Typical Canada. Most medals but no gold...lol

The 1996 Olympic venue burned down

Beach volleyball teams confirmed: https://www.fivb.com/en/media/news_pressrelease/beach-volleyball-line-up-confirmed-for-birmingham-2022?id=96898 Nice too see Tuvalu!

Canada gained +4 quotas, +2 to enter a women's team pursuit in track cycling and +2 to enter a women's 4x100 relay

Is there a playlist?

Gold for Kelsey Mitchell to go along with team silver.

Now Guy Lafleur has passed away at 70, also from Lung Cancer. Two big losses in the Hockey world. RIP

Looks like they reduced one tripartie to guarantee 2 per confederation per singles event.

Sam Murray and Coby Iwassa won gold in the mens doubles at the Pan American Championships. No other medals were won. This bodes well for the Pan Am Games in 2023.

Lol I guess Doha 2024 will be the qualifier for relays now?

Rowing changes: LW2x (men and women), Asia and Americas each lose a boat (-8 quotas), and the Quad and Fours each lose a boat (-16). I wish they saved one of the fours events and reduced all continental quotas to one boat max.

I think E is for 2028....if 2 or more are found as dopers at Paris 2024.

Wow the swimming A times. Insane.

Lol as soon as we complain here more get released. It's like they read what we say here.

For sure less athletes. I predict women's soccer (defending champs) doesn't qualify either.

I'm also curious about the synchro events. Who will team up with who?

Some solid news in diving: https://diving.ca/rylan-wiens-sets-new-national-record-on-final-day-of-2022-winter-senior-national-diving-championships/

Some new tidbits: -Bowling cut to 48 quotas + 2 from Cali 2021 (down from 56 in Toronto and 64 in Lima/Guadalajara) -Fencing stays the same + Cali qualifiers, qualifier is at the Pan Am Championships this year in Asuncion -Water skiing stays the same in terms of quotas (48) -Judo has the same quotas, but this time a team event will also be contested + Cali qualifiers. 5 events (4 in the last two editions) will be used to rank athletes, with the top 9 qualifying per weight category, + 1 for host. -Wrestling has same quotas + 6 wild cards, half qualify from 2022 Pan ams and the rest at 2023. -Racquetball's quota cut from 60 to 48, looks like max 2 athletes per gender per NOC (cut from 4) -Rugby: No automatic qualification for Argentina, Canada and the USA. North American qualifier will be in November 2022. -Squash: Quotas cut to 48. No surprise here, the sports added in December of 2020 had their quotas slashed, 8 teams per gender qualify to compete in all 7 events, no individual qualification. It would be funny if 5+ countries were unique in the men's and women's, because then no mixed doubles can be held. -Archery is complicated
