Final results in Olympic events for the first World Cup of 2022 K-1 Men 1000: Brian MALFESI: 8th in heat (last) did not qualify for further rounds) K-2 Men 500 Pierre POULIN / Simon MCTAVISH: 1st in heat, 4th in SF (qualified for B), 1st in B final (10th overall) Nicholas MATVEEV / Laurent LAVIGNE: 6th in heat (did not advance) K-4 Men 500 Nicholas MATVEEV/ Pierre POULIN / Laurent LAVIGNE / Simon MCTAVISH: 2nd in their heat, 2nd in the SF and qualified for Final A, 6th in A final C-1 Men 1000 Andrew BILLARD: 6th in heat, 6th in SF (qualified for B final), 8th in B final (last), 17th overall. Connor FITZPATRICK: 6th in heat, 6th in SF (qualified for B final). DNS B final C-2 Men 500 Craig SPENCE / Bret HIMMELMAN: 5th in heat, 9 in SF (last) and did not qualify for the A or B final Tyler LAIDLAW / Alix PLOMTEUX: 6th in heat, 5th in SF, qualified for the B final. 6th in B final, 15th overall. K-1 Women 500 Michelle RUSSELL: 3rd in heat, 5th in SF, qualified for the B final, 1st in B final (10th overall) K-2 Women 500 Michelle RUSSELL / Riley MELANSON: 6th in heat, 8th in SF, did not advance. Andreanne LANGLOIS / Toshka BESHARAH: 3rd in heat, 3rd in semifinal (qualified for A final), 7th overall K-4 Women 500 Andreanne LANGLOIS / Natalie DAVISON / Riley MELANSON /Toshka BESHARAH: 2nd in their heat, 3rd in the SF and qualified for Final A. 8th in final A C-1 Women 200 Katie VINCENT: 4th in heat, 2nd in SF, qualified for A final, WON SILVER MEDAL Sophia JENSEN: 4th in heat, 3rd in SF, qualified for A final, 6th place C-2 Women 500 Sophia JENSEN / Julia OSENDE: 5th in the heat, 1st in SF, qualified for Final A, 5th in the A final (their time in the SF would have won them bronze). Katie VINCENT / Sloan MACKENZIE: 4th in the heat, 4th in SF, one spot out of Final A (no B final) Overall, a lot of promising performances, in particular the men's K-4 team, which essentially got 17 years younger (substituting in Laurent Laurent LAVIGNE for Mark De Jong from Tokyo). Slightly disappointing result for Connor Fitzpatrick, was expecting him to make Final A. The women's canoeing team has a good future, but needs to develop to fight for medals consistently. The men's K-2 Men 500 that finished in 10th also looked promising.

And they finished fourth ... lol Canada's favourite number in sport!

Argentina (who lost to Canada) just allowed England to score to eliminate Canada. So much for fair play at the WC stop in France.

Thanks! Where do you rank them in terms of worldwide competition? Do you think these two can help a Canadian team qualify for Paris at the 2022 FEI Eventing World Championships?

Canada won nine medals at Futures Cup last weekend. The Canadians swept the podium in the men’s 10 m event. Blainville’s Benjamin Tessier earned himself the gold with a score of 500.35. Rylan Wiens, of Saskatoon, finished second overall with 453.54, just ahead of Matt Cullen (439.30), of Rosemere. So that is three men over 500 points in the 10m individual event in the last year Matt Cullen and Benjamin Tessier then earned silver in the synchronized event, thanks to a score of 406.92, which is higher than the score Vincent Riendeau and Nathan Zsombor-Murray had at the 2020 Olympics. Mia Vallée triumphed in the women’s 3 m event. The Kirkland native totalled 345.80 points, a personal record. This would have been a bronze medal performance in Tokyo!. Alberta’s Margo Erlam, the defending Canadian champion in this event, took home bronze with 309.40 points. Vallée and Erlam also teamed up for the 3 m synchro event, where they won gold with a score of 305.70., would have been bronze in Tokyo.

Eleanor Harvey won her third medal of 2021-2022, finishing 2nd to Olympic champion Lee Keifer of the USA at the Grand Prix in Incheon Korea this weekend She is now ranked 3rd in the world.

Colleen Loach finished in second at a meet in Tyron, USA: https://sirc.ca/news/canadians-deliver-strong-performances-in-4-eventing-action-at-tryon-international-spring-3-day-event/ Not too familiar with the sport, so maybe @dcrocan help expand on how this result ranks.

Tammara Thibeault won gold! And Charlie Cavanagh won Silver (she looked good in the first 2 mins, but then was dominated the rest of the way). Cavanagh is still young and should develop. The other who competed (Scarlett Delgado and Priyanka Dhillon) lost to eventual medalists in their events. Thibeault and Delgado are guaranteed the Commonwealth Games, and at least two men will be named to the team, leaving two slots open. Cavanagh is not guaranteed a spot according to the qualification system, as events until April are looked at. Would be a travesty if she is not sent.

Stephanie Barrett and Eric Peters qualified for the mixed team bronze medal match at the World Cup stop in Korea

omg! Unreal

Current Olympic champions Sweden and Scotland have seen their respective junior teams relegated at the World Juniors. This sport keeps getting unpredictable! At one point Latvia was leading the women's event.

Top 3 ranking as in the medal table.

Canada finishes the tournament with one gold and one silver, and a top 3 ranking, not bad!

So 50 total.

Yea 1 of the Canadians (Charlie Cavanagh) was only a bronze medalist at the Continental championships, so to win a Silver at the Worlds just two months later, doesn't seem to add up.

The following athletes are currently in qualification position for Oregon 2022. Italics = currently in WR quota and have not qualified via time Men 100m: Andre De Grasse, Jerome Blake, Aaron Brown 200m: Andre De Grasse, Aaron Brown, Jerome Blake 400m: N/A 800m: Marco Arop 1500m: William Paulson, Charles Philibert-Thiboutot, Cameron Proceviat 5000m: Mohammed Ahmed, Justyn Knight, Charles Philibert-Thiboutot 10,000m: Mohammed Ahmed 110m hurdles: N/A 400m hurdles: Malik Metivier Marathon: Cameron Levins, Ben Preisner 3000m steeplechase: Matthew Hughes, John Gay 20km walk: N/A 35km walk: Evan Dunfee 4x100 relay: 1st in rankings among nations not already qualified, should qualify (likely to add three athletes to the already qualified sprint athletes) 4x400 relay: 25th in rankings among nations not qualified, unlikely to qualify Decathlon: Damian Warner, Pierce Le Page High Jump: Django Lovett Long Jump, Triple Jump, Javelin throw, Pole Vault, Discus Throw, Shot Put: N/A (Damian Warner has the LJ standard).

Both into the finals!

After two races, the USA is well on the way to earning the first sailing quota for the Games in the lighting event. No other nation is close.

The women are at serious danger of being relegated to the B division...unbelievable Curling Canada needs to fire everyone in a leadership position.

Nice to see hockey being contested

Two medals guaranteed for Tripartie quota athlete from Tokyo Donjeta Sadiku also guaranteed a medal.

Two medals guaranteed at the Women's world Championships!
