  1. Wow!
    intoronto reacted to james89 in Canada National Thread   
    This CBC article confuses things even more: https://www.cbc.ca/sports/olympics/summer/canoe-kayak/canoe-sprint-team-laurence-vincent-lapointe-1.6092940
     
    "Canoe Kayak Canada told CBC Sports on Wednesday it would enter a C2 500 team, though it was still waiting on approval from the International Olympic Committee."
     
    I would be surprised if ICF allowed Canada to announce LVL if the spot wasn't confirmed.

    And two additional quotas! What a pleasant surprise.

    I feel like this announcement was so anti-climatic after all the speculation. But yay. It’s great news.

    For Canada, I think 24 total with 4-5 golds would be expected.  
     
    This is probably the most unpredictable Olympics since WWII, even at the Games there could be an outbreak which sidelines half the athletes competing.

    Personne ne veut vendre la mèche, mais tout indique que c’est le scénario qui sera présenté à la presse mercredi. À tout le moins, les gens sondés dans le milieu lundi étaient tous très optimistes pour [elle].
     
    My quick and dirty translation:
     
    Nobody wants to talk about it on the record, but everything indicates that this scenario [LVL competing in C-1 and C2] will be announced to the press on Wednesday. In any case, insiders we spoke to on Monday appeared to be optimistic [for LVL’s chances].

    This says it was supposed to be today: https://www.lapresse.ca/sports/jeux-olympiques/2021-07-05/laurence-vincent-lapointe-sera-fixee-mardi.php
     
    and this (published after the first) says Wednesday: https://www.msn.com/fr-ca/actualites/région de trois-rivières/laurence-vincent-lapointe-sera-fixée-mercredi/ar-AALNEx6
     
    As for the speculation, I read it again, I don't speak and was using translator, and it doesn't seem so. I originally read this translated line "
    If Canada won after months of waiting, everything indicates that this place in C-2 will also give access to C-1 to Vincent Lapointe." as her getting a spot, but I think it now means she can race the c1 if given a quota in c2.

    Tomorrow. French Canadian media are speculating good news.
    Was supposed to be today but got delayed to tomorrow, can only imagine why, but I'd suspect the LVL situation.

    Beijing 2008 was the most for Greece (156) not including the two times we hosted, and since then we went down every time (103 in London, 93 in Rio, 83 in Tokyo) so hopefully for Brazil's sake they wont suffer the same fate as us.

    Yeah. Seems like World Athletics started insisting at some point on the universality athletes entering 100 m events. I guess to round up their already controversial universality system. Pathetic.
     
    Bermuda will have two athletes then....?
