  1. After two days of swimming finals at the Commonwealth Youth Games we have a lot of exotic nations winning medals such as And Singapore with 4 gold medals!
  2. And the plot thickens... https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/nhl-2018-winter-olympics-alternate-schedule-alternate-reality-172053825.html
  3. i see a lady carrying the Belgian flag??
  4. Japan shocks the world and beats the USA by 8 goals!
  5. And this from the 2015 Pan Am Games in platform...
  6. That 22.00 timing was without legal wind conditions... idk if that is correct. Yes a medal is likely impossible but you never know in athletics.
  7. Weirder things have happened, for ex. 10 years ago Sri Lanka won bronze in this event with a slower time.
  8. Commonwealth Youth Games started yesterday in the Bahamas who replaced Saint Lucia as hosts. Here are results. Not all countries are competing (Brunei Darussalam, Cameroon, Falkland Islands, Montserrat, Seychelles and Swaziland are not). A lot of countries skipped the World Youth Championships in athletics to compete here so hopefully its a high level of competition. Also some countries (like Canada) did not send teams in all sports like they usually do.
  9. Crystal Emmanuel broke the Canadian record in the 200 metres on Tuesday, rewriting one of the oldest records on the books. The 25-year-old from Toronto sprinted to a time of 22.50 seconds at a meet in Ireland, breaking the record of 22.62 set by Marita Payne-Wiggins — the mother of NBA star Andrew Wiggins — in 1983. Hopefully a final in London, and possibly a medal !?
  10. I can double check for you when I get home, which will be early morning your time
  11. http://time.com/4862180/canada-bc-british-columbia-wildfires/
  12. Pan American Championships in Miami, USA http://www.teamusa.org/USA-Weightlifting/Events/2017/International/SrPanAms/Start-List
  13. Here is a great article on the possible makeup of Canada's men's hockey team for PyeongChang: http://www.tsn.ca/some-unfamiliar-names-may-play-for-canada-at-olympics-1.715158 Doesn't look as bad as I expected
  14. Women's baseball has no chance of getting on the program. There are like 12 ranked teams and women's softball is already in. However women's baseball did make an appearance at the 2015 Pan American Games (however it won't in 2019).
  15. This is a very solid concept. For the 2015 Pan American games there were 17 cities with venues and the distances were further spread a part. Transporation was an issue but overall the games were a success. Considering some venues are 2 hours away for Tokyo 2020, this seems like a normal concept now.
  16. http://fina.org/competition-results/c47678b6-47ab-4f9f-9c8b-9b1bdd81708c/45/9887 Click on results to see entry lists
  17. The 2017 North American Indigenous Games begin in Toronto today. Website:http://naig2017.to/en/
  18. The IAAF is basically wanting to create a continental championship for this age group
  19. Azerbaijan could host tomorrow... but the IOC seems to favour the big names (Almaty would have won 2022 if that weren't the case) or ones that have a really compelling story. Azerbaijan does not check of either, and if there is another bid they will likely lose.
  20. Canada has a mix of new/old divers on the team including a 14 year old (hopefully he is our next Despatie, but he is only competing in a mixed event).
  21. There are so many reasons why Qatar shouldn't host, and it never made the shortlist (ie doesn't meet the standards)... so I don't see the IOC gravitating to them.
  22. Toronto forgo 2024 to bid for 2028 (at least that was the plan). As someone from the city it is frustrating but at the same time if you snooze you lose.
