Just an fyi, Canada will not compete in the women's 4x100 relay. And no Canada in the women's 4x400 relay (4th place in Rio) and no Canadians in the 20km walk for men (defending bronze)?

There are so many boring sports on the Summer Olympic program (like soccer) that it wasn't too hard to pick. Swimming/Athletics/Basketball/Beach volleyball/Rugby (I picked baseball by accident lol, though that isn't too bad itself).

I am only going to comment on moments from 2002 onward (ie the Olympics I have seen live). Best 1) Vancouver Men's gold medal hockey match - you cannot write a better moment 2) Penny Olekisak's 4 medals, breaking the record for most medals by a Canadian at a Summer Olympics. 3) Women's soccer team wins bronze in London. Worst 1) Perdita Felicien falls in the 2004 Olympic final (women's 100m hurdles). This one was so crushing, as she was the defending world champion. 2) Norwegian referee robbing Canada's women's soccer team from advancing to gold medal game in London. 3) Jeremy Wotherspoon falls at the 2002 Olympics (speed skating)

After 8 medals in 2015 I predict 1 for Canada this year (Warner).

CBC News Alerts‏Verified account @CBCAlerts 4m4 minutes ago More Andre De Grasse suffered an injury on Monday. He's being pulled from the World Championships in London, coach tells CBC.

Lacrosse is the only one that meets the criteria of those sports. However, with baseball/softball being added it would be difficult.

I just realized the alpine skiing qualification system effectively screws the smaller nations which qualify more than 2 athletes per games. For ex. Argentina, Chile, Australia among others are now limited at 2 per nation. This is definitely the way to grow the sport FIS

Her bg is a cool story: http://www.midi-madagasikara.mg/sports/2017/06/02/jeux-olympiques-de-coree-la-belle-histoire-de-mialitiana-clerc-20e-francaise-en-ski/ She was actually born in Madagascar and was adopted at a young age to live in France.

Its updated with FIS Points: 107.29 She should be safe to qualify!

Canada won bronze at the FIBA Women's U-19 World Cup in Italy This follows the men winning the gold in Egypt. The future of Canadian basketball is bright

Wow if Sweden finds a good backstroker in the women's events, they could challenge for gold.

The 2 time doper wins another medal.

Pickrem 3 medals in Olympic events so far..

French spelling...

The Canada Games (where all 13 provinces/territories are the competing teams) began in Winnipeg yesterday.

Some sad news will not compete. Both athletes retired...

Actually its England and Australia who run away with Canada usually a distant third. However its not like those 3 dominate everything. The second tier nations like New Zealand (mind you putting them as second tier is very awkward for me, but in these game they are) Jamaica, South Africa, Kenya and India among others do well.

Canada received additional invitations: Annie Leblanc (800m), Maria Bernard (3000m steeplechase), Angela Whyte (100m hurdles), Alyx Treasure (high jump), Taryn Suttie (shot put), Kelsie Ahbe (pole vault), Lindsey Butterworth (800m), and Leya Buchanan (100m) and Alycia Butterworth (3000m steeplechase). Brendon Rodney will now also participate in the men’s 100m. Source:http://athletics.ca/athletics-canada-names-2017-iaaf-world-championships-team/#sthash.CwUU71qz.dpbs

lol Russia winning medals, I bet at least one is not clean.

The following teams have qualified. For basketball it was the top 3 in the world rankings, host nation and 4 invited nations. For netball it was the top 11 in the world rankings + host nation. Men's Basketball teams Australia Cameroon Canada England India New Zealand Nigeria Scotland Women's Basketball teams Australia Canada England India Jamaica Malaysia Mozambique New Zealand Netball Australia New Zealand England Jamaica South Africa Malawi Fiji Wales Uganda Northern Ireland Barbados Scotland :

Well for 2020 it was not the IOC's decision, rather it was Tokyo 2020. Japan has no tradition in the sport and of course rejected it. However, with 24/28 going to 'better' squash nations, I would be shocked if we didn't see the sport then.

And retired players like Jarome Iginla and Shane Doan would be likely as well (granted they do not get NHL contracts).

Exactly, her time in the butterfly final was faster here than in Rio... so its not like she is regressing.
