More hockey in the summer

Two sailing qualifiers will happen in the next two weeks: 49er, 49erfx and Nacra17 Worlds in Halifax Eligible boats: 49er: (two will qualify) 49erfx: (two will qualify) Nacra17: (two will qualify) South American Windsurfing Championships in Eligible boats: Men: Women: Two will qualify for each

Not sure on this but former World Junior Champion in the team air rifle (9th individually) last year Rajpreet Singh of India competed at the Canadian national this year. Not sure if that implies he is switching nationalities, but if he does, instantly that would give Canada solid medal hope! Also former Turkish shooter Ozer Tugrul is also competing for Canada.

Looks like the latter, he competed at the 2010 and 2014 Commonwealth Games and 2011 Pan Am Games. On/Off performance, hopefully he can keep it up On the other hand, Trysten Routledge who hit 122/125 in Lima 2019, had 121/125 at last year's nationals, had 113/125 to finish 6th! in the first half of nationals this year. Very disappointing result for him. Coincidentally, Richard McBride finishes second to Caswell this year (they paired up to win Pairs Skeet silver at Delhi 2010). Both will likely be on Canada's 2022 Continental Championships team. Highly disappointing as just two months ago, Routledge easily beat the two at the High Performance trials.

Jason is a two time Olympian

Is that a reliable website?

Not sure how reliable this source is, but here is one: https://aadeporte.com.ar/2022/08/17/santiago-2023-gimnasia-plazas-olimpicas/ In Spanish, maybe one of our Argentinian users can confirm.

Not atm...but I'm sure news will break soon. Sorry about that.

Pan American Games will be the qualification tournament for the Americas (for all three disciplines)

Does he have a Canadian wife?

Taekwondo sees a slight cut to its quotas (I believe first Olympic sport to see a reduction from 2019). Qualification system (in Spanish)

qualifies for the men's volleyball tournament. Which means either and/or will not qualify.

Canada won 13 out of 22 gold medals at the Pan American track cycling championships.

Wakeboarding quotas: M: W: qualifies in each event as hosts, + best non qualified athlete at Asuncion 2022.

Both declined last time due to the World Cup, but there is a bit of a gap from WC to PAG next year so maybe both will play

Hockey Canada is also facing backlash and negativity in the press for covering up two serial assaults at two different world juniors. The apathy towards them could also be contributing to it.

Because they are too good (literally) since they have to place between 3-5th, which is highly unlikely with the team's strength atm

Canoe Sprint quotas (using race results). This system is always convoluted and the actual quotas may be totally different. Men's canoe/Women's canoe and women's kayak had leftover quotas as not enough entries could fill them up. My guess is they are awarded as wildcards, but we shall see. Men's Canoe: x3, x2 x1 Men's Kayak: x6 x5, x4, x3, x2 x1 Women's Canoe: x3, x2 x1 Women's Kayak: x6 x5 x4, x2, x1 14 nations qualified (ie all competing nations at the qualifier, qualified at least one boat). Good too see Belize qualify again in this sport.

A 13 year old won the air rifle at nationals!

Archery qualification system Shooting qualification system

General rule is no Olympians, Commonwealth etc. but we have Dawn Richardson, Beijing Olympian in bobsleigh competing in athletics here.

Canada had a pretty decent games for what was especially a team missing a lot of its top athletes. Canada could have easily won more golds and medals had the best team been here. I Guess in hindsight you can't really dwell on what ifs. 26 gold ties Delhi's total is almost double 2018. 92 medals is the most since Manchester 2002. These are strong numbers and hopefully more in 2026. However with no wrestling or judo on the program atm, it will be tough.

With USA qualifying, does that mean Canada and Brazil basically have a huge hurdled cleared for them?
