JockCartier got a reaction from orangeman in Broadcast Info
Friedman called the swimming, and even diving IIRC) in 2016. He was actually pretty good.
But he did have an all-time terrible 15 minute stretch where he emphatically called gold medal swims by Phelps and Oleksiak by the wrong names

If you stick to their Gem interface you could probably do it with their replays of everything

For Canada, it's hard to go with anyone but McIntosh in the 400 IM.
Other than that, Duplantis in Pole Vault, Ledecky in 1500 freestyle I'd think are sure things... and I'll throw in Tentoglou in the long jump as an honorable mention

JockCartier got a reaction from Topicmaster1010 in Broadcast Info
He was diagnosed with heart failure just before the games. Friedman stepped in on very late notice, and aside from the disastrous 15 minutes, I think actually equated himself pretty well doing a couple tough sports on short notice.
It was only announced a week before the Olympics. Not sure how much warning they had before that, but given they had went forward with all the announcements like this with Armitage included, I don't imagine it was more than a week or two tops

29 women in the 100 free sounds ridiculously low, doesn't it?

JockCartier got a reaction from George_D in What are your medal predictions for Team Canada Paris 2024?
Those Gracenote predictions are a mess. They have Katie Vincent winning two medals, but she's only competing in one event... and also, the 4x100 free women's relay is mess. They are probably our least likely to medal (them of the 4x200 men). Used to be a strength, but is in sad shape now.
I figure we should surpass 25 fairly easily. Kinda figured we'd be around 28-29, but that may be some rose coloured glasses.
My estimates:
Swimming - 8-9 - McIntosh will win a bunch, 1 or 2 from the usual suspects, medley relays, and men should kick in a couple
Track - 7-8 - Katzberg, Rogers, Mitton, Warren are highly likely. LePage too if he's healthy. Arop is a favourite. 4x100 men probably. And between DeGrasse, Morales Williams, Ahmed, Sutherland, Dunfee and the 4x400 women they could win 1-2 between them.
Judo - 2 - DeGuchi is a heavy favourite, and Shady is a strong contender. A couple others have an outside chance
Track Cycling - 1-2 - Bibic has had some great results. Mitchell and Genest are coming off medals in Tokyo. Outside chances in the team events
Team Sports - 1-2 - Should get at least one medal out of basketball. Beach Volleyball is a strong possibility too.
Breaking - 1 - Phil Kim is a heavy favourite
Canoe Sprint - 1 - Vincent/MacKenzie are a favourite to medal, but Jensen has an outside shot too
The rest are kinds odds and ends where we can probably pick up a medal hear and there.
Rowing - Women's 8's have a decent shot of getting back on the podium.
Diving - Both 10m sychro events have a chance
Gymnastics - I think the women will finally get a medal, Black, Olsen and even the team have a chance
Weightlifting - Charon had to move weightclasses, but is still a coinflip to podium
Tennis - The doubles teams have an outside shot
Golf - I have Henderson with a small chance
Martial arts - Thibeault in boxing and Park in Taekwondo maybe. Also have four wrestlers that are longshots
Team Sports - Women's soccer always seem to find magic at the Olympcs. Rugby and volleyball are long shots
Archery - I think Eric Peters has a chance
Fencing - My longshot of longshots... the womens Team Foil

I think we're still missing 3 or 4 players that haven't joined up from the WNBA yet... but yeah, back-to-back thumpings don't instill confidence

JockCartier got a reaction from Josh in [POLL] How is the hype around Paris Olympics in your country?
Seems a bit subdued in Canada. But the 16 days will tell the story. International sport doesn't typically get much attention outside the Olympics, especially not the summer sports.
Though I have noticed more athletes are being featured in commercials, so it's nice they're getting some endorsements

JockCartier got a reaction from Josh in Basketball
The women's basketball team and Spain are apparently playing and it's 27-23 for Spain at the half.
The CBC steam has been assuring us the "Program is about to start" for over an hour, I'm sure they wouldn't lie to us

Concerning seeing Arop get ate up like that. Seems liket the 800 tactics have been turned on their ear in the last month and now everyone has to adjust. Will be really interesting to see how it plays out in the rounds at the Olympics
Not sure what to make of CWM. First 200m looked great, back half, not so much

Looks like Mac Neil gets the spot in the 100 free
Also, as few other changes
Harvey dropped the 100 fly, but adds the 400 free
Smith will take that spot in the 100 fly
McIntosh dropped the 200 free

Godinez and Di Stasio have been seeded. Both are 7th seeds and will face a potential match up against Japan in the quarter finals

Solid line up.
Anyone know if they announced any other upcoming tune-up games (for the men or women) aside from tonights?

It's been the case since Tokyo (you can go check the result vs the quotas from there).

Yes people who qualified for the C2 can compete in the C1 as well at the Olympics
