So it seems like the dramatic announcement was all to say she is trying out a new hydration drink this year

100 days to go until the first event begins!!

CBC has announced its first lineup: https://www.cbc.ca/mediacentre/press-release/cbc-radio-canada-announces-preliminary-coverage-plans-and-hosts-for-the-oly

Great that they’ll be streaming pretty much everything, but I hope they’ll have separate streams for track and all the various field events at Paris. Most the time on athletics streams they only show replays of field events, it’s rarely ever live. Canada has medal potential in both, and I wouldn’t want to miss anything live. Also hope that Brittany MacLean will be at Paris for swimming. Edit: Just messaged with Devin, the field events will have live streams as well.

Approaching 100 days to go, my predictions for Day 1 20:55: Swimming - Women’s 400m Freestyle Final - Summer McIntosh (Silver) 21:37: Swimming - Women’s 4x100m Freestyle Relay Final - (Bronze) Day 2 20:45: Swimming - Women’s 100m Butterfly Final - Maggie MacNeil (Silver) Day 3 17:18-17:38: Judo - Women’s 57kg - Christa Deguchi (Gold) 20:30: Swimming - Women’s 400m Individual Medley - Summer McIntosh (Gold) Bronze in the women’s 200m freestyle if she chooses to do the double. She’ll have almost an hour and a half between both so it seems doable (but she’s also probably going to be swimming a rigorous schedule so maybe she’ll skip it) Day 4 17:18-17:38: Judo - Men’s 81kg - Francois Gauthier-Drapeau (Bronze) 17:49-18:09: Judo - Women’s 63kg - Catherine Beauchemin Pinard (Silver) 20:57: Swimming - Women’s 100m Backstroke - Kylie Masse (Bronze) Day 5 20:36: Swimming - Men’s 200m Butterfly Final - Illya Kharun (Silver, behind Milak) Day 6 20:30: Swimming - Women’s 200m Butterfly Final - Summer McIntosh (Gold) Day 8 15:30: Artistic Gymnastics - Men’s Floor - Felix Dolci (Bronze) 20:30: Swimming - Men’s 100m Butterfly Final - Josh Liendo (Bronze) 20:59: Swimming - Women’s 200m Individual Medley - Summer McIntosh (Gold) 21:45: Athletics - Men’s Decathlon - Pierce LePage (Gold) Day 9 19:35: Swimming - Women’s 4x100m Medley Relay Final (Bronze) 20:30: Athletics - Men’s Hammer Throw Final - Ethan Katzberg (Silver) Day 10 21:00/22:05: 3x3 Basketball - Women’s Tournament Medal Matches (Gold) Day 11 20:00: Athletics - Women’s Hammer Throw Final - Camryn Rogers (Bronze) Day 12 20:30: Athletics - Men’s 200m Final - Andre DeGrasse (Silver) Day 13 15:00: Weightlifting - Women’s 59kg - Maude Charron (Bronze) 19:27: Track Cycling - Men’s Omnium - Dylan Bibic (Silver) 19:40: Athletics - Women’s Shot Put Final - Sarah Mitton (Bronze) 19:45: Athletics - Men’s 4x100m Relay Final - Canada (Bronze) 21:00: Beach Volleyball - Women’s Bronze Medal Match - Melissa Humana-Parades/Brandie Wilkerson (Bronze) 21:07: Taekwondo - Women’s 57kg Bronze Medal Match - Skylar Park (Bronze) Day 14 11:00: Basketball - Men’s Bronze Medal Game - Canada (Bronze) 13:50: Canoe Sprint - Women’s C1-200m - Katie Vincent (Bronze) 19:25: Athletics - Men’s 800m Final - Marco Arop (Gold) 21:23: Breaking - B-Boys - Phil Wizard (Gold) 22:34: Boxing - Women’s 75kg Gold Medal Bout - Tammara Thibeault (Gold) Left off some other medal chances, think at least one other name/team that I haven’t mentioned will make the podium. Still very optimistic with this prediction considering our best ever result is 24 medals at Tokyo (I picked 30 events for Canada to win medals in) but we have a talent in McIntosh now.

Totally agree. Can't stand this

So I just totted up what I think are the totals for the OQT for USA, AUS, GBR, Japan, Italy, China and France, using the FINA LCM rankings from 1st March 23 to today. Those were the countries I thought might have a chance of being near the top of a list like this. There are other countries which are strong in part (Canadian & Dutch women) but less so collectively. I could be doing them a disservice not including them, but I was already looking at enough to fry my brain anyway Russia would likely be somewhere in there, but with their uncertain status about things, I've not included in these figures. USA - Men 83, Women 98 = 181 total Aus - Men 34, Women 60 = 94 total Japan - Men 38, Women 27 = 65 total China - Men 25, Women 39 = 64 total GBR - Men 34, Women 25 = 59 total Italy - Men 33, Women 14 = 47 total France - Men 25, Women 14 = 39 total These are qualified swims, not swimmers. So Duncan Scott - for example - is in the GBR quota 3 times (100m fr, 200m fr, 200m IM). It would take me a lot longer to work that out, at least for countries that are not GBR. GBR is 37 total swimmers with an OQT - 23 men and 14 women.

