A bit scued but a real good guide for the next olympics for us in the pool. Our biggest haul since Manchester (thorpe etc) but with para included. Thats what i was saying though with Canada. No threat in the pool. Really weird. Even athletics they really haven't been the force they should be till now. Really happy with where we sit for the next olympics in swimming. We might actually have a big meet.Totally agree. Hopefully, in future Games, they'll add more para events. It would not only be good for para-sports in this country but brilliant for such sports and athletes in smaller nations who don't get to be part of the Paralympics. It was fantastic to see a para-athlete from Vanuatu win a bronze.
I think the Canadians will be fine. Their strongest sports tend to be in the pool, gymnastics, athletics, and wrestling. They've done okay in the first two and we'll have to wait and see how they perform in the last two. That being said I can't see them hitting their target of 100 medals.
