Fewer Canadians are expected to reach the Paris podium than in the previous two Olympic Summer Games, a global data analytics company predicts.
Mayor Anne Hidalgo told France Inter radio that she would "dive in next week" and the water would be "depolluted, that's for sure." , which publishes medal haul predictions for the Olympics in addition to statistical analysis for sports leagues around the globe. Among the total haul, Gracenote forecasts Canadians will take home seven gold, nine silver and five bronze medals — three fewer than Tokyo 2020’s collection of seven gold, seven silver and 10 bronze.
Meanwhile, France is expected to have its best Olympic Games in 124 years. The host nation is expected to triple its number of gold medals from the Tokyo Olympics and double its total medal haul overall, finishing with 60 medals. Seventeen-year-old Canadian swimming sensation Summer McIntosh, who holds the world record in the 400-metre individual medley, will be competing in her second Olympic Games. Other Canadian athletes to watch include Maggie Mac Neil, reigning Olympic champion in 100-metre butterfly; sprinter Andre De Grasse, Canada’s most decorated male summer Olympian; and Sanoa Dempfle-Olin, who is set to become Canada’s first-ever Olympian in surfing.