GOLD FOR CANADA AT THE WOMEN’S HOCKEY WORLDS!! GOLD FOR CANADA AT THE WOMEN’S HOCKEY WORLDS!! GOLD FOR CANADA AT THE WOMEN’S HOCKEY WORLDS!! In a game that pretty much had it all, Canada defeats United States 6-5 to win gold!! They get their revenge on the United States after losing in the gold medal match (who else but Hilary Knight with the goal?) on home soil during last years World Championships, to defeating them as hosts this year. Danielle Serdachny with the game winning goal in OT, after a Canadian powerplay was awarded after too many Americans were on the ice. Shoutout to (defender) Ella Shelton as well, she had an incredible save on a potential gold medal winning goal in the closing stages of the 3rd period.

Here’s the Serdachny goal for anyone that missed it.

GOLD FOR CANADAAAAAAAAA!!! Danielle Serdachny scores the power play game winning goal in OT!! Feels great to get revenge over our rivals after last years gold medal match.

Quite windy.

Just realized where it was held never mind

With just over 100 days to go I decided to do another medal prediction, but this time on a day to day basis.

Day 11 Tuesday 6 August (1-2 medals) Sailing: Marit Bouwmeester (W dinghy) Track Cycling: M team sprint Day 12 Wednesday 7 August (0-1 medals) Sailing: Laila van der Meer / Bjarne Bouwer (mixed multihull) Day 13 Thursday 8 August (2-4 medals) Athletics: Femke Bol (W 400mH) Hockey: Men’s team Swimming: Sharon van Rouwendaal (W 10 km open water) Track cycling: Hetty van der Wouw (W Keirin) Day 14 Friday 9 August (2-4 medals) Athletics: Lieke Klaver (W 400m) Breaking: India Sardjoe (W breaking) Hockey: Women’s team Track Cycling: Harrie Lavreysen (M sprint) Day 15 Saturday 10 August (1-3 medals) Athletics: Women’s 4x400m relay and Abdi Nageeye (M marathon) Water polo: Women’s team Day 16 Sunday 11 August (1-2 medals) Athletics: Sifan Hassan (W marathon??) Track Cycling: Harrie Lavreysen (M keirin) Any day (0-2 medals) Surprise medals: preferrably Niels Laros (M 1500m) and W handball or volleyball team (what can I say, the more surprising the better) Total prediction (19-47 medals) +/- 10 golds +/- 11 silvers +/- 12 bronze I feel like the day-by-day version made the numbers too optimistic. Some names I'm thinking more like 'one out of these 4 judoka's will probably win a medal', but it shows as a medal chances on 4 days, instead of just 1 expected medal. Overall I'm a bit more optimistic than the 25 medals I predicted last time, I'll say 30 medals this time!

The IHF don't know who is the reining world champion 🤣 Maybe it's a reason of a wrong seeding

I don't think, she played for Russia at the U18 Eurobasket 2009

Guadalajara Challenge | Guadalajara, Mexico Women’s Tournament Gold- Esmee Bobner/Zoe Verge-Depre Silver- Agatha Bednarczuk/Rebecca Silva Bronze- Heather Bansley/Sophie Bukovec With Bobner/Verge-Depre’s gold medal here, the race for Switzerland’s two Olympic spots is heating up. Did some calculations, Huberli/Brunner now lead with 7560 points (and have a finish to record), Bobner/Verge-Depre are now on 7460 points, and Mader/Verge-Depre stay on 7140 points as they had a bad week losing in the qualies. Likely will be a battle between them and the Tokyo 2020 bronze medalists Mader/Verge-Depre (Esmee’s sister) as the Olympic Ranking is very tight between the three and Huberli/Brunner still have one finish to record (while the other two are trying to replace their poor finishes). But I wouldn’t pencil in Huberli/Brunner’s qualification just yet. Men’s Tournament Gold- Trevor Crabb/Theodore Brunner Silver- Lukas Pfretzschner/Sven Winter Bronze- Evandro Goncalves/Arthur Lanci Diaz/Alayo continue on their hot streak, but fall just off the podium in 4th. Very surprising podium for Pfretzschner/Winter, if they can sustain this type of form in the upcoming months it’ll see them as one of the pairings in contention for an Olympic spot through the European Continental Olympic Qualification Tournament. Full Results Short turnaround between tournaments, because up next we have the Tepic Elite16 from April 17-20!

YES JOSH,YES IT ABSOLUTELY IS .

I think that: Italy, The Netherlands and Germany will be close to each other on medal table, just like in Tokio 2021. On the other hand, France will get a much better result because of being the host team.

Despite getting thrashed in all 3 of our games, I'm quite pleased with our performance this week. We got into double figures against Hungary and Japan and created some good opportunities for ourselves that we unfortunately couldn't convert, which is more than I expected us to do. This is a sport that needs a lot of development in our country, and this is certainly a start to seeing us become competitive whilst trying to qualify for major championships. Just like with our Water Polo teams, this could be the boost we need to go on and qualify for Brisbane and 2036 - which should be our target off the back of this.
