Not really sure on the rules for walkovers in beach volleyball (it’s very much possible that you have to at least have a small injury), but this happens quite a lot during Challenges. If you win your first pool game, you automatically advance to the next round no matter what, and winning/losing your 2nd pool game had no impact on bracket seeding so many teams forfeit. I’ll do some research and report back.

Olivia Wunsch with a new PB of 53.58 in the women’s 100m freestyle at the NSW All Schools Swimming Championships! @dullard

Obviously He’s a better shooter than Ozer though, I’m glad he got the ticket to Paris.

Shooting team announced following the conclusion of our Olympic Team Selection Trials. https://www.instagram.com/p/C7o4Kx4Mpp9/?igsh=eGRjOXoyaGpvaGJx Ty Ikeda and Shannon Westlake in men’s and women’s 50m rifle 3 positions, and Michele Esercitato @intoronto (Tugrul Ozer was the one to win the quota) in men’s 10m air pistol.

Men’s team is at an all time low. Just lost to Germany at HSBC SVNS Madrid…

@Belle Called it!

Fair enough. I will say he’s one of the most consistent Olympic performers, he’s medaled in the men’s 100m/200m/4x100m in both Olympics he’s competed in (Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020)

Lot’s of comebacks from injury lately! Watson and now Metivier! Hopefully we’ll be seeing McBride and Knight in action soon.

I’m bored, so I decided to take a crack at roster predictions for Canada in the team sports we’ve already qualified in. Let’s see how wrong I am in a month (This’ll be edited, as I dont want the content to get erased) Women’s Rugby 7s Olivia Apps Krissy Scurfield Olivia De Couvreur Charity Williams Alysha Corrigan Fancy Bermudez Chloe Daniels Asia-Hogan Rochester Keyara Wardley Carissa Norsten Piper Logan Sophie de Goede Florence Symonds/Breanna Nicholas out. Women’s Basketball Kia Nurse Bridget Carleton Nirra Fields Natalie Achonwa Syla Swords Laeticia Amihere Kayla Alexander Shay Colley Aaliyah Edwards Cassandre Prosper Sami Hill Yvonne Ejim Women’s Waterpolo Jessica Gaudreault Axelle Crevier Emma Wright Verica Bakoc Serena Browne Shae La Roche Hayley McKelvey Kindred Paul Elyse Lamay-Lavoie Floranne Carroll Maria Mimides Clara Vulpisi (not sure if Claire Wright has retired…) Women’s Football Kailen Sheirdan Sabrina D’Angelo Adriana Leon Janine Beckie Cloe Lacasse Vanessa Gilles Nichelle Prince Quinn Jordyn Huitema Kadeisha Buchanan Ashley Lawrence Jessie Fleming Julia Grosso Desirae Scott Deanne Rose Jayde Riviere Gabrielle Carle Evelyn Viens Jade Rose Maybe Simi Awujo/Shelina Zadorsky as dark hors picks. Men’s Basketball Jamal Murray Zach Edey Shai Gilgeous-Alexander RJ Barrett Andrew Nembhard Andrew Wiggins Kelly Olynk Dillon Brooks Nickel Alexander-Walker Dwight Powell Lu Dort Shaedon Sharpe No Benedict Mathurin (injury related reasoning, I would put him over Sharpe if healthy), Melvin Ejim, Chris Boucher, Corey Joseph or Trey Lyles. Men’s Volleyball Stephen Maar Arthur Szwarc Eric Loeppky Fynn McCarthy Xander Ketrzynski Jordan Schnitzer Danny Demyanenko Justin Lui Landon Currie Luke Herr Nicholas Hoag Lucas Van Berkel Still can’t believe Sclater and Perrin have retired from the NT…

I’ll do that after week 2 probably. Still a lot of matches to be played.
