  1. After one rotation in rhythmic gymnastics team all-around it's FYI England is already fully completed as they were in the earlier subdivision.
  2. Canada Day 6 Review Day 6 saw Canada win 11 medals (5 gold, 4 silver, 2 bronze) for another good day. Here's how we did for each sport. Athletics Canada won its first medals in athletics; a gold medal in women's shot put and a bronze in men's 100m T38. A mostly quiet day as the sport is a bit of a slow start for us as most of our athletes are set to compete in the later half of the schedule. Beach Volleyball Pavan/Melissa won their group after defeating New Zealand. Their quarterfinal opponent will be revealed tomorrow and they will play on Friday. Boxing Five of our boxers had quarterfinal bouts today with four of them winning and thus guaranteeing a medal. Our one blemish was in the light heavyweight where Beausejour lost to a strong Scottish opponent. Field Hockey Both the men and women faced India today. The men suffered a crushing 8-0 loss while the women, with a semifinal berth on the line came back from being down 2-0 to tie things up. Sadly, they were unable to score and conceded a goal, allowing India to advance to the semis and for us to compete in the 5th place match. Judo The final day of judo saw us win the Men's -100kg and +100kg events and an additional silver in the men's -100kg. Our judo team had a great tournament with 8/9 athletes winning medals, including four golds. Lawn Bowls Our four teams went a combined win-loss record of 3-3 today. Our men's fours have won their group and advanced to the quarterfinals. Meanwhile, Ryan Bester is currently first in his group though he still needs to face the two tougher opponents. The women's pairs and triples however, have been eliminated. Squash Hollie Naughton was unable to complete the dream run, but has finished with a silver medal. This is the first medal for Canada in squash since 2002 so I am quite happy for her. Swimming The final day of swimming added five more medals to our tally with gold medals being won by Kylie Masse in the women's 50m backstroke and Nicholas Bennett in the men's S14 200m freestyle. Our men's 4x100m medley team getting disqualified during the heats was a bit embarrassing, especially since only 8 teams competed so there was no pressure to make a mistake. Despite missing a few key swimmers Canada finished with 20 medals, the same as 2018, but with four more gold medals. Table Tennis Today was the group stage for the singles events. Hongtao Chen was able to win his group to join his teammates on the men's side as did Katherine Morin and Ching Nam Fu on the women's side. Our men's para-players are currently with a 1-1 record and will play their final match tomorrow. Weightlifting The final day for weightlifting ended on a bit of a whimper as none of our athletes won a medal, though they did nabbed a pair of fourth place finishes. Overall Canada won 8 medals in the sport for an improvement of three medals relative to 2018.
  3. in a good position for a medal in the men's 1500m freestyle at the halfway point
  4. That's two fourths for Carter in swimming
  5. Canada Day 5 Review Day 5 saw Canada win 13 medals (5 gold, 5 silver, 3 bronze) for another great day. Here's how we did for each sport. 3x3 Basketball Finals day saw us medal in all four events, winning two golds in the women's 3x3 and women's wheelchair. The men's wheelchair won silver while the men's 3x3 won bronze. Overall this was a great showing by the Canadian team. Athletics The first day of athletics was relatively quiet. I was hoping for a medal in women's pole vault, but that did not materialize. We qualified to various finals, which include men's 400m hurdles, women's 800m and women's shot put. Beach Volleyball Our men's team pulled off a win against St. Kitts and Nevis. The final group stage match will be up against Gambia on Thursday for top spot of the group. Field Hockey The women's team defeated Ghana 8-1. Our final group stage match will be against India where a win or a draw would send us to the semifinals. We are the underdog, but our team has been playing well so the upset chance is there. Gymnastics A relatively quite day for Canada on the second day of apparatus finals. We only won a single bronze medal thanks to Spence on the balance beam. Canada wraps up artistic swimming with 8 medals, but no gold. Next in the coming days is rhythmic gymnastics. Judo The second day of judo saw Canada win three medals; gold in the women's -63kg (Beauchemin-Pinard) and a silver and bronze in the men's -81kg (Gauthier-Drapeau and El Nahas respectively). Overall a good a day. Will Canada maintain its 100% medal record on the final day? Lawn Bowls Overall a decent day to start off the second set of tournaments. Between our four teams we had a combined record of 3 wins, 1 loss and 1 draw. It's still a bit early to say where we are, but here's hoping for at least one quarterfinal appearance. Squash Naughton pulled off a huge upset by defeating top seed King of New Zealand to qualify to the finals. Canada will win a medal in squash. Her opponent tomorrow will be England's Georgina Kennedy. Swimming Canada picked up another three medals, Liendo won a gold in the men's 100m butterfly, Rivard won a silver in the women's 200m IM SM10 and we won silver in the mixed 4x100m medley relay. Additionally, Liendo and Masse will compete in the men's 50m freestyle and women's 50m backstroke finals tomorrow. Weightlifting Canada won two medals today. It could have been three, but Santavy had to withdraw in the men's -96kg. He would have been favoured to win gold today. The gold medal we did win was courtesy of Laylor in the women's -76kg and the silver medal was won by Ngarlem in the women's -87kg.
