Diving update: Vincent Riendeau will not compete at nationals, which means the team going to Tokyo will likely have 9 divers 3m: Ciprick is competing, Fofana could challenge. No Gagne unfortunately, doesn't appear his injury has fully healed. 10m: Zsombor Murray/Wiens + Riendeau for the synchro event 3m: Abel, Ware, Citrini-Beaulieu (synchro) 10m: Benefito + McKay (individual + synchro)

Apparently not

Adam Keenan just threw 72.87m at nationals, which will put him tied in 35th position (with the German athlete holding the TB). THere are three Russians in the rankings whose results can be discounted, so it looks like Adam is just going to miss the Olympics based on a tiebreak! Unfortunately the men's hammer will not be held on Tuesday, but if they could add it last minute, he can get more points. Tomorrow's storylines: Jordan Young in the discus, will need the standard. SB is 1.16m away from the standard. Rachel Anders + Trinity Tutti in women's discus will also need the standard Lucia Stafford will try to hit the standard to join her sister in Tokyo in the 1500, but she is also in a ranking spot Charles Philibert-Thiboutot will need the standard in the 1500 to qualify Michael Mason + Django Lovett chase the standard in the high jump. Mason is comfortably in with a quota in the WR, but Lovett will need a 2.24+ jump and a top 2 finish to move ahead in the rankings into the top 32 (currently in 33)

Hopefully we see Jose Bautista in Tokyo if DR advances.

Diving Canada confirms a spot in the 3m

v for the North American quota men's vs winner of and for the women's

This is good news for the B standard swimmers hoping to get in

Michelle Harrison with a 12.98.... now .14 away from the standard. Today's race was in horrible conditions (heavy rain) so maybe she can pull it off on Tuesday (her last chance)

What happened to the second team?

Gymnastics Canada is appealing Jeremy's Chartier's omission (no idea why/what the reasoning is) SO this is the third NF to appeal a decision in regards to the Olympics, Equestrian, Boxing, and now Gymnastics.

Tomorrow stories to watch out for: First race, Harrison and Abdul-Rashid .27 seconds outside their SB in qualifying directly. They need the standard atp to qualify. Taylor Erdhardt had an amazing first 4 events, and then blew it in the 400, however, if he can get PBs all 5 events on day 2, he has an outside shot. Adam Keenan goes in the hammer throw, he needs a huge result to go to Tokyo. There are 4 Russians listed ahead of him.

Yee and Butterworth 1-2 again in the women's steeplechase, but just outside the auto qualifying time. However, with the results Yee will move into 38th, and Butterworth, will be 44th out of 45.

Women's 800- Lindsay Butterworth wins the Canadian championships with the automatic Olympic qualifying time 1:59.19, However, Melissa Bishop did not look her best, hoping she can improve before the Olympics. Bishop was also right on the standard. Third was Madeleine Kelly, and she will improve her rankings to 39th out of 48th, giving her some breathing room.

Has the team size been increased to 13? Canada named its squad and it has 13 players, nothing about an alternate. https://rugby.ca/en/news/2021/06/canada-s-tokyo-2020-rugby-sevens-teams-announced

Still waiting.

The announcers re: Nathaniel Mechler, car broke down on the way from presumably Toronto to Montreal in the middle of nowhere. Due to covid regulations, cannot ride in the tow truck, so he hid in the trunk of the car for 45 mins so he can make the nationals. What dedication!

Noelle Montcalm with a SB of 56.34, will put her with 1183 points in the IAAF rankings, one point ahead of last place.

Defending Olympic Champion Derek Drouin has withdrawn due to his body not recovering from quarantine in time for Canadian trials. He had not qualified as of yet.
