  1. One more routine and has the quota. Good stuff. I actually liked the routines from both Mexico and the US better in terms of artistry but to my untrained and biassed eye it did look like Canada was stronger technically.
  2. Well that was certainly a fun choice of music by . Their two subs look like they are having a blast, too.
  3. An AIBA tournament with a bias towards home athletes? No, that would never happen!
  4. Looks like the order will be more or less the same as it was in Gwangju. Not really a surprise. Would be a shock of the US failed to qualify for the duet at the final qualification competition, though.
  5. Meant to write “stakes”. Not very good at typing on a phone.
  6. TBH I feel really bad for the players. The stakes are ridiculous.
  7. When I swam my coach always stressed hitting the wall hard. For specifically that reason.
  8. The women’s 4x200m free is not the deepest event... 14 teams looking for 12 Olympic tickets. just sneaked the last spot over .
  9. A Detroit Olympics at the hight of the American auto industry would have been really fascinating.
  10. I guess technically my main rooting interest, Canada, isn’t where I live (anymore). I’m a Texan now xD
  11. Mark McKoy wasn’t caught, and is Canadian, doesn’t mean I don’t believe he was a cheater.
  12. The prevailing view in the West is that Sun is a cheater. Personally I have confidence that he will receive a life ban when WADA is through with him this Fall and that Horton will retroactively become world champion. He smashed his own blood sample, there is no excuse for that.
  13. It’s the weakest stroke for the US, but it doesn’t mean it’s a weak stroke. US swimming is so deep they can still win medals in their worst events.
  14. Canada is missing (by my count they have 13 qualifiers)
  15. It would honestly be fantastic to have surfing be held in Tahiti, but Biarritz will almost certainly be chosen. Unless they go mad and decide to use a wave pool.
  16. It’s a pretty strong consensus among surfing fans that a wave pool should be a last resort for a competition like the Olympics.
  17. The thing that I found concerning is that I am only seeing coverage on ESPNU on their schedule. I hope they will have everything on ESPN3/ESPN+.
  18. Not sure how this is a disaster for France. There are two quotas available in the repêchage and both France and Russia will be the huge favourites given they will be the only two European teams involved.
  19. ...except it's actually one of the most popular sport in the world.
  20. ...they should really address how they break ties in cricket.
