This is probably good news for the whole team.

Mariam Abdul-Rashid hit the entry standard in the 100mh with a 12.69

Canada picked up a quota in men's C1!

Yes, what I mean is with the athletes already qualified, CKC can fill all the boats. By adding more athletes the results will be worse off than sticking with what we have.

True but I believe we can enter up to two boats in each discipline. So there can always be an A boat and B boat in the event.

Yes.

 

I think we have maximized our teams in kw km and cw. The quotas represent the best results. There is room in the former two but we would get worse results if we named more athletes.

I could be wrong but I thought a country could have up to 6 athletes in the Kayak events and 3 in the canoe. 

I think in my head I just assumed that Leduc broke a record that Crystal Emmanuelle had. Didn’t realize the record was from 1987.

I’m assuming you watched as well? 

I had it on in the background - pretty exciting stuff!

The men's wheelchair basketball team qualified by beating Italy 72-60.

Pickrem was second at the Pro Series - 4:44 not the best time but great to see her do a 400IM, I didn't expect her to ever race it again. Andison was 4th.

Kharun won the B final in the 100m fly with a 51.93.

Second 4th for Canada tonight. Living up to standards, as usual. 

I'm not sure why we subbed in Boyle for Genest, hopefully Laurianne is ok. 

Just now, Josh said:

Aren’t they already guaranteed?

They are! I just can’t do math. 

mistake! Incorrect info

Lol I’m watching the semifinals now, Chiu/Gai won and Lindeman/Wu lost. 

Gotta love a live score page that does not update at all.

No quota in mixed doubles badminton. Sad. 

Because the team that is in the semi finals won't have enough points to overtake another team? Is that it? It doesn't appear that the semi finals have started yet.

Not bad, hopefully they continue to cut time between now and the Olympics. We probably need to average below 54 seconds if we want to medal.

Im assuming that they are all untapered at this meet and aware of what times will likely medal here. 

Great to see Kisil back

Almost jinxed it again, but not to be. 
 

Go  

I was staying mum about pointing this out this time haha. But alas not to be.

You’re supposed to be jinxing us not Mexico 

Oops. For some reason I thought it was best of three. 

Very excited to see the 100m freestyle final for women later today. Harvey seems to be on a roll right now and I wonder if she can get another PB.

Logical semifinal.

Logical here but the final is Colombia vs. Canada

This meet is so interesting - some of these folks I expect to go faster and trials and some swimmers are faster here than I expected.

1:54.21 for McIntosh in the women’s 200m freestyle final!

And I think it was a PB for Harvey. 

Oleksiask dipping under 2mins for the first time since her comeback.

Braven Park just lost a controversial decision...

I must admit I don't fully understand the rules off Taekwondo and am unsure how controversial it was.

Just noticed that World class archer Sjef van den Berg is on the Canadian staff for the Pan American Qualifier (and I’m assuming he’ll be with them for the rest of the season at the very least, but I’m not sure). Great hire. 

That’s a huge get for the Canadian team!

Quota for  Josipa Kafadar in women’s -49kg 

 

Taekwondo Canada, I take that back 

It was a smart move to take Kafadar in this event as opposed to the athlete who beat Kraayeveld
