There are errors, A LOT of them actually, but for the most part its solid. The interesting bit is the taekwondo section, where they are waiting on a ruling for a wildcard (presumably for Yong) Nice to see w aren't the only ones confused about this.

intoronto 4,236 Posted June 4, 2021 #914 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Arthur Margelidon and other judoka from Team Canada tested with a false postive for Covid and cannot go to the worlds in Budapest. He is 6th in the rankings and there is potential to drop below 8th (which would drop him from being seeded for the games) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Netty seems to be on an upwards trajectory - hopefully she qualifies and can get back up to her form from a few years ago. intoronto 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see an argument why she would focus on the 200m free for relay and the 800m/1500m for her first Olympics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps its an error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
