NearPup 2,156 Posted July 23, 2021 #1181 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Canada unfortunately now has it's first final result of the games - Barrett and Duenas finished 17th in the mixed team archery event, just two points away from qualifying for the Ro16. Duenas had an decent ranking round that will leave him the 16th seed. Barrett qualified for the Olympics and that's great. Surlympics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seems oddly typical for the Canadian team to finish one spot out of the elimination round ? Best of luck to Duenas and Barrett In the individual events, Duenas seems to often do better in the ranking than the elimination round at the Olympics so maybe this will go better this time. intoronto and Canada4thewin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canada4thewin 90 Posted July 23, 2021 #1183 Share Posted July 23, 2021 I don’t think we have classified or ever won something in this event. Lol ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s on the high side for predictions but not impossible. I would be shocked if we got the mixed medley medal that’s predicted. I would also be surprised if Canada won 7 medals and Pickrem didn’t win any. ofan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwimSwam is currently predicting 5 medals for Canada although they have yet to predict the 100m fly or 200m breast. https://swimswam.com/tokyo-2020-olympic-games-official-swimswam-preview-index/ I'm trying to temper my expectations but there's lots of potential. The relays should be fascinating, there's lots of talent there but not sure where everyone is at. Which Taylor Ruck is going to show up? I've been mulling over the 4x100m lineup so much.

JoshMartini007 2,202 Posted July 23, 2021 #1188 Share Posted July 23, 2021 I'm hoping for 5-6 medals in swimming so 7 isn't totally out of the realm of possibility. I also wouldn't put the mixed relay completely out of the possibility, though we are definitely not a favourite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
