What a disaster for Canadian rowing. Only good thing is the revival of the men's eights.

Canada starts the tournament with a comfortable win over Serbia

Panamsports has introduced this for the 2023 Pan Am Games, part of me wonders whose idea this was

Or worse, the IOC drops both and adds a mixed eights

Also another big name in Hockey, Sochi 2014 gold medalist PK Subban also announced his retirement

Canada is sending a random bunch of athletes to the Shotgun worlds. Lindsey Boddez, fifth at Nationals in the women's trap in qualification, bronze overall (only one going) Vadiim Zevlever, second in qualification and fourth overall in men's trap Jason Caswell is not going ... but 2/4/7 in qualification are going. Also like to point out Maddy Boyd finished fifth in Skeet nationals (competed with the men), with very decent scores. She also happens to have formerly competed for GBR

Canada's women win the world series final stop in Romania!

Morais is a former World Champion in the 59 kg category

unreal. I hope the UWW doesn't do what the IJF did for the sake of the athletes.

That is what he said?

The taekwondo one exists, taekwondo Canada has it their selection criteria. Weird it wasn't included. Maybe changes are ongoing. Boxing is a mess so not surprised there. Tennis and racquetball no clue.

This confirms the information I listed above. There is no tennis listed. Weird. Roller speed skating has 8 events now. Extra 2 gold to Colombia. Golf mixed team appears to have been dropped.

Finally!!

Artistic Skating quotas: Men: +1 unused spot Women: qualifies in both events as hosts Men's qualification tournament results Women's qualification tournament results

I think the event program was decided long ago, but news is just trickling in. Sadly PASO/Panamsports is really bad in communicating stuff like this, even though their communication for the last two cycles has improved Sadly no. Hopefully soon.

Synchro makes sense as no athletes added. Softball men's being dropped also makes sense as all other non Olympic sports saw cuts.

Synchro trampoline has been added to the program, the quota has not increased. This means 5 team per gender will compete (the bare minimum). All it takes is one injury for the event to be cancelled.

Wow Chinese Taipei. Good for them

Other qualification news: Road+Track quotas go from 160 in 2019 to 187 in 2023, increase partly due to Cali 2021. Unfortunatley the increase has been offset by the Caribbean championships losing 8 quotas (from 10 to 2, one per gender). Basketball: Top 7 at each FIBA Americup qualify. 3x3: The fields have been doubles to 12 per tournament. Top 4 at FIBA 3x3 AmeriCup in November, + top 6 in WR as of June 30, 2023 will qualify along with Cali winners and Hosts. Diving: Quota increased to 80 (from 70). The other three disciplines (minus) swimming have the same qualification system as in 2019 with same # of quotas Equestrian: Dressage drops from 48 to 44, Eventing drops from 48 to 46, and Jumping goes to 60 from 54. Overall net quota remains the same from 2019 Karate: team kata dropped; individual kata to remain the same. Top 2 from CAC, SA games and Pan AM Championships will qualify, along with champion of NA. Hosts and Cali winners (only in Kumite) also qualify. MP: Same as in 2019. 2022 Pan ams to determine all quotas.

In other news men's softball will not be contested. Wow. Rowing eights is now a mixed event, with the men's eight and women's lightweight single sculls dropped.

@Sindo Handball qualification: Host nation, winner of Cali 2021, Winner of Canada vs USA, top 2 each at South American and Central American and Caribbean Games and a final spot to a repachage tournament winner.

Unfortunately Fiba uses the federation ranking to determine who qualifies for the Olympics.

yikes