  6. With the exception of a few individuals, the Commonwealth Nations aren't too good in field events (minus long and triple jump).
  7. Who decided to make the men's 100m butterfly final and the men's 50m freestyle semifinals less than 30 minutes apart?
  8. Another sweep in the women's 100m freestyle
  9. Yeah, the hope was always for the United States to qualify which makes it easier for both Canada and Brazil to qualify at the Pan American Games
  10. Canada holds on against Scotland to win bronze in men's 3x3.
  11. One thing that holds cricket back is the stadium requirements. The field of play is massive so unless you already have one you'll have to build one, you can't convert a football stadium into a cricket field.
  12. Canada Day 4 Review Day 4 saw Canada win 15 medals (3 gold, 5 silver, 7 bronze) for a great day. Here's how we did for each sport. 3x3 Basketball Almost a perfect day for us as the women and both wheelchair teams booked their spot to the finals. The women will face against England while the wheelchair teams will have a double header against Australia. The men's team lost to England in the semis and will play for bronze against Scotland. Beach Volleyball Pavan/Melissa won their match against Kenya without any trouble. They will play their final group stage match against New Zealand on Wednesday in hopes of finishing in top spot. Boxing Canada had two boxers competing today with both of them winning their respective bouts. Beausejour won his round of 16 match against Barbados in the men's light heavyweight and will face a boxer from Scotland. Al-Ahmadieh won his round of 16 match against Australia in the men's featherweight and will face a boxer from Guyana in the quarterfinals. All of our boxers are now in the quarterfinals and are one win away from winning at least bronze. Cycling Kelsey Mitchell finished her games with a fourth medal, a bronze in the women's keirin. We also won a second bronze medal in the women's scratch via Maggie Coles-Lyster. Overall, I was expecting a little bit more from our track cycling team, but New Zealand really did a number in denying us gold medals. Field Hockey In an embarrassing fashion, we were seconds away from losing to Ghana, but we scored a late goal to tie things up 1-1. Our next opponent will be India on Wednesday. Gymnastics Canada won two silver and two bronze across the five apparatus finals held today. We were quite close at grabbing a gold medal, but it was not to be. Despite a relatively weaker team in artistic gymnastics we may not end up too far from the medal total from 2018. Of course, the lack of gold medals will be a bit glaring. Judo I was hoping for two golds, but we managed a gold and silver thanks to the Deguchi sisters. I have high expectations of our judo team so hopefully everyone can pull through. Squash Holly Naughton pulled off the upset and will now compete in the semifinals of the women's singles. The downside is the other three players are the top 3 seeds of the tournament so my expectation for a shock medal is being kept in check. Still I wish her good luck in her next two matches. Swimming We won four medals today with McIntosh winning gold in the women's 200m IM, Masse winning silver in the women's 200m back, Acevedo picking up a bronze in the 50m back and Berube winning bronze in the women's 100m SB6 breaststroke. Additionally, Smith and Savard have qualified to the women's 100m free finals and Liendo and Knox have qualified to the men's 100m butterfly finals. Weightlifting A perfect day for Canada as all three of our competing athletes won a medal, including a gold via Charron in the women's -64kg. We have now won more medals relative to 2018 and we still have six more athletes remaining to compete.
  13. Canada stuck in lane 8 in the 4x200m freestyle because we don't have an official time
  14. Liendo went too strong in the men's 100m free and faded
  15. Australia made a good comeback against in the women's singles lawn bowls final
  16. Half the field lapped the other in the points race
  17. Canada is in the semifinals in women's singles squash. Naughton defeated fourth seed player from India. It'll be very tough to win a medal though.
