Best is without a doubt for me. Worst is

Can a country qualify a spot through individual sprint and Keirin (ie 2 quotas)?

" WCF member association representatives are discussing a variety of curling topics over the three-day event in Cancun. On Thursday, the WCF said a new world team ranking system for the three Olympic disciplines (women's, men's, mixed doubles) will start this season. The system, to be administered by CurlingZone, will ensure that all relevant competitive events are eligible to earn points and that there's a fair weighting of points distributed globally, the federation said in a release."

Even though it was in altitude, this is an amazing result! Amazing considering she was discovered through a talent identification program and told track cycling would suit her the bet, so she tried it and now look! Same program found Pierce Le Page...

Best: Winter: Without a doubt the Vancouver 2010 Games, which arguably were the best games of recent memory. Not only did Canada break its national record for total medals, Canada won a record 14 gold medal, which has yet to be surpassed, even with the two following editions have much more events. Those games were special for Canadian sport and it concluded with the last gold medal in men's hockey. Cannot be beaten I think in the future for Canadian sport. Summer: The COC looks like at overall medals first, so counting that Rio (holds tiebreak over Atlanta) for summer games. I did not include the boycotted 1984 games, which were by the most successful games for Canada. Worst: Montreal 1976 and Calgary 1988, only country to never win Gold in hosting a Summer Olympics, managed to repeat it in 1988. This is in contrast to Vancouver 2010. In recent memory, Athens was a disaster and so was London. So if the pattern holds, Tokyo looks like a disaster waiting to happen, but with all these new medal events, I am hopeful for a record total of medals (again excluding LA 84).

Interesting. SO in theory Canada is allowed to qualify a composite team?

If Brazil does not meet the standard in eventing how is the team spot reallocated?

And qualifies for Tokyo!!

Canada did not enter a men's 8 in 2016 to spread the talent among multiple boats for ex. It flopped however ...

Canada qualified in every event for women except 4x (which they won silver in 2013), and LW2x (only rowing medal in Rio). Wow.

Its not guaranteed, especially if pole vault flops...

The Canadian men bombed here just like every sport. Would not be surprised to see just women medal in Tokyo.

If France wins a C-2 spot, Canada falls one quota spot available from qualifying a boat

http://aroundtherings.com/site/A__77821/Title__Top-Story-Replay-Politics-Intimidation-Strike-Boxing-Americas/292/Articles WOW!! Probably why Canada was on the losing end of so many contests in Lima. Get this sport of the Olympic program immediately!

Can Canada/USA qualify via the Americas qualification event?

If Egypt wins mixed pair, qualify in men's, if loses, gets two quotas

Only in judo will you see the 8th seed vs the 12th seed in round 2, while another matchup is 116th vs 13th

Gabun was a last minute competitor. He replaced Antoine Bouchard who for some reason or another withdrew.

Canada really took a hit in the medal count

Anyone know why Canada's second team does not get a quota here; http://www.fivb.org/EN/BeachVolleyball/OGRanking_W.asp

If anyone is interested 's competitor competed in cycling at the 2018 Commonwealth Games.

Sarcasm perhaps?

"An NOC can qualify a maximum of two (2) athlete quota places in each category, that is, Kayak men, Kayak women, Canoe men and Canoe women at the Continental Qualification Competitions." C2 boat = 2 and Oldershaw is the third athlete. The only hope now is Oldershaw wins the quota from next year's World Cup 2. Same scenario happened in 2016 iirc.
