@intoronto don’t feed the troll.

I wouldn’t disagree with you that Canada could miss out on the quarterfinals, but only because we have a tough draw. I don’t think I’m overrating them in the slightest, we won bronze at last years FIBA World Cup while missing key NBA players like Andrew Wiggins, and Jamal Murray. I can guarantee you that if they had been placed in OQT Puerto Rico’s group Canada probably survived as one of the top third place finishers at worst. South Sudan is by far the weakest team in the tournament, they wouldn’t have qualified if there wasn’t an African quota. Third place finisher in that group has a very high chance to progress to the quarterfinals, assuming they can demolish South Sudan or at least by a reasonable margin. @nenad what are your thoughts on the draw? I’m curious

I don’t exactly know, but they’ve been regressing ever since Beijing. Maybe @Rafa Maciel can provide some reasoning? While I am surprised by their record, and especially their loss to New Zealand, it was fairly predictable that they would be near the middle or at the bottom.

Turkey almost did, so who knows If anyone, it’ll probably be Team Homan though. Ridiculous record on the season of 53-5 (including the five games played here) I think they even have a better record than Team Tirinzoni this season.

So do I. South Sudan is the weakest team in the draw, and it’ll probably stay that way when the OQTs are finished. Lithuania, Italy, and Puerto Rico are good teams but none of them are as good as Canada, or even Greece/Slovenia (the most likely Olympic qualifiers from that group)

Draw 8 Results 8 - 1 10 - 3 11 - 5 9 - 10 led 5-2 after five ends, and 9-7 after nine ends, but unfortunately couldn’t produce the victory

Actually I believe they’re currently in 7th. 2-3 along with United States and Norway but United States beat Norway, and Norway beat Sweden. By my count that would mean United States would be 5th (2-3, 1-1), Norway 6th (2-3, 1-0), and Sweden 7th (2-3, 0-1)

Team Homan defeats Norway 9-4, to improve to 4-0! As previously mentioned, two very important games against Switzerland and Italy tomorrow, two wins would most likely qualify us for the playoffs (There’s still plenty of games to go, but with our easy remaining schedule it should be enough)

Not that surprising honestly. Great Britain’s women’s team isn’t what it used to be (however the loss to New Zealand, and the big losses to Denmark, Italy, and Sweden are concerning), while Japan is essentially sending their C-team. Sweden also outside of a qualifying position at 2-3 is the most shocking outcome so far, but when you consider that they’ve had a really tough early schedule, losing to very good teams in Canada, Italy, and to a lesser extent Norway it’s wasn’t out of the realms of possibility (I was expecting them to at least beat one of them though). I expect them to pick it up throughout the rest of the round robin.

I’ll probably do swimming later, but without it that’s 255-269 athletes in 28/29 sports.
