I feel like we have this discussion every 4 years. Generally, the sports that Canada is a favourite in don't wrap up until later in the Games.
Also, Canada is strong in team sports, which have long tournaments, many athletes, but few medals. The men's and women's hockey teams basically account for a quarter of the total number of athletes. The men's and women's curling teams are another 10.
