THe men's softball team will return to the Pan American Games after missing 2019.

At the World Cup Stop in Rimini, Italy, Sophiane Methot finished eighth, had the highest score in the SF and would have won with that score in the final (she had a fall in the final). Sarah Milette also crashed in the SF's to finish 24th Jérémy Chartier had the 8th best score in qualifying, and crashed out in the SF's. Rémy Aubin finished 49th with a score of 52.940

Canada's top male and female gymnast, William Emard and Ellie Black are injured. Canadian nationals are happening this weekend and teams for the major Championships will be selected this year.

Our Para-Canoe team is also doing great. The able-bodied team will have 18! finals tomorrow (though some B or lower finals might be cancelled).

Moncton would have been a great location.

I thought I saw Montreal?

It would be urban after all

Boxing team: https://www.cbc.ca/sports/olympics/summer/boxing/canadian-boxing-team-commonwealth-games-2022-1.6466996 No Charlie Cavanagh and no Scarlett Delgado, probably Canada's number 2 and 3 boxers.

The Canadian National Championships were held this past weekend. These were the results of the Commonwealth Games Bound athletes: Women: 49 kg: Hannah Kaminski (competed at 55 kg) hit a total of 171 kg, which places her second in the Commonwealth rankings 55 kg: Rachel Leblanc-Bazinet: 181 kg, 6th in Commonwealth Ranking, was her first competition in a while 59 kg: Tali Darsigny: 192 kg; 3rd in Commonwealth Ranking 64 kg: Maude Charron: 226 kg (10 less than in Tokyo), first in Commonwealth rankings 71 kg: Alexis Ashworth: DNC 76 kg: Maya Layor: 237 kg, competed in 81 kg event, First in Commonwealth rankings 87 kg: Kristael Ngarlem (who broke the CJ NR) competed in the 81 kg event and hit 231 kg, second in the commonwealth rankings +87 kg: Emma Frisen: 225 kg, ranked 7th in the Commonwealth Men: 61 kg: Youri Simard: 244 kg 9th in the Commonwealth, well below his PB 73 kg: Shad Darsigny did not compete 81 kg: Nicholas Vachon: 314 kg, 5th in Commonwealth, but he does have a lift of 325 kg, the top lift in the Commonwealth rankings 96 kg: Boady Santavy: 380kg, first in the Commonwealth, by a distance 109 kg: Pierre-Alexandre Besette, competed in the 102 kg event and scored a 337kg total, 5th in Commonwealth +109 kg: Quinn Everett: 362 kg; 4th in Commonwealth. If everyone performs to their best, 4 golds is not out of the possibility, Canada won one in 2018.

There really isn't any strong argument to dropping shooting imo. Only thing I have read is venue requirements being an issue (but both Australia and England have hosted the games this century with the sport...). Rhythmic is easily accompanied in the same venue as artistic....but I never understood its inclusion either as the sport has almost no tradition in the Commonwealth.

Congress also voted to include in the Olympic programme a women's Nordic combined, paired mogul and mixed ski cross competitions in freestyle and mixed competitions in snowboarding in parallel slalom. from itg

Nylander and Co choke again when it matters

I think some of your facts are wrong. Yea don't agree with shooting being dropped.. but 40 events (some which were doubled up) is a joke. To say dropping weightlifting from 45 to 15 is a farce is laughable. Every MSE awards medals for the total lift only...so are those events a joke ? Wrestling is on the Birmingham program and has many (womens) events under subscribed atm (ie not enough entries). Australia has no tradition in this sport and its no surprise they have not included it in their home games. However, there will be more sports added and wrestling is still a possibility.

Looks like is the new as they recently acquired 3 Kenyans to run for them

We are at 10500 athletes now. I doubt there will be further cuts
