This is the first direct qualifier to the 2024 Summer Olympics (though triathlon will finish first). The top 2 teams will qualify. This is different from previous Olympics as we hosted a separate Olympic qualifier. The United States are the defending champions (from 2018, 2020 edition was cancelled), but have missed the last three Olympics. No doubt Mexico will be a favourite to grab one of the spots. Honduras will try to keep its Olympic streak alive by qualifying to a fifth straight Olympics. Other nations with a chance to qualify include Canada, Costa Rica, El Salvador and Panama.

It kind of needs to be. While Whistler is just outside of Metro Vancouver and is often included as an honorary member, Sun Peaks is almost a five hour drive.

Yeah, eights is one of the events I look forward to watching at the Olympics. It doesn't help that the event struggles to attract more than 10 nations at the World Cup/Championship level. If one of the requirements is for the event to have "universal appeal" it's not hard to claim that eights does not have that.

Not a good start for Canada. For us to have any chance at qualifying to the Olympics we need to be ranked at least 11th. These losses don't help our chances. The women have had a good start, but they'll need a few upsets to reach an Olympic qualification position.

The United States has a great chance at qualifying via the World Championships, but should they fail, I'd give a chance at the 2023 Nations Cup (assuming none of them qualifies at the World Championships/Nations Cup themselves). Groups A and B will probably have 9-10 teams qualified by then (I think only Australia can take a World quota if not someone from the Americas) so the quality level will be lower. Of course someone good from Europe could be unlucky and mess things up for us.

Because they have fewer sports than the Pacific Games.

It's pretty much a Canada vs. Australia tournament. Maybe England can pull off an upset if they get hot during the tournament. Hoping for Gambia and Vanuatu gets a medal in the men and women events respectively. To be honest, the discipline is the second least deserving discipline at the games based on quality, behind rhythmic gymnastics.

It's no big secret that the Canada Soccer Association is poorly ran despite the ongoing success of the women's team for a decade and the more recent success of the men's team. Considering their low offer to the men's side, I can only imagine how low the women have been getting (at best it's the same offer as the men got, more likely they have been getting less). I really do think the federation is stuck in a time when Canada last qualified (1986) where players were amateurs/semi-professional and would have been happy with ~10% of the pot.
