Mel Zajac this week! Josh Liendo, Maggie MacNeil, Tristan Jankovics, Blake Tierney, Ella Jansen, Taylor Ruck, Javier Acevedo, Lorne Wigginton, Alex Axon, Apollo Hess, Emma O’Croinin, Finlay Knox, Taylor Ruck, Illya Kharun, Sophie Angus are all entered!

I also wouldn’t consider decathlon to be a “field event”

Scenarios for Canadian men to qualify for the Olympics (Field Events) Men’s High Jump - Somehow Django Lovett is 42nd in the Road to Paris, as his result from the NACAC Championships in 2022 still counts (not sure how). If he’s not competing in Montreal, he’ll need at least 2.20m and 1st (in addition to no one else improving on their scores at other meets) at minimum. 2.25m would put him in 28th, and in a much more favourable position. Basically, he needs a big SB. Men’s Triple Jump - If he’s not competing in Montreal in a couple of days, Praise Aniamaka will need to have a massive PB in order to reach the Olympic standard of 17.22m. Probably too much to ask for.

Well for we could win up to 4 if everything goes our way. But in only one event we’re among the favourites, with McIntosh in the women’s 400m freestyle. Cordano Russell in men’s street skateboarding, men’s and women’s 4x100m freestyle relays in swimming are outside chances.

Yeah, with the results in Shanghai, I’d say it’s pretty likely that we’ll get three quotas in men’s street. Fay Ebert is in a good position to qualify in women’s park as well.

Might be in the minority here, but I don’t get the MA hate. Seems like a nice dude.

What exactly is it?

I’m going with But I wouldn’t be surprised if win

@Topicmaster1010 I don’t disagree with you about them being the top two favourites in the women’s 100m butterfly, but for silver there’s a bunch of names really close to Huske. Yufei, MacNeil, Kohler, and McKeon (didn’t have the best of Trials, but I can never count her out) will also be in the mix for the minor medals.

@intoronto according to this, Walker had a 1227 point performance! https://athleticscalculator.com/rns/ranking At the Edmonton Athletics Invitational, for 4th in 56.78, she recorded 1178 points. At the Last Chance Qualifier, for 2nd in 56.18, 1146 points. At the Ed Moses Legends meet, she finished 5th in 56.94, but will net 1168 points. What I’m saying is that a strong top two performance at Olympic Trials, might (maybe should) be enough to secure her spot through World Rankings. Hope she competes at the Montreal meet to make sure of it.

She could have retired since then, but I’m not quite so sure. Maybe there’s a minor injury, and she’s using this time to recover for the Olympics? Hopefully (not the injury, but that she hasn’t retired) she’ll be in Paris. Even if she gets overtaken on the Road to Paris individually in the 100m, surely she’ll be on the relay.

Scenarios for Canadian men to qualify for the Olympics (Track Events) (only in areas where quotas aren’t guaranteed, which is why you’re not seeing the men’s 100m/200m/3000m steeplechase) @intoronto did the women. I’ll do a rundown on the field events tomorrow (sometime before Wednesday at the latest) Note, some athletes updated ranking points (Harry Jerome Classic), I’m too lazy to calculate, so I’ll wait for the updated Road to Paris rankings to update. There’s also a meet in Montreal on June 21, entry list isn’t officially out yet, but as soon as it’s over, there’ll be a second update. Men’s 400m - Only 8 quotas are available through the Road to Paris rankings, and all of our athletes are nowhere near one. They’ll need to reach the entry standard of 45.00. Michael Roth, Austin Cole, Myles Misener-Daley, and Tyler Floyd are ones to watch out for. Callum Robinson, maybe, he ran well at the WA Relays, but has struggled in his individual 400m races. Men’s 800m - Zakary Mama-Yari and Matti Erickson are in PB setting form, but will need to chop off another second and a bit in order to reach the Olympic standard. Abdullahi Hassan will also need to most likely reach the Olympic standard. Not impossible for the three, but not likely either. No chance through the Road to Paris rankings for any of them (actually, it depends on if Abdullahi Hassan performs well enough on June 21) Men’s 1500m - Kieran Lumb looks safe (40/45th, 1249 points with the Harry Jerome Classic not yet updated, 35 points clear of 46th), but if he can replicate his 3:34.50 from last year in addition to finishing 1st, it should guarantee him a spot through the Road to Paris rankings. Men’s 5000m - Thomas Fafard is the form of his life, and was so close to reaching the 13:05.00 Olympic standard (he was 0.07 off) about a month ago in Belgium. I’d be surprised if he doesn’t qualify automatically, but even if he doesn’t he should be one of the athletes in the rankings on the Road to Paris. He could go 13:20, and finish 2nd, that would net him 1217 points, putting him at an adjusted total of 1215 points, 41st in the Road to Paris but 27 points ahead of 43rd, and that might be enough. 13:15 would net him 1235 points (as long as he finishes 2nd), putting him at an adjusted total of 1221 points, 39th in the Road to Paris and 33 points ahead of 43rd. That should be more than enough. Men’s 110m Hurdles According to my calculations, Craig Thorne’s recent 13.48 got him 1222 points, and his recent 13.72 got him 1175 points. Neither have been updated on the Road to Paris page. That would put him at 1207 points overall, or 43rd in the rankings. 13.50 and 1st, would be 1258 points, and increase his overall score to 1214 points and 42nd in the Road to Paris. Unfortunately, it’ll probably require a 13.30-13.33 to get into a World Rankings quota, and like @intoronto said it’ll still be close. Men’s 400m Hurdles Malik Metivier opened up his season a week ago, with a very solid time of 49.07, just 0.37 away from the Olympic standard of 48.70. Unfortunately, he’s been injured since 2022, and this was his first race of the season, so no chance through the Road to Paris.

What makes you think that?

What about Bingham? She’s 51st out of 56 possible quotas in the women’s 100m. Also, how does MacDonald have a small chance at Paris? Her PB is 600+ points shy of the standard, and she’s no where close through the rankings. @intoronto

So at Nationals, a 62.00m be enough to increase her total to 1134 points, and 30th. 61.00m would put her in 31st, and 1132 points. 62.50m should be enough, and 61-00m-62.00m would be cutting it close.

1104 points and 59.07m for Tunks at the Harry Jerome Classic, improving to 35th (+1) and 1109 points in the road to Paris.

Did the calculations myself. For Weir, 70m (and 2nd) is probably the bare minimum, 71m (28th on the road to Paris) should be more than enough. 1199 for Tunks, if she can go 61.50m, and grab first won’t be enough. 63.00m will give her 1227 points, and will slot her into 30th.

@intoronto what will Tunks and Weir need in women’s discus throw/hammer throw, in order to get top 32?

Solid time, but unfortunately will need to hit the 14:52 entry standard at Olympic Trials.

55.31 55.52 Walsh and Huske qualify for the Olympics in the women’s 100m butterfly. Walsh will start as the marginal gold medal favourite. 55.62 for Smith as well, another PB!

Oh I’m not saying that he won’t hit the standard 49.07 in his first race back from injury is really impressive. Just that he’s running out of time to get four meets in/the entry standard.

Men’s Olympic team is set for golf! Corey Connors with his 9th place finish at the US Open (needed 11th or better) will be making his second Olympic appearance, while Nick Taylor will be making his Olympic debut! https://www.tsn.ca/corey-conners-nick-taylor-to-represent-canada-at-2024-summer-olympics-1.2135554?tsn-amp
