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, and although it ended with a loss Fernandez is a much better doubles player now. Medal potential for sure. Beach Volleyball Melissa Humana Parades/Brandie Wilkerson- Women’s Tournament Wrestling Madison Parks- Women’s 50kg Karla Godinez- Women’s 53kg Ana Godinez- Women’s 62kg Olivia Di Bacco/Linda Morais- Women’s 68kg Justina Di Stasio- Women’s 76kg Weightlifting Maude Charron- Women’s 59kg

In an earlier thread I made this prediction, if I had to update I would downscale Breaking to 0-1 medal, switch Maike van der Duijn (omnium) for men's Madison and add maybe 1-2 more rowing medals. But for a best case prediction let's add: archery mixed team, Mathieu van der Poel (cross country or road race), rowing M1x and M8-, Sailing Nacra17 (Van der Meer/Bouwer) and a gymnastics medal (Naomi Visser, Sanna Veerman or Sanne Wevers?) For a total of 17-40 medals

The BBC would actually demand the cancelation of the games!!!!

I’m Toronto as well

After the speed round in jumping 1 Brazil - 4.32 2 Colombia - 7.29 3 Canada - 9.62 4 Argentina - 12.01 5 United States - 12.37 6 Mexico - 14.58 7 Chile - 16.75 8 Uruguay - 35.57 9 Ecuador - 44.83 This would be great for Colombia, but we'll see if this holds up tomorrow.

has found a remix that makes Vivaldi’s Four Season even more intolerable. For the record, I don’t dislike Four Seasons, it’s just way over used in artistic sports.

The question of ratings and viewer interest is a separate issue to team size but for what it is worth, I think UKA have done an abysmal job in promoting the sport in the UK. But on the issue of the GB team in athletics and why it has been picked up by the BBC, it comes down to a question of fairness - athletes across about a dozen sports earn their place at Olympics through their performances across the year building their ranking. UK Athletics has chosen to ignore this and is likely to be the only GB federation which will reject validly earned Olympic quotas. It was disappointing that there was more outrage from athletes over the sacking of Stephen Maguire than there was about 19 athletes being denied the chance to compete at the World Champs. Hopefully a lot of those folk who had their World Athletics invitation rejected this year are able to hit the qualifying standard - it would be the best way to stick two fingers up to the UKA selectors.

Awesome how this works as a tourism ad for both countries

I would like to present the most famous "electronic music" of China, opening song of Journey to the West (1986 version). Journey to the West is the most famous Chinese mythical novel, its characters and songs are known to almost every Chinese. And its mythological characters like the Monkey King are always popularly cosplayed on Halloween in China. Xu Jingqing - Sound of Heavenly Palace opening song of Journey to the West

Boccia World Ranking Lists updated as of October 31st, 2023

Yeah, it's pretty lame. Yet there are 71 medal events on Saturday which is too many. Could have put some events like trampoline and speed skating now (or last weekend). Maybe there's overlap with venues, but it seems very uneven.

Ok, those who watch closely Eurovision, knows, it is never good to start competition, so yeah

Looks like almost same if not all.

31/10/2023 SHOOTING W 50m Rifle 3 Positions

Official Annoucement Users are now invited to post their submissions for the Halloween portion of the Festival of Music. I look forward to listening to the selections.

I'm in Central America now, so currently on Mountain time until they change the clocks, then I'll be on Central time.

Shriyanka finishes 4th in 50m 3P (Women) at the ongoing Asian shooting championships & qualifies for Paris Olympics by getting 1 of the 2 available quotas. 28th Quota place for & Athletes contingent size now up to 43 ( 45 with 2 hockey reserves)

Tomorrow apparently there will be only 10 medal events. Yeah, this schedule is terrible lol

You are correct. The closest thing to a direct match they had was in women's skeet and even then they started with six shooters

We’re also back to 3rd on the overall medal table, overtaking Mexico!

According to the specialist speedkating website, schaatsen.nl, the Dutch team has lodged a complaint: they claim the Korean women skated one fewer round. As I understand it, according to our national coach, the jury has acknowledged this, and the expectation is that the result will be changed accordingly, hopefully before the next World Cup event in Beijing in early December .

Petit récap' de la semaine dernière. Je ne sais pas si je le ferai régulièrement mais bon tant que j'y suis. Short-track : moins de succès pour cette deuxième étape à Montréal. Aucune finale, même B. Malheureusement l'effectif est globalement faible. Ca se confirme, Fercoq est le seul à avoir le "niveau international", mais sans être assez fort ou fiable pour squatter régulièrement les finales, et encore moins les podiums. Le reste fait le nombre avec dans le lot un athlète en fin de carrière (Lepape) et des journeymen qui n'ont jamais eu et n'auront jamais les capacités pour jouer mieux qu'une demi-finale ric-rac ça et là. Reste Cloé Ollivier qui est encore junior et qui a montré de belles choses sur 1500m. Patinage de vitesse : bonnes et moins bonnes nouvelles. Valentin Thiébault a battu deux records, sur 1000m avec les minimas pour la CDM et sur 1500m (1'50 -> 1'47) qui peut poser problème puisqu'ils sont deux pour une place. Un tout jeune patineur (C2 donc de 2008) Paul Lenglin a aussi largement abaissé ses références, avec des chronos intéressants pour son âge. Malheureusement il est un poil trop jeune pour prendre part aux CDM junior, en espérant que ça ne le stoppe pas dans son évolution. Maintenant les mauvaises nouvelles. Germain Deschamps s'est blessé au bras en tombant lors d'un entrainement de poursuite, plusieurs semaines d'absences (saison compromise ?), Giovanni Trebouta blessé aussi (j'ignore où et comment). Un petit coup pour la poursuite vu que ce sont potentiellement de bons moteurs avec un profil endurant que n'a pas (ou moins) Thiébault.

I was wrong. If you sum the total World Cup points won (excl. relays) in week 1 versus week 2, then Italy is indeed under-performing compared to Stage 1. Most improved are: +336 points (796 vs. 460) +115 points (1143 vs. 1028) +115 points (716 vs. 601) Biggest decreases: -151 points (442 vs. 593) -142 points (211 vs. 353) -121 points (243 vs. 364)

should all be qualified, with one wildcard TBD since didn’t compete.

I predict that Lithuania will win 5 last places
