Perhaps its an error. I also noticed that Oleksiak isn’t contending the 100m fly. Could she just be focussing on the freestyle races now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intoronto 4,236 Posted June 7, 2021 #923 Share Posted June 7, 2021 With Guica's loss at the worlds (one more win would hav ebeen enough), Canada's judo team for Tokyo will be 6 judoka (could have been high as 9). A seventh is possible in the 90 kg if Mohab El Nahas medals tomorrow. 73kg 81kg 100kg 52kg 57kg 63kg Are the 6 weight categories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is that the one continental quota that Canada got? I definitely expected our Judo team to increase numbers from 2016 and not decrease. That being said I think this team is headed in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes she got the continental spot, had she won one more match, that would have gone to the 90kg event. 6 is disappointing, but we lost one to pregnancy + one too covid19 (Jacob Valois, did not compete at all during Covid).

Perhaps its an error. There's some info in here that's interesting. She could still be named to the team in the 400m free if she's qualified in the 800m/1500m free. My guess is she's leaving her options open but really focussing on the relay spot for the 200m free. https://swimswam.com/canadian-trials-psych-sheets-oleksiak-drops-100-fly-no-mcintosh-in-400-free/ intoronto 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This also means Canada can't enter the (somewhat comical, but who knows, could have been a medal chance) team event. We are missing a woman at -70, -78 or +78.

Is Judo a sport where athletes qualify as individuals or per nation? Assuming they can't send someone else in Zupancic's place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
