EDMONTON — The target is 100 medals-plus, far more than Canada’s teams have won at any of the previous three Commonwealth Games. Ten or so above that would be great,” said Claire Carver-Dias, Canada’s chef de mission and a former synchronized swimmer at both the Olympics and Commonwealth Games. “When you go to these events, you see that the Commonwealth Games have great acknowledged importance in other countries across the Commonwealth,” said Carver-Dias. The prediction of more than 100 medals is based on information provided to Commonwealth Games Canada by Own The Podium officials. “We work very closely with the Commonwealth Games group,” said Mark Hahto, director of summer sport for OTP.
