Oh wow - I definitely expected Canada to have more of a presence at the last chance qualifiers. It absolutely seems like the right call to focus on fewer crews but ensuring they have the best possible chances but really was expecting Trevor Jones to compete in the men's single.

@Joshi fully read your comment and didn’t bother following up or watching the live stream!

I’m reading a SwimSwam article on the matter, theoretically if he wanted to switch back to the United States in time for the LA 2028 quad he could, although he’d have refrain from swimming internationally for three years. Also a change is permanent, and there’s no guarantee that he’ll make the US Olympic team so who knows. A SwimSwam commentator (mind you I take everything users on there say with a grain of salt, but in case they are telling the truth I decided to mention it) also noticed that Kharun wore USA Swimming attire at Canadian World Trials last year. If he’s long term choosing Canada as his country, it’s a bit strange to be sporting another countries attire.

We also don't really know everyone's motivations either - I just think it's a bit sus that he hasn't been participating in the relays and just does individual events. Again everyone's motivations and long term goals are different so let's see how it pans out.

Ilya Kharun has acquired  citizenship.

 

I’ll let everyone panic for a minute.

 

Okay, now that a few people had heart attacks: he plans to continue swimming for Canada.

This has been one thing I've been low-key worried about for awhile. I think my lack of trust over Condorelli and Sanchez has led me to this. Great to hear he plans on swimming for Canada. Long term or just for this quad?

Tye Ikeda picked up a quota in the 50m riffle 3 positions.

And this is the first time since 2008 the shooting team has been more than 2 athletes. 

No surprise but Maude Charron has qualified in weightlifting.

He posted Paris 2024!! In his Instagram story. Wow.

Wait is this an April fools joke?

Canada into 30th in the road to Bahamas! 3:03.73 (was the B team who got the time)

 

So all 5 relays have qualified for the World Relays!

Is the deadline today?

The 2 seconds from gate 16 are now removed, Cassini again on the quota Seat. But lets rather wait for the final official results 

It's now showing Mexico again

yeah, but on the continental championships, each NOC can only win 1 quota per gender.

Oh whoops - I missed that criteria.

4 minutes ago, Pasolini said:

But if another athlete from Canada wins the K1, could Canada choose K1 and then the C1 quota would go to Argentina?

I think what @hckošiceis saying is that this is by athlete. If the same Canadian athletes won quotas in K1 their quota can count in C1, however a different Canadian athlete can qualify a spot in K1. 

And Baldoni gets the quota on a review! Woohoo

Alex Baldoni misses a quota by 0.27 seconds. He had a clean run but then a penalty was added rip

Super disappointing. A young athlete who I suspect will qualify for a future olympics. 

Canada’s qualified in the Canoe Slalom Women’s C1

I’m just surprised that all the quota spots will be decided today.

Delgado and Barriere are the last two remaining 

Barriere won today too. One win away from the quota.

Canada will not qualify any trap shooter through the Pan American qualifying event... super disappointing as one shooter was in the lead in qualifying after two rounds in the women's event

I’m disappointed. I did think Scola had a shot at it. 

3 Canadians have advanced to the semis in men's wrestling this afternoon.

Edit - Dhesi (125kg), Moore (86kg) and McNeil (65kg)

Karla Godinez also secured a quota in women’s 62kg at the Pan American Qualifier!

Not Karla - her sister Ana.

Its fine, we can react here. When the event is over and we have a media summary, we can post in the other thread.

That’s how I’m interpreting it as well. 

Quota in Wrestling 57Kg!

I can't believe legend Susan Nattrass is competing at the Shooting Championships of the Americas

I’ll be there tomorrow! But will plan to show up after the 9th and 11th place matches, so won’t see the Canadian men play (grabbing breakfast with friends instead).

Ha. It’s funny I live in Vancouver but am out of town this weekend. I’ve never once been to the Rugby 7’s 😂

Bronze for Pickrem in the 200m breastroke
