  1. An Indian wrestler beating the defending Olympic champion in the women's 76kg ?
  2. Jennifer Jones goes undefeated to win the women's worlds! I hope Curling Canada changes the team selection system for future Olympics for a more overall approach versus a one and done at the trials.
  3. Its a shame baseball only gets 6 spots and sports like field hockey get double that.
  4. I submitted my votes... all I can say is what a difference one contest makes. The country that ranked dead last last time got top honours this time
  5. Don't forget Canada... 2 time defending Pan American Games champion in what will likely be similar team compositions for these qualifying events.
  6. All countries had their quotas slashed for the event, only 80% of the last 3 events averaged can be sent by each country (in the individual events). So strict countries like South Africa this meant reducing their already strict set teams. This has left a ridiculous level of competition, for ex. Malaysia and South Africa have the same team size in athletics. Any athlete from Malaysia would probably struggle to make South Africa's team for ex. India and Canada have the same almost (31 v 35), and majority of Indian athletes wouldn't even qualify for Canada's team. Looking at the wrestling entries, there are only 5 in a lot of the women's categories and other events too have a small number of entries. So note to the CGF: Instead of reducing the county's allocation, make a qualification system for each sport that allows a good number of entrants, like they did with weightlifting.
  7. won both the men's and women's junior worlds, nice way to redeem the curling in this country after the disaster in PyeongChang.
  8. 5) 2010 Winter Olympics: Alex Bilodeau winning Canada's first ever Olympic gold medal on home soil, after failing to win any in 1976 and 1988. 4) 1972 Summit Series - Game 8, defeating the Soviet Union 3) Donovan Bailey wins the 100m gold medal in Atlanta 1996, breaking the World Record in the process. 2) Women's hockey gold in 2002. The officiating was horrible (against the Canadians) and the Americans had the Canadian flag on the floor of their dressing room. The Canadians took the last laugh though by winning the gold and starting a streak of four straight gold medals! 1) Olympic hockey gold in 2010 for the men, breaking the record for the most gold medals by a country at a single Winter Olympics.
  9. IKR, but if the IOC allows them in, it opens up the possibility of a lot more wanting in, which would water down the Summer Olympics more
  10. Unfortunately, Canada4thewin has not been online since Feb 27, so I have gone ahead and chosen a song: CANADA "Passionfruit" Drake
  11. qualified in girls' beach volleyball and qualified in boys'
  12. Have heard (though just a proposal at the moment), that some countries are pushing for a min. 2 quotas (per event) to be allowed from Americas/Africa/Asia....
  13. http://www.biggestglobalsports.com/ What does everyone think??
  14. Not necessarily true. I am sure the IOC will welcome Turin lol
  15. They dropped slalom because when it was originally added it was a one time deal for Russia.
