Canada's team size stands at 367 athletes atm. These can add to the team: -Men's hammer throw (Athletics) - Adam Keenan is the first reserve -Men's basketball (12 athletes) - Waiting for qualification tournament to end on Sunday -Laurence Vincent Lapointe is still waiting to hear if she can compete in canoeing -An appeal on the exclusion of the equestrian jumping team is still outstanding ? -There is an appeal currently regarding Jeremy Chartier's potential participation in Tokyo. We will know the verdict on Friday. -Still waiting word on Yvette Yong receiving the unused quota from the Oceania Qualification tournament. -Any B standard swimmer being invited to the games (unlikely, but still a possibility exists). so if everything is positive then we are looking at 385+ athletes

I wonder if it's the same for other teams sports as well.

Apparently Canada will only allow the two women qualified to race in the relay (tbc)

Cédric Fofana will be the 3m entrant for Canada

it is 5+5

Judo say hi

If anything Greece should have won this game. Greece had practice matches and were used to being a team. This was Canada's first matchup and it was clear there was no cohesion/team work
