The Canadian women's soccer team qualified for the Olympics. Now what about our other squads?

Canada defeated Jamaica 2-1 last night in Toronto to win their two-leg Olympic qualifier 4-1 and earn a spot in next summer's Games in Paris. The reigning champions, ranked 10th in the world, will join the third-ranked United States, No. 5 France, No. 9 Brazil, No. 22 Colombia and seven future qualifiers in the 12-team tournament.

Coach Bev Priestman's side will be one of several Canadian entries in the various team-sport events in Paris. Eight such squads competed at the Tokyo Games in 2021 — one short of the Canadian record set in 1976 in Montreal, thanks to the many automatic entries Canada received as the host country.

The record could fall in Paris, where Canada has already clinched spots in women's soccer, men's basketball and women's rugby sevens and can still qualify in women's basketball, women's 3-on-3 basketball, men's rugby sevens, men's and women's volleyball, men's and women's water polo, and men's and women's field hockey.

Let's look at where things stand for Canada in these sports.

Basketball:

Along with women's soccer, where the Canadian team will be trying for its fourth consecutive medal after going bronze-bronze-gold, Canada's best chance for an Olympic team-sports podium will probably come in hoops. The country's only Olympic basketball medal came way back in 1936, when the men took silver, but it could have as many as three medal threats in Paris.

Brilliant point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander just led the Canadian men to bronze at the FIBA Basketball World Cup, and fellow NBA stars Jamal Murray and Andrew Wiggins might hop on board for the Olympics
