What a bizarre decision. I guess they want to save him for the relay and hope for a good result

It's bizarre. And in jumping Foster was the highest ranked. In their release they kept saying "Ballard is the second highest women in the rankings" without mentioning first was Foster. Do you see any chance of a medal for Canada in any of the 6 events?

fyi July 8th is last day for any sort of reallocations.

What are the possible reallocations?

Brandon Mcbride has retired. Adam Keenan will retire after the Olympics.

Anyone "purchased" so mainly Qatari and Bahrani athletes. Also any or which are all suspected of doping or having high doping #s

got a reallocated spot in the men's 400... which means and got one as well (or declined)

I checked the eventing rankings and our top athlete is also not going. So in all 3 disciplines our top ranked athlete is not going. IDGI (im sure a lot goes into the selection, but this just seems odd)

Canada recieved three reallocated quota spots; Men's 110m hurdles: Craig Thorne Women's 1500m: Kate Current Women's 5000m: Briana Scott This brings the team to 51 athletes. No others expected.

Radio Canada reporting Craig Thorne, Briana Scott and Kate Current have qualified Edit: official by AC. The way its phrased it seems like no further reallocation is possible

Some drama over the dressage selection:https://www.eurodressage.com/2024/07/05/canadian-olympic-team-2024-paris-announced-chia-lodged-appeal 2 out of 3 disciplines where the top ranked rider for Canada is not going

Our number won't go up if she gets in. She would replace one of the relay runners.

If Tunks gets in as well ill be happy

Maldives: 5 athletes Athletics: 1 male Swimming: 1 male 1 female Badminton: 1 female Table tennis: 1 female

Sri Lanka: 6 athletes Athletics: 3 (1 male tbc + 2 women) Swimming: 2 (1 male + 1 woman) Badminton: 1 (1 male) Smallest team since LA84

Yup and Multi sport event host will only see negatives in the media (that's what gets the clicks after all)

Looks like lost their tripartie quota in the 75kg (which originally was an event without a tripartie spot). I suspect they just corrected it.

I wish WA did live updates like the FIS does for the Winter Olympics.. It's way more fun

Looks like Rodney's not Brown's

Junior sailor Carlos Charabati has won gold at the Worlds in the ILCA 4 event!

Yes Josh's list has 314. We will likely be higher in the end, as I hope we get a few athletics reallocations

Canada currently at 314, the exact # in Rio. However number will likely go up as athletics reallocations come through Thanks to @Joshfor keeping track here This would represent a drop of 67 from Tokyo.

Men's 4x100 actually has 7? Degrasse, Rodney, Brown, Blake, Murrary, Asemota and Adjibi
