Vancouver 2010 is my favorite because of..well, because of everything
The biggest emotions (from the Nodar Kumaritashvili tragedy to the absolutely fantastic Hallelujah cover performance) and then the whole games since the first event (Ski Jumping Normal Hill Individual to the very last second of the games and the goal of Sid in the Ice Hockey final.
everything just everything, our first ever Gold medal from winter Olympics since the independence ofc..by Nastya already in the first day of competition, our most successful Winter games in history with 3 medals, 4th place of our Ice Hockey Mens team, participation historic of our womens Ice Hockey team..The absolutely stunning images, landscapes, real winter games. really everything, I can not. It´s stronger than me, Vancouver will be for ever my Number one. from A to Z.

I love OG in Asia because I love watching events at 4am for personal life reasons it will be more difficult for me to follow 2020 than it was in 2008 but still, i will enjoy those nights falling asleep in the sofa with a rowing race on tv.

I have worked for the organizing committee for the 2015 Pan/Parapan American Games. Currently working with both the Toronto Blue Jays, MLB team and Badminton Ontario (to help plan the 2018 World Junior Badminton Championships).
I have also volunteered for a year with the organizing committee of the 2017 Invictus Games. And most recently at the 2018 Winter Olympics.
Nothing beats working in sport!

More of a hobby, but I rebooted my blog to report on the 2020 qualification process, hopefully gaining early information on nation's athlete's selection. Once I get enough viewers I'll upgrade to have my own domain name.

Canoeing is unpredictable, and she did lost last season iirc.

intoronto got a reaction from heywoodu in How Many Athletes will Your Nation Qualify for the Summer Olympic Games 2020?
CANADA
Archery: 1-4. One male will qualify most likely, a men's team
Artistic Swimming: 8. Canada is by far the strongest team in the continent and should easily qualify.
Athletics: 46-54. This sport is hard to predict and who knows who will rise to the occasion.I estimate around 50 total.
Badminton: 4. Michelle Li and a men's singles quota + a doubles team through a continental spot.
Baseball: 0-24. Only 6 teams, they should have put 8 and reduced spots from fringe sports like canoe slalom (kidding). As much as Canada has a history of performing well without full strength baseball teams, I don't think it will happen for Canada, however the two time defending Pan American Games gold medallist should have a chance.
Basketball: 24-28, anything less then qualifying in both 5 a side tournament will be a major disappointment. The men's 3x3 team has an outside shot of also qualifying.
Beach Volleyball: 6-8. Two women's teams should qualify along with a men's team through the rankings. Another men's team should qualify through the continental tour.
Boxing: 2. This will be a hard sport for Canada to qualify in. I predict one man and one woman.
Canoeing - Slalom: 2. C1 men, K1 men.
Canoeing - Sprint: 9-10. Men: 3-4 quotas. Women 6 quotas (full team)
Cycling - BMX: 1-2 (Troy Nhaug), possible quota in freestyle
Cycling - Mountain Bike: 3. 1 man, 2 women. Not sure what is going on with this discipline in Canada. Results have trended downward
Cycling - Road: 5. 2 men and 3 women.
Cycling - Track: 10. Both team pursuits, one in each gender per sprint event.
Diving: 9-10. 3-4 men (all individual men on borderline of qualifying), 6 women (included is both synchronized events)
Equestrian: 9, full team. Anything less would be a major disappointment.
Fencing: 8-10. I expect the women's foil + another team event to qualify (through rankings). If not then one individual per event + women's foil team.
Field Hockey: 0. This sport has the best qualification system by far for team events, which makes it hard for Canada to qualify. However, the men just need to beat Argentina and that is easier said than done. The women's team has drastically improved this year (and last) and maybe they can continue to do that and surprisingly qualify (I highly doubt this, but who knows).
Football: 18 Women's team should qualify.
Golf: 4. 2 men and 2 women.
Gymnastics - Artistic: 6. Full women's team + 1 man
Gymnastics - Rhythmic: 0, no one of quality to qualify
Gymnastics - Trampoline: 1 or 2 women.
Handball: 0, not good enough as Argentina/Brazil to challenge.
Judo: 8. Men's 73, 81, 90, 100 kg. Women: 52, 57, 63, 70 kg.
Karate: 1, in individual kata either men or women.
Modern Pentathlon: 2 women.
Rowing: Approx. 26-30.
Rugby Sevens: 12-24. Women should qualify and the men have a decent shot.
Sailing: 11 Men: 5, Rsx, finn, laser, 470 Women: 4 RSx, Laser radial, 49erx Mixed:2
Shooting: Shooting is at a low level in Canada. Predicting at most 2 athletes.
Skateboarding: 3. 2 men in street, 1 women in street.
Softball: 15. Canada is one of the top 3 in the world, and should qualify.
Sport Climbing: 1. 1 Man
Surfing: 2. Not sure, but I predict one per gender.
Swimming: 32. 10 men + 20 women in pool. 1+1 in open water
Table Tennis: 2. Mo Zhang and Eugene Wang
Taekwondo: 1 in any weight class/gender
Tennis: 2-4. Shapovalov and Raonic should qualify. If Dabrowski gets into the top 8 (12th rn) in the doubles, then two women will qualify too.
Triathlon: 5. 2 men, 3 women
Volleyball: 12-24. Men should qualify, and the women should challenge for a spot, especially if the USA qualifies through the world qualifier.
Water Polo: 12-24. With 10 teams, the women should qualify. The men have an outside shot.
Weightlifting: This will be almost impossible to qualify in. I am predicting at a minimum 2: Boady Santavy and Maude Charron.
Wrestling: 5. 4 women, and one man (125 kg). Wrestling has really collapsed in Canada it appears
Total Sports: All sports minus field hockey + handball
Optimistic Total Athletes: 405
Realistic Total Athletes: Around 316
Pessimistic Total Athletes: Anything below realistic total

The results website is the worst I have seen for any MSE. Every year its like MSE events fight to see how much worse they can get.
I had to find results on non-official website links

Canada is not qualified in women's field hockey. Canada will have to play Brazil in a series to see who qualifies, that's if Brazil would even be interested in competing for the spot.

Such cruel luck for Barbados in men's field hockey. Winning first two games to go out in the group stage and the opportunity to qualify for the 2019 Pan Am Games.
