    MSH's time would get her into the final, Summer's time would challenge for the gold (so sad she likely can't compete in it at Paris). Pretty disappointed with the 200m after that, though. I expected two (or even more) to get the OQT besides Summer. Most of all disappointed by the breaststroke. No one qualifying is....not great. Edit: Forgot to mention the backstroke. Great race there, great to see two guys qualify. Shave off another half second, could get into the final.

    I would put good money on Canada breaking that record, and breaking its gold medal record (7). Summer McIntosh will likely get us most of the way there on her own. I'd also put decent money on Canada breaking the 30 medal mark. And, as always, I'd put my life savings on Canada getting more 4ths than any other nation.

    Would have been gold in Tokyo and the last two WC. WOW WOW WOW!

    Swimming and athletics are going to be must see TV this summer. Raise your hand if you remember when these two huge sports were a medal desert for Canada. 6 medals in each the last two cycles, don't want to jinx anything but it looks like that'll be beaten in Paris.

    And gold at last year's World Championships (and gold at the one before it, too!)

    I used to host trivia at a local pub and the crowd would groan every time I did an Olympic category (but they loved my World Cup themed trivias). I'm currently making one for my work in a few months (I do those annoying team building activities). Damn right there's an Olympic part for the Paris Games included.

    The last two W4x400 4ths (that's a lot of 4s) at the Olympics were surprises. They're bona fida medal contenders now. Doesn't mean it's a given, but it's a serious possibility.

    I'm a big fan of the flag.

    Botswana!

    3/5 teams qualified, all on first try. Two medals. I'd call that successful.
  11. orangeman
    Let us have this.
  12. orangeman
    Finallllllllly!
  13. orangeman
    Yay! Not another 4th by our W4x400!

    Great silver by Canada! Bold, perhaps foolish, prediction: USA will fumble an exchange in Paris and Canada takes gold.
  15. orangeman
    Great run by Canada!

    Mixed was a disappointment, but W 4x100 qualifying on first try was a nice surprise.

    I agree, but if it's a rule, it's a rule for everyone. We don't know what other teams would have done if the rule didn't exist. It's not about making an exception for one, it's about how unfair it is to the others. Can you tell I'm a teacher?
  18. orangeman
    Oh well. Hoped for the mixed team.
  19. orangeman
    Yeah, like I get my doctor to write me a note for work when I had an upset stomach two days ago.
  20. orangeman
    Bit it's a rule. Maybe Canada would have put someone in if the rule wasn't there.
  21. orangeman
    Fuckin get the hook! They're out! Edit: this comes off as an official decision. I'm just being biased.
  22. orangeman
    I'm hearing things about this. What would be the reason?
  23. orangeman
    Fasted non qualified team.
  24. orangeman
    Crazy how much faster the heat was today compared to yesterday.
  25. orangeman
    If they went that fast yesterday, they would have qualified then.
