Fun fact: Those were the only medals won by men at the 2020 Olympics, the other 18 medals were won by women across nine (if you split diving and swimming) sports.

England is in a unique situation, relatively weak single players, but strong double players. Against the best they can hope for is a 3-2 win (maybe 4-1 against Canada). For Canada to defeat England all we really need is for our women's doubles to pull off the upset (and for Brian Yang to defeat his opponent). We aren't the favourites, but a medal opportunity is still there. On the other hand, we could lose to Singapore or even Scotland in the group stage.

A better draw for Canada relative to 2018. Definitely see a path to the semis. Winning a medal on the other hand will be difficult.

I agree, the sport may be dying in Canada, but it's not because of the laws.

The continental representation (2023 World Surfing Games/Pan American Games) quotas now have higher priority than the 2024 World Surfing Games. Additionally the team events from the 2022 and 2024 World Surfing Games will award one quota (with 2024 having a higher priority over the 2022 games) and will give an opportunity for nations to qualify a third athlete.

The sport was already on life support in Canada. The changes in qualification already negatively impacts us since there are so few world quotas now. Throw in the fact that other Pan American nations are increasing their quality and I wouldn't be surprised if Canada fails to qualify anyone in 2024.

That third period was something...

Quite happy with our final performances. Just need that little extra push and we could be looking at a good medal haul for 2024.

I felt they should have made the two Division I groups with only 5 teams. Now when Russia and Belarus return there will be a massive shake-up unless the IIHF wants to pull a Slovakia and have them start from the bottom.

Yeah, the bottom half of the bracket is quite open

The difference here is the doesn't compete at the Commonwealth Games and doesn't compete internationally in gymnastics. It would be like not allowing swimmers to compete for at the Pacific Games despite being born there.

Honestly shooting should be included and rhythmic gymnastics should be dropped. In fact, among the Olympic disciplines, rhythmic gymnastics is the least deserving discipline at the Commonwealth Games. Shooting on the other hand is behind rowing and sailing in terms of biggest Commonwealth snubs.

I wonder what will happen to the boxing team. I know Northern Ireland jurisdiction is a bit complicated, but what's FIG's claim, that Northern Ireland is solely Great Britain, ignoring that the people are both Irish and British?

The reverse jinx strikes again

Yeah, the gripe about shooting or weightlifting is a bit unfounded. The team and the snatch/C&J events were only there to inflate medals. I'd have the same feeling if they removed the individual apparatuses in rhythmic gymnastics. When I look at whether a sport/event should be part of the Commonwealth Games, I ask myself, "are there at least 8 competitive nations?" Admittedly, that helps Great Britain more since they are split at the games. England and Scotland are major players and Wales and Northern Ireland can add depth. Throw in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and South Africa who tend to have similar interests and it's not too difficult to find a couple of other nations to make the event competitive. Meanwhile for India (or other nations), if they don't have the support of the previously mentioned nations it will be hard to find enough nations to make the event viable.

Yeah, I didn't have too much hope against Sweden...

The IOC is trying really hard to get rid of eights. We'll probably lose one of the four person boats soon too.

Ah yes, the youthful and hip sport of golf. I think the IOC needs to concede to either cut sports/events or increase the total number of athletes to around 12,000. That's how many athletes we needed once they made the (correct) decision to expand women's sports.
