So Japan released their qualification times for Paris recently and if you thought the British times were crazy, wait until you see these times. Most of them are the times of the 10th place finishers at the 2023 World Championships. All times need to be achieved at the Japanese Olympic Trials next year which have been moved up a month from April to March (March 17th-24th to be exact). Baffling decisions from a program that has been in decline the last few years.

Paulino almost brought DR from 5th to 1st in the 4x400m relay

and that was despite a wipeout on the last water jump!

Gold for Phil Wizard

Honestly I expected the score to be more lopsided. Not a bad effort by them.

Chile beat USA in rugby 7's

Canada crushes Mexico 7-0 to win bronze in softball!

So 71 medal events today and the CBC streams are currently showing: Replay of archery earlier today Racewalking team event after the medalists already finished Rugby 7's classification games Bronze medal softball game

Does anyone know how we dropped off so much in artistic swimming in recent years?

and now silver in the Women's K-4 500m

Bronze for Jensen in the Women's C-1 200m

Michelle Russell starts the day off with a gold in the women's K-1 500m!

Softball team lost to Puerto Rico

another Vancouverite here checking in!

Would've expected the women's water polo team to beat Argentina by more than 5 goals

so looking at the World Aquatics calendar, I see this week we have an entry called "Jose Finkel Trophy and Brazilian Olympic Trials". Can any Brazilians confirm this? Seems way too early to have Olympic trials already.

Bronze for Lea Baldoni in the Women's K1 slalom

and now bronze for Mael Rivard in the K1 slalom

Silver for Lois Betteridge in the Women's C1 slalom

Looks like it's not Dunfee's day today

yes, world sailing has a list of all the national federations by region here.

Whoever thought that having only 9 medal events in a day, let alone on a Saturday of all days, needs to be fired. My one free day of the week and there's hardly anything to watch
