Oh FUCK, we are in a really hard SF in men's K4. That's what we get for winning our heat...
in the same SF, only 3 of these boats will qualify for the final.
Men's K4 SFs
SF1 - 
SF2 - 
SF3 - 
Good luck to everyone, this will be a bloodbath.
ExpandShouldnt those 3 nations be already qualified for games?
Depends on how many continents are represented in the final. At least 4 continents have to represented in the 10 boat field, so technically only the Top7 boats are qualifiers for sure. We currently have two continents in the final, so the 9th boat in the final might not qualify to Paris if only Europe and Asia will be there.
go directly into the final in women's K4
Not a good sign for us, we were defeated by China...
Did they seriously put the streams of the heats behind a paywall? Are they insane? Not even I want to pay for that and I am a Hungarian who cares about Canoe Sprint.
Edited by VektorTime for us to experience one of the most confusing qualification systems in action once again. But I guess it will be less complicated now that they removed two K1 events from the program. Still, the reallocation procedure might get a bit messy.
The team in the Olympic events:
Men's K1 1000m: Ádám Varga
Men's K2 500m: Bence Nádas, Bálint Kopasz
Men's K4 500m: Bence Nádas, Kolos Csizmadia, István Kuli, Sándor Tótka
We are going for the 6 quotas with Nádas in both K4 and K2. We can only go 6/6 here if all 3 boats qualify. Varga is a lock for the quota in K1, but the K2 and K4... it won't be easy. Kopasz and Nádas aren't prepared at all for the K2 and the K4 boat is unreliable.
Women's K1 500m: Tamara Csipes
Women's K2 500m: Sára Fojt, Noémi Pupp
Women's K4 500m: Alida Gazsó, Tamara Csipes, Eszter Rendessy, Dóra Hadvina
Csipes in K1 and K4, so we have to win the 6 quotas in K2 and K4. I am very afraid, I don't trust these boats.
Men's C1 1000m: Balázs Adolf
Men's C2 500m: Dávid Korisánszky, Ádám Fekete
No idea what to expect. I can see us finishing with 0 or 3 quotas, anything is possible.
Women's C1 200m: Virág Balla
Women's C2 500m: Giada Bragato, Bianka Nagy
Should be 2 quotas for us in C2, I doubt that Balla will deliver the third in C1.
For a discipline that's getting the short end of a stick with the removal of two events, the variety in the 10 Olympic events is quite something. 7 gold medalist nations, 17 medalist nations, from all the continents with the exception of Africa.

Also, no gold medal in the Olympic events for the first time in who knows how many years. I am pretty sure this hasn't happened in the last 20+ years.
Kopasz finally did it in K2, he's keeping us alive at this WCh with 2 gold medals in the Olympic events.
No Hungarian medal in the Olympic Women's Kayak events for the first time since 1978.
If these results won't start ringing the alarm bells for us one year before the Olympic qualification, I don't know what will.
Women's K4 sure is a mess now that we are weak and the Belarussians and Russians aren't here. Easy gold for and medals for and . We will have to bring Kozák back if we want to fight for the medal in Paris.
Our male K4 boat won't be in the final... At this point I think it's safe to say that Hungary is simply unable to deliver good results in this event. We can actually miss the Olympic qualification in Men's K4, which would be a disaster.
The lineups of the finals in the Olympic events so far:
Women's K4 500m - 
Men's K4 500m -
Women's C2 500m - 
Men's C2 500m -
As expected, the domination in women's K4 is over. I expect only one Hungarian gold medal in the Olympic events, this new era won't be as successful for us as the previous cycles.
The team has a lot of changes compared to Tokyo, none of the Olympic champion athletes from women's K4 boat are returning, so don't expect a gold medal in that event this time. Women's K4 will probably be v now that our team is young and Belarus isn't there. Bálint Kopasz is the only Hungarian Olympic champion from Tokyo who will be at this WCh. This WCh will be a great test before the Olympic qualification, we have to find out if we can move on to the next generation. As far as I know our junior results have been quite good over the years, but that doesn't guarantee success every time (*khm* women's handball *khm*)
The most predictable podium in men's kayak, 1. 2. 3. , Germany avoids the complete flop in Canoe Sprint in the one event where they dominate the most.
Well done, boys, this is a nice 7th place from a new boat. Before the Games I thought that we won't even be in FA, so this is improvement.
It's hard to say how the conditions changed everything or how much some boats got tired, but both Poland and New Zealand had a slower final than the SF while we and Belarus peaked in the final. I think in the case of the Kiwis they got tired by the end of it, after all they had 4 women's kayak athletes for 4 events while we had 6.
Edit: Still, massive kudos to Carrington, 3 gold medals and a 4th place is an amazing achievement, I doubt we will ever see something like this again.
I guess I am moron because I shouldn't have doubted them, that was an amazing race from the girls. Finally, at the last race Kozák was her old, unbeatable self that we remember from Rio. 6-times Olympic champion, Danuta Kozák is now the most successful female Hungarian Olympic athlete of all time, she overtook Krisztina Egerszegi.
Here comes the women's K4... honestly, I just hope that we will win a medal at the very least, 
was really close to beating us in the SF. I have the same bad feeling that I had before the women's K1 (about Kozák) and before the women's K2. Something is just not working well with this boat and with our women's kayak in general, I think the golden years are over, but I hope that I am wrong and they can pull this win off one last time.
Now this is something that rarely happens, Tarnovschi won the bronze in Rio and then was stripped of his medal due to doping, plus got a 4 year ban. He would have missed the Games if it wouldn't have been postponed, and now he's back and he literally does the same thing that he did in Rio, hopefully without any violations this time.
gold in C1! Terrible Olympic Games for Europe in Canoe Sprint.
It figures that after all the World Championship medals we lose the women's C2 medal when it's at the Olympic Games for the first time.
Nicely done boys, see you maybe tomorrow in the final because the storm is here,
Good news for Slovakia, this might turn into Slalom Canoe by looks of it.

Well, personally I’m mixed about this changes, the folks over in the IOC are failing to realise that events with small amount of participants from a very select and small amount of countries are deemed to be limited in their exposure and thus their success, I mean outside of the mega successful countries the main focus in the games is on the mega stars and core sports and also where the local athletes at, if squash or cricket is bound to be limited to small amount of participants, then it will not get a lot of exposure and will be eventually be like the baseball on and off all the time, I like the idea of adding the 50m in swimming to all styles because you can have a lot of countries involved, also the compound archery making archery bigger and climbing as well for me are good changes -
Kayak cross still there, C2 not mmm yep.. maybe in Brisbane... hope dies last

I think for cricket, given the state of affairs of West Indies cricket 1 America doesn't sound right. Oceania is definitely going to get 1 with Australia and New Zealand both present. It could be Europe-America combined 1. But that said it could well be top 5 in ICC rankings+ Hosts -
oh, thanks! I missed the detail and I also hope he's gonna swim all of his program, even if the news about the 50m events being added to the Olympic schedule might mean the end of any attempt to swim a 200m competition for Thomas...I think (fear) now he would focus only on the 50/100m back, fly and 100m free (only because of the relays)

Not sure what the hold up in the FIS posting it is, but Lee Wen-yi of has met the Olympic standard (118.95 in slalom). Also Nino Tsiklauri from easily earns them a quota, I believe it should have been met back in February from the four slalom results, but I am never sure about when the 20% extra for missing results is used.
