I think 15 is the bare minimum we should expect, with 20 the upper end. But if things work out well in some events and for some athletes, the record of 22 could be broken. The issue for Canada is that we don't have any real favourites for gold, except maybe trampoline just due to Rosie's 2012 gold. It just seems like for each star athlete we have there is always another one who is a bit better (Ryan Cochrane in the 1500m free is the best example of this over the last decade). Again, if things work out well we could see quite a few golds. If things don't work out we could easily be shut out of the top of the podium. But hey, at least Brooke Henderson is peaking at the right time so maybe she can pull something off in golf.
I'm just happy that we seem to have a strong athletics team this year in various events (including both the decathlon and heptathlon) so finally all of that will be extra fun to watch. I also feel like we have a lot of teams going this year (fingers still crossed for the m's basketball and rugby teams). Anyone know how that stacks up to other years?
