Kaylee McKewon has dropped the 200m IM.

A - I’m surprised how much I’m enjoying watching softball B - disappointing result for Canada but it was still fairly entertaining C - I guess I’m cheering for Mexico to beat Japan to make this interesting

I didn't expect Canada to do well but going up against the number 1 seed in the first round is not ideal....

So bizarre. I’ll keep y’all updated. the setup I have now is fine but I think it’s a tad delayed which is more annoying for medal events.

Last time I checked there wasn’t a Gem app for Roku.

I’m just annoyed that CBC doesn’t have an app for the Roku.

That’s a question for @intoronto Edit: never mind. He got there first ?

Yes. She’s getting the quota for the K1 500 athlete so she’ll have to compete in Kayak but can compete in the C1 and C2 as well.

I’m more concerned about Mandy Bujold getting eliminated in her first round.

As much as I don't want to look too much into that (if she swims relays + 2 backstroke races, that's a lot to begin with and Sanchez has the A standard in the 100m free). It doesn't spark confidence. In other news it looks like Canada will enter all the Canoe Sprint races with doubling up.

I suppose my home province of BC is claiming Catharine Pendrel now?

You really hit the nail on the head here. It's exciting to see progress across the board - it really feels like the Canadian teams in many events are much stronger than they were in the past. It's very exciting to see this change.

I’m going to be fascinated by Track Cycling and Rowing with the lack of competitions I really don’t know what the outlook is. I’ve been listening to Adam Kreek’s rowing podcast and it’s really interesting to hear athletes give their perspective. Swimming is also interesting, this is the one sport that I am more optimistic (I’m a bit more cautious with Atheltics and the Team Sports than you are). I feel like a good meet for the Canadians would see the team surpassing the 6 medals from Rio but it could be somewhere around there. Medley relay looks stronger on paper but it really depends on Taylor Ruck’s performance in the 4x100m/4x200m. Although I think Oleksiak was holding back at trials in the 200m. Liendo’s probably the best medal chances for the men.

No I had meant K2 I just assumed due to the vaguely worded Team Canada announcement that Stott and Bissonette were given a K2 spot. Mess.

But this doesn’t explain the K2 entry. So confusing.

the C2 and K2 were two of the boats that had the Americas spot reallocated to a non-Pan Am country, I wonder if that was a reason for the additional spots. It's truly bizarre and I honestly just have to accept it and move on.

This CBC article confuses things even more: https://www.cbc.ca/sports/olympics/summer/canoe-kayak/canoe-sprint-team-laurence-vincent-lapointe-1.6092940 "Canoe Kayak Canada told CBC Sports on Wednesday it would enter a C2 500 team, though it was still waiting on approval from the International Olympic Committee." I would be surprised if ICF allowed Canada to announce LVL if the spot wasn't confirmed.

I feel like this announcement was so anti-climatic after all the speculation. But yay. It’s great news.

I think we really just don't know. It's the only Canadian team not having nominated, right?

I'm not sure why Emily Batty wasn't named as part of this team. But impressive for Pendrel to be back at it so soon after having a baby.

A - you never know what will happen at the Olympics B - in 2016 the host quota was automatically seeded at 4, not sure if that's happening this time but it would knock Zolotic down to 7th seed.

It’s gonna be strange in 2024 when Canada’s men’s diving is strong than than the women. But lots of exciting young talent coming like Fofana.

No surprises that Jennifer Abel and Pamela Ware will qualify for the 3m individual.
