#BanRussia

Which sport(s) do you think is optisimistic?

My medal predictions for Canada: Athletics: 6 - De Grasse in either the 100 or 200, Barber, Drouin, 4x100 relay (men), Warner, Brianne Theisen-Eaton. I don't think Bishop can beat three men ahead of her (sorry to be blunt). Basketball: 1 - Women's team. Canada can beat any team in group A imo, but Spain/Serbia/USA in Group B will set the tone. Boxing: 1 - With luck both women will need just one win to medal. Hopefully one can pull it out. Canoeing: 1 - De Jonge in the K1 200 Cycling: 3 - Women's team pursuit; either Batty or Pendrel in the mountain biking, Beveridge in the omnium Diving: 3 - Both women's synchro events and Jennifer Abel in the 3m individual event. Golf: 1 - Brooke Henderson (hopefully, but this is probably the hardest sport to predict). Gymnastics: 1 - MacLennan in trampoline Judo: 1 - Again this is a hard sport to predict. However with three seeded athletes (Valois-Foriter, Beauchmin-Pinard and Zupancic) I believe 1 is possible. Others such as Reyes and Margdelion are young and have potential as well. Rowing: 2 - Women's eights and Women's lighweight double sculls Rugby sevens: 1 - Women's team Wrestling: 3 - Gallays, Yeats and Wiebe to medal 24 in total Yes I predicted 0 for swimming, but realistically I see no medals for Canada in swimming.

McLaren Report will be released tomorrow in Toronto at 9am local time

Saudi Arabia also got 2 female wild cards in athletics (100m and 800m) and one in Judo (52kg)

I think its possible. Canada is nominating Daniel Nestor to replace Raonic (Nestor wasn't on the original team).

What is the possible realocations ? Looks like Canada misses out

Too bad 3 men are ahead of her...

Ridiculous if you ask me. What a petty excuse. High maintenance athletes Our chance of a tennis medal is not good now.

Hard to believe these games were a year ago!!

Raonic out of Rio!! Nestor will replace him in the doubles.

OMG!! Raonic out of Rio!!!

you ask a lot of questions that are pretty obvious

Canada names its team tomorrow.

Canada's goal is at least 19 medals (one better than in 2012) and top 12 in overall medals.

His qualifying time was not accepted by Athletics Canada because it was raced in altitude.

Only will be known first week of games.

I'd bet Bingham will start the 100 ,she will be recovered from injury by then (hopefully). Hyacinthe has no chance for a medal in the 100, let her focus on the relay (and 200, her best event).

Barring any last minute changes, Canada's team size will be 313 athletes.

Some surprising omissions such as Levins and Smith. This team could have easily been over 70 athletes.
