Wang Changhao split 50.68 at the Asian Games last year so I wouldn’t be too sure about that. But barring a DQ they should be on the podium.

7-1!

Agreed, but let’s see what the fly can do first.

New record for Ollie Morgan with a 52.70 in the men’s 100m backstroke at the Great Britain Swimming Championships!

Shannon Westlake wins bronze in women’s 50m rifle 3 positions at the Pan American Rifle & Pistol Championships! What a showing.

Not me successfully jinxing Canadian athletes yet again Already had a reply prepared saying “Quota for , congrats @konig “

1.8 point lead* and it was the second to last shot

Ty Ikeda secures a quota in men’s 50m rifle 3 positions with a silver medal at the Pan American Rifle & Pistol Championships! He was 1.8 points behind Argentina heading into the 43/45th shot, but complete disaster by Zoccali Albizu on his last (6.0) combined with a 8.4 was more than enough to get it done! At the beginning of the qualification period I was expecting/hoping for at least one quota in shooting, but now we have 3!!

Quota for in men’s 50m rifle 3 positions! And with that being our third quota in shooting, it marks the most amount of athletes that we’ve had in this sport since Beijing 2008! (where we had 4)

Ok well he’s out of it now, that’s all from me

Bad series for Ikeda but he recovers with a 10.5. Not expecting a quota so any result would be a good one.

Oh for sure, but what I’m trying to say is that if China chooses this as one of their weightclasses, gold would be untouchable and only silver/bronze would be the only medals up for grabs. Without China, the event is wide open.

The point was to list all wrestlers with even a slight chance of a quota. FYI: I was scrolling through various UWW results pages in order to make my list, and couldn’t be bothered to put them in the correct order after.

Just spoke to Rafa, and got some confirmation that our women’s team pursuit squad have mathematically qualified for Paris already as they can’t be caught in the Olympic Rankings.

This wasn’t in order

New snatch PR for Maude Charron in women’s 59kg, with 106kg! 236kg in total, which is not only a new PB, but also a new Canadian record! https://www.instagram.com/reel/C5TOv8ES7oi/?igsh=ZWQ0MHloZnBoY2g1 https://www.instagram.com/p/C5TYg29u4EN/?igsh=NGZtNW00eGc1ZzFn Unfortunately it looks like her chance for a medal will be somewhat less likely than Tokyo, as assuming Luo Shifang’s injury isn’t too serious, China will select this weight category as one of their three.

Draw 12 Results 7 - 5 8 - 3 4 - 7 6 - 3

Standings After Day 4 Team Edin (6-0) Team Gushue (5-1) Team Muskatewitz (5-2) Team Mouat (4-2, 1-0) Team Schwaller (4-2) Team Retornaz (4-2, 0-1) Team Shuster (4-3) Team Ramsfjell (3-4) Team Klima (3-4) Team Gosgens (2-4) Team Abe (3-5) Team Hood (0-6) Team Park (0-7)

5-1 now, after a 7-4 win over New Zealand and a 8-2 (!) win over United States! Another double match day tomorrow as they take on Netherlands (12:00 AM PST/3:00 AM EST) and South Korea (10:00 AM PST/1:00 PM EST)

Draw 11 Results 8 - 2 7 - 4 4 - 6 7 - 9 (South Korea was 5-2 up at the break…) Gushue outcurled Shuster by almost 30% (92% to 63%), that pretty much tells you all you need to know.

While the event doesn’t start until May, I decided to start this thread early for psych sheets/event overviews/other relevant information.
