You and me both, where’s the ads when you need them?

Technically yes, but “in the house” is an idom meaning that they have arrived

Canada is in the house!!

is coming up!

For me at least, there’s good things about it and bad things about it.

You mean the sound of her voice?

Maybe because they were the first ones to enter?

Yeah nope. Not really liking this segment.

Now that you put that thought into my head… I want that to see that happen. Just for maximum chaos

This has been quite the opening ceremony so far. Really loving it

So did I

is sharing a boat with

Good point

To be completely fair, none of the US girls have anywhere close to as big of a schedule as McIntosh does.

Not sure what you’re watching, because I’m pretty sure the opening ceremony hasn’t actually started yet

FYI, more on this. Oleksiak has mentioned to Devin that she’s in the form of her life, and has been going times in training she’s never gone before so I don’t think she’ll be much of a question mark. MSH and MacNeil are reliable legs, so the fourth leg could be the main problem if Ruck isn’t near her best.

Eh, I’m not sure I agree with you there Like I’ve mentioned before, this by no means is a guaranteed medal, and McIntosh has the 400m freestyle final the very same session. With her extremely busy schedule, the coaches would actually be dumb to put her on the relay to potentially bolster her individual medal hopes (and her chances at gold, she’ll also be on the 4x200m freestyle relay), given she doesn’t have much experience with huge schedules at major meets. Time wise McIntosh isn’t that far away from the rest of them (besides Doughwright), so either way I’m not sure it’ll make that much of a difference.

I saw that too, there were even Instagram stories on Swimming Canada’s page I believe. Although I’m not sure how the women’s 4x100m freestyle relay would be less likely than the 4x100m medley relay, we have 3/4 good legs and if Ruck is in her Doha form or better I’d say we have a decent chance against China.

Gudaf Tsegay will focus on the women’s 1500m/5000m. https://www.instagram.com/p/C942LBkCjhE/?igsh=MXJsNnZtdzVreXo2ZA==

Canada will be sharing a boat with Chile, China, Cameroon, and Central African Republic.

It’s hard to see how Walsh will handle the pressure, but given that she’s produced the two fastest times in history last month by a couple of tenths, don’t think Yufei has a gold medal chance here. Same for the men’s 4x100m medley relay, the gap between them and US is too much

I agree with this.

Fair point But I’m sure there’s other bits of information that can be relayed to the team.
