Cause I'm dumb

Should be win-win for Canada. They either get the continental spot, or the host quota.

gets the host quota apparently.

The announcer: "he is closer to the b*tch" lmaoo

tomorrow

What a comeback from  amazing shooting

Canada is in this event too but stories like these make me more interested.

You can always support  Anneta Kyridou in the women's single sculls (I don't think Canada is participating in this event either). She has faced so many hardships and yet she still qualified for the Games. She might not win a medal but I am looking forward to supporting her after she overcame years of physical and psychological abuse from coaches (which she made public and created a scandal in Greece), changed categories three times in the last two years because her partners kept getting injured, all while her single mother was battling cancer and the federation was fighting against her and her mother during all of this.
 
Still just 22 years old which is young for rowing, especially for an event like single sculls so maybe in the future it will be more likely that she wins an Olympic medal 
 
Anyways, I hope this was enough to sell her story to you

The world record holder and defending world champion in the 200m backstroke, Reagan Smith, failed to qualify in that event. She was third at the US trials.

I would love to see Canada medal in some unexpected events. Fencing? Archery? Sailing? One of them would be fun. 
 
A medal for the men’s swimming relays would be great. 

Day 1 Canada qualifiers (not official, but hit the A standard in the final). "Selection committee" will make the ultimate call due to Covid 19.
 
Women's 100m butterfly: Maggie McNeil (56.19) and Katerine Savard (57.86)
Men's 100m butterfly: Joshua Liendo (51.72), had 51.40 in prelims.
Women's 100m backstroke:  Kylie Masse (57.70, new NR) and Taylor Ruck (59.60)
Men's 100m backstroke: Markus Thormeyer (53.40), Cole Pratt (53.54)
Women's 400m freestyle: Surprisingly no one hit the A standard. I'd expect them to still name two people here.
Men's 400m freestyle: No one with the standard.
