No.

 

Only 2 olympic events finalists, no olympic event medals, only 4th place in M C1 and above everything, no olympic quota in W C1. Sorry, but a country like Slovakia can not be satisfied with such results in this sport. Our team leaders already announced a press conference tonight in our TV. Gonna be fun

For your country, winning one medal is a drama as if Poland in volleyball was eliminated in the group stage of the world championship. In Poland, such results would bring changes in trainers.

@hckosice Are you satisfied with the championship?

[TomJa 64]

I have moderate feelings after the championship. It started fun, because of the medal in K-1 men, and then something was missing. I'm glad Grzegorz Hedwig's promotion to the Games and medal in C-2. But on the other hand, the attitude of Dariusz Popiela, as well as Klaudia Zwolińska and Michał Pasiut sad.

[TomJa 64]

The second day of individual competition in La Seu d'Urgell has begun. At the beginning of the struggle C1 ladies, then K1 men.

Canoe slalom used to have one of the simpler qualification systems... But this time it will be a total mess, because there are so many double starters in women's events.

 

Honestly, they should just ask the athletes to pick their one and only event. It could work as an additional gender equality policy, as male athletes don't exactly have the luxury of being able to compete in both classes...

I see it as you do. But often the components of getting to the most important four-year party are culturally strange .

Sideris Tasiadis (bronze medalist from the last World Championships) outside the final is probably the biggest surprise today in C1 among men.

Alright, so the top 20 don’t compete in the Heats later today?

Today there are only races 1 and 2, and the semi-final and final stages will take place in given events on Saturday and Sunday, respectively.

Do u think Poland will pick up any medals ?

I am quietly counting on the Grzesiek Hedwig medal. I would also like Marcin Pochwała and Ola Stach to repeat the result from Rio de Janeiro. However, priority is passes to the games.

Yes but we have a chance of picking up medals in this event 

Without a doubt. At one medal in this event for your country will not end.

More great medal chances for Ryan and David. 

Mountain canoeing is such a random sport that there is no point in guessing and hypothesizing who will have medals hanging around their neck after the first race.

I was hoping that Grzegorz Hedwig () would make a mistake, but he didn't avoid mistakes. The third of Poles made a mistake by passing the 16th goal.

[TomJa 64]

Good passing by Kacper Sztuba () - a great pity for this error on the 19th goal.

 

[TomJa 64]

Poor passage of Igor Sztuba (). As in the first part of the track he did very well, but in the second part the drama started from 15 goals.

Great win for the Women K1 team, just beating the Czech and Russia. Can’t remember when we last won it but must of been 7 or 8 years ago. Was very impressed by the ladies, a medal chance next year

The last time on the podium in K1 British was in 2015, and they won in 2009, if I remember correctly.

Maybe not 100 but surely 50. I mean we are mentally still in the era before 1989  

The only thing that separates us from 1989 and earlier is the fact that we have trace cases of doping. And for that praise our athlete that they don't always take an example from those from behind our eastern border.
