As a reminder, if France qualifies an athlete in an event, the host quota will be reallocated to the Olympic Rankings.

Unsurprisingly, the first day of trap qualification at the Worlds was not good for us. Zevlever went 40/50 in the men's event while Boddez went 34/50 in the women's event.
 
The best scenario for us would be for a Pan American shooter to qualify here which would make things easier during the continental qualifiers.

Despite upset win over they still ended up facing in the quarters.

In the men's event, after repechage round 9, advance to the next round while are eliminated and finish joint 11th.
 
Big loss to Japan as their chances to finish atop the men's team points rankings have taken a hit.

They must know we have no chance at the Worlds, better to continue training and prepare for the Championship of the Americas.
 
Or maybe the cost to travel and compete is too high which led to a lot of people withdrawing.

Great result from Ireland. I know upper management really resisted sevens until a few years ago so it's nice to see them catch up to the other top nations so quickly.

After two rotations the top 3 is . The top 3 from the finals will qualify to the Olympics.

Not yet, the IOC will likely publish the list some time next year.

The event is too EXTREME!!!! The athletes obviously can't handle that much extremeness on a shorter schedule

The lack of Belarus and Russia opens things up. For individual Bulgaria and Italy will be the favourites, one may even win two quotas. Maybe Israel, Slovenia or Ukraine
 
For group, probably Bulgaria and Italy and the third could go to Azerbaijan, China or Israel

Not too sure about dressage. Assuming remains banned, the team quota opens up. is probably the favourite, but have a chance or maybe , not sure the status of their team. Individual wise there are a bunch of options so Israel has a lot of work if it wants to qualify.
 
For jumping I'd classify Israel as the favourite to pick up the team quota, especially if there's no

Yeah, not the greatest situation. Canada is within a fence of third place and the same for Brazil to fourth place, so we need two nations ranked 3rd-7th to have a relatively poor performance (or Brazil/Canada have a perfect performance) to qualify.
 
The only good news is removing five European nations (plus hosts France) makes qualifying via the Nations Cup a lot more reasonable, only a couple of top European teams will remain at that point. The downside is the United States failed to qualify to it'll be up to Brazil and Canada to qualify.

Canada beats Australia in the women's 100m fly

Easy gold for McIntosh in the women's 400m IM

Canada Day 10 Review
 
Day 10 saw Canada win 7 medals (4 gold, 2 silver, 1 bronze). Overall, Canada had an okay day. Here's how we did for each sport.
 
Athletics
Canada won two gold medals. Evan Dunfee won the 10,000m race walk while our women's 4x400m relay team won after the disqualification from England. In the end, Canada finishes the sport with 7 medals, about half as many as what we had in 2018 so this was a relatively poor performance. Yes we are missing some of our top athletes, but so many of our athletes competing here just missed out on the podium.
 
Badminton
Michelle Li won her semifinal match against Scotland's Kirsty Gilmour which means Canada will be guaranteed a medal on the final day. Her opponent will be P. V. Sindhu of India.
 
Beach Volleyball
The women won gold while the men won silver. On paper Australia was our only competition so finishing in the top two was expected so I am glad our teams performed up to those expectations.
 
Boxing
Tammara Thibeault won gold in the women's middleweight to give Canada its fourth medal in boxing. While this is less than the six won in 2018, Canada sent a smaller team and this was my expectation.
 
Cycling
The road race was today. Our top performing cyclists were Pier Andre Cote (13th) and Maggie Coles-Lyster (5th) in the men's and women's race respectively. Both athletes were in it until the end so overall I am happy with their performances.
 
Diving
Canada won a silver and bronze in the men's 10m platform and women's 3m springboard respectively. Maybe it was my high expectations for our divers, but I feel they haven't been doing as well as they could. With that said, we have now matched our total from 2018.
 
Field Hockey
Canada women won the 5th place match against Scotland 3-1, capping off a good performance by the team. Hopefully this gives them the confidence to qualify to the Olympics.
