coach doesn’t look too happy with the call on that touchdown… ”SHE PUSHED OFF THE HEAD”

Time out you mean?

19-14 over at half time.

#19 has been horrible defensively, pretty much causing all of the Italian offence single handedly, substitute her off! Actually, with only 10 players that’s not possible but still…

3 with a diving catch to the top right corner (I still don’t know anyone’s name ) That was some highlight reel stuff.

Oh yeah that makes sense, thanks

I have a question… so I’ve noticed that the defenders have flags on their belts, but for what reason? Is it just for the “flag” aspect of the football, so everyone needs to have them? They’re not getting one of their flags taken away from them unlike their teammates on offence

Flagbearers for the opening ceremony will be announced today at 7:00 AM PST/10:00 AM EST.

Of course! Good luck! Well we’ll see, but the World Rankings/seedings (or whatever they are) are quite close so I’m hoping for a good match.

Men’s team (WR #9) defeats WR #5 Italy 34-33 to start off their World Championships campaign!

I believe it was a two point conversion for the win? So it was farther out? If I’ve understood the rules correctly.

WR #9 defeat WR #5 34-33!

You could say the same thing about Canada though…

Nyhus to Braun for the touchdown with 17 seconds remaining in the half Had to edit a couple this of times because I had no clue who their names were (their jerseys had nothing for me to go off of)

A thread for all squad discussion as we gear up for LA 2028!

Flag Football World Championships start today in Lahti, Finland! Starting this thread for all discussion regarding this sport, as it makes its Olympic debut in LA 2028!

I watch NHL a fair bit, and I have to say I’m not much of a fan of non-tackle football This seems like a more, well… lame version with a whole bunch of no names (no offence to them of course, just haven’t heard of any of them before) I’lll try my best to give it a chance and see if the sport grows on me.

What field will Canada-Italy be on?

Why are the countries on the back of the jerseys instead of the players names? Seriously if they want to grow the sport more at least let us know who’s playing. Edit: Just realized that Brazil’s jerseys had the names on them, maybe it was just a Finland thing

Part 2 (Part 3 is para swimming-athletics, Part 4 is a rundown of my predictions) Part 1 Here Para Judo Priscilla Gagne - Women’s 57kg J1: Rio 2016/Tokyo 2020 Paralympian, Tokyo 2020 silver medalist (both in 52kg), 2022 Baku World Championships silver medalist, 2023 Birmingham World Championships 5th, Bronze at the 2024 Heidelberg Para Judo Grand Prix, WR #5 Priscilla Gagne is coming into these Paralympics as a medal contender yet again, only this time in a different weightclass. Shi has been undefeated in women’s J1 57kg, so it’s safe to say that gold is off the table, and silver for whoever’s on on the same half of the draw as her. Mutia, Havrysiuk, Amrieva, and Gomez will be her main contenders for the minor medals. @intoronto any idea on how the para-judo draws work? Prediction: One bronze (women’s J1 57kg) Rowing Jacob Wassermann - Relatively new to para rowing, so no major competitions for him yet. His only two competitions thus far have been the Canadian Championships in 2023 and the Sao Paolo Paralympic Americas Qualification Regatta in 2024 Sitting Volleyball Women’s Team - 4th at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics, Silver at the Sarajevo 2022 World Championships, 6th at the Nancy 2024 World Super 6, Gold at the 2024 Dutch Tournament (no China) My biggest (and only Canadian) hope for a Paralympic medal! We had a bad tournament at the World Super 6 in June with a 5th, finishing only ahead of France (who probably wouldn’t have qualified if they didn’t have a host-nation quota) but followed that up with a gold medal in July at the Dutch Tournament. At the Dutch Tournament, we didn’t face United States at all, but we did beat Brazil twice. Should be between China, United States, Canada, Brazil, Italy for the medals (odds are in that order IMO) As for the Canadian names to watch out for, Heidi Peters. I swear she goes on serving runs every time she goes to the line. She’s also a pretty good attacker too. Ellis and Oakes are the other two. Wheelchair Basketball Men’s Team - 8th at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics, 6th at the Dubai 2022 World Championships, Bronze at the Santiago 2023 Para Pan American Games. Absolute disaster of a last year, honestly I’m not sure how they even qualified. Women’s Team - 5th at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics, 5th at the Dubai 2022 World Championships, Silver at the Santiago 2023 Para Pan American Games, beat Germany 2-1 in an exhibition series this year Our medal hopes here rest on the women’s team. Netherland’s have been the dominant force since 2018, and have won all but one match (Tokyo 2020 Paralympics against China in the group stage) by at least 7 point margins in all matches since then, with United States also taking them to single digits a couple of times. Australia, Germany, and Canada are the other medal contenders, but your chances really depends on the draw (you don’t want to be on the same quarter as the Dutch or even the Americans) Stars of the Canadian teams? For the women, Dandeneau of course, and also Oullet and Young. For the men, the legend himself Pat Anderson and Higgins, Hedges, and Goncin. Prediction: No medal, and a quarterfinal loss for the women. Wheelchair Fencing Ryan Roussel - Women’s Category A Sabre, Men’s Category A Epee: Tokyo 2020 Paralympian, Gold in Men’s Category A Sabre and bronze in Men’s Category A Epee at the Sao Paolo 2024 Pan American Championships, 11th in the Paralympic Qualification Rankings in sabre and 25th in epee. Trinity Lowthian - Women’s Category B Sabre, Women’s Category B Epee: Double gold at the Sao Paolo 2024 Pan American Championships, 12th in the Paralympic Qualification Rankings in epee and 17th in sabre. Sylvie Morel - Women’s Category A Sabre: Sydney 2000/London 2012/Tokyo 2020 Paralympian, 21st in the Paralympic Qualification Rankings Wheelchair Rugby Mixed Team - 6th at the 2024 Wheelchair Rugby Canada Cup (dead last), Silver at the Santiago 2023 Para Pan American Games, 5th at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics, 5th at the 2022 World Championships, WR #5 Canada is right up there with Australia, Japan, United States, Great Britain, France and Denmark during tournaments but each time seem to fall short. On the Canadian team watch out for Zac Madell in particular, he’ll be scoring the majority of our tries, dudes is an actual beast on the court. Prediction: No medal Wheelchair Tennis Robert Shaw - Quad Men’s Singles: WR #9, Silver at the Santiago 2023 Pan American Games, Won the title at the ITF 2 German Open last month (clay court tournament) including a victory in the final over the very same Argentinian who beat him in Santiago
