Marco Arop confirmed for the men’s 4x400m relay at the Florida Relays!

Or not

Cheickna Traore clocks an =NR (and PB) of 20.23 in the men’s 200m at the Florida Relays!

squad for the Pan American Qualifier has been announced. As expected, Ruien Xiao (women’s epee) and Nicolas Zhang (men’s epee) will be our representatives. Both fencers are among the favourites in their weapon, but it’s all very close and I wouldn’t be surprised (just disappointed, which I guess is nothing new) if we don’t manage to win any quotas.

Christa Deguchi wins women’s 57kg gold at the Antalya Grand Slam, also managing to get her revenge on Faiza Mokdar in the process! This result now adds a further 1000 points towards her Olympic Ranking, and increases her lead on Klimkait to 2700 points, who chose to skip this tournament. Klimkait needs to win World Championships, and the Olympic Ranking if she wants to be at Paris (according to Judo Canada’s selection criteria), so quite a puzzling decision.

I feel the same way about judo. Although for me, if any Canadians advance to the repechage stages or further (highly likely) I’ll probably watch their bouts. Of course it also depends on what else is on

Also the Cross-Country Championships, and the She Believes Cup (football, only for pre-Olympic purposes however) Can’t believe I forgot about either

Slightly less busy schedule than usual (mind you still a lot) with Curling (Men’s World Championships), Tennis (Miami Open), NHL (all Canucks games), club season volleyball, and Swimming (British Olympic Trials), Fencing (Pan American Olympic Qualifier, Sitting Volleyball (World Paralympic Qualifier), Football (She Believes Cup), Hockey (Women’s World Championships, and any random athletics meets that I come across. I’ll also be following along with results in Beach Volleyball (Saquarema Challenge), Badminton (Madrid Masters), Weightlifting (Grand Prix Phuket, aka the final event to add points towards your Olympic Ranking), Shooting (Pan American Rifle & Pistol Championships), Track Cycling (Pan American Championships), Judo (Grand Slam Antalya), and Table Tennis (WTT Champions Incheon)

1 more day! Woo hoo!!

In judo, Jessica Klimkait has won bronze medals at the last two World Championships in women’s 57kg, and is #2 in the OQR (approximately 2700 points ahead of #3 Gjakova) but due to the one judoka per NOC rule there’s a possibility that she might not even qualify. Right now, she’s in a fierce internal selection battle with Christa Deguchi, who’s the reigning World Champion, and current #1 in the OQR (approximately 1500 points ahead of #2 Klimkait) Judo Canada has yet to select their athlete though, so they could still pick Klimkait over Deguchi. Judo Canada Olympic Selection Criteria Highest Finish at 2022 Worlds (1 pt) - Klimkait Highest Finish at 2023 Worlds (2 pts) - Deguchi Highest Finish at 2024 Worlds (2 pts) - TBD Olympic Ranking (2 pts) - likely will be Deguchi
