Exactly one hundred days from now, on July 26, athletes from around the world will gather in the French capital for the official start of the 2024 Summer Olympic Games. The plan still calls for a unique opening ceremony in which each country's delegation floats down the Seine on boats decorated with their national colours. But French President Emmanuel Macron said this week that security concerns could result in a more conventional parade.

For those wondering how Canada's athletes will fare in Paris, a good place to look is the fresh set of medal projections released today by Nielsen's Gracenote, a data-focused division of the company that measures TV ratings. Their model considers recent results in world championships, World Cups, Grand Prixs and the like to predict the medal winners for all 329 events in Paris.

With the disclaimer that things can change over the next three months and these are not my personal predictions, here are some Canadian takeaways from Gracenote's projections:

Canada should have one of its best Olympics ever.

The country is projected to win 22 medals — six gold, seven silver and nine bronze. That would match Canada's second-highest total ever for a non-boycotted Summer Games, alongside Atlanta 1996 and Rio 2016. But it's two short of the non-boycott-record 24 medals Canada won three years ago in Tokyo, which included seven golds.

Gracenote's model has Canada finishing 11th in total medals but 12th when you sort primarily by gold, which is the preferred way to do the standings.
