So I probably should have checked this before I posted the form/my mostly useless opinion guide.
Anyway I apparently have managed to rank 9 American boats in qualifying positions which seems a bit on the optimistic side for the quality of that squad.(I managed to do that while being kinda harsh on their men's eight and women's quad). Maybe they are that good though and my perception is warped by their lack of medal contenders. (I just checked how many they would have qualified if last year had been the qualifiers and apparently they would have had 8 boats qualified which is way better than my memory of their one medal performance thought.)
On the other end of the scale I have Canada only qualifying one boat. They have a couple of close calls though so they probably will get a second but even then that is still bad. Other than that it seems a fairly reasonable projection although given Germany's last couple of years four boats qualified would be pretty positive.
If these pan out to be remotely accurate Ireland, Greece, Spain, Switzerland and honestly Serbia would be set for a very good champs. Not so much for Italy, the aforementioned Canada, China and Poland.
In which disciplines do you have the 4 German quotas?
Man, this was frustrating.

GB haven't faced Germany at a Worlds or Europeans since then, and GBR are the reigning European champions which GER skipped, just as GBR skipped in 2020. The only time they've duelled at all recently was at the World Cup, where GBR won.
There's an argument Germany is the stronger team, and certainly they may win - but in no sane universe are they a sure thing on paper, it simply isn't true.
Germany didn't skip these years European Championships. They finished fourth. But it needs to be mentioned that it was right after some weeks, when they couldn't train properly due to Covid restrictions and hadn't the fitness for the second half.

Nope, it doesn't. But I watched the race. Netherlands and China won their heads. 
Netherlands qualified for Tokyo in Women's quadruple sculls.
Edit: So does China.
Today we'll know the first Olympic qualifiers in Rowing. The semi-final winners in the Women's quadruple sculls will make it directly to the A-final. And since there are 8 qualifiers in quadruple sculls, all A-finalists (and two B-finalists) will qualify for Tokyo.
Sorry. Totally missed it. 
I do agree that we could win medals in all four of these events. But I don't believe it will be gold medals in all of them.

In the Olympic Events or generally?

From a german perspective the results in men's eight, men's single sculls and women's quadruple sculls were expected, but the gold medals in women's double sculls and men's lightweight double sculls were rather surprising. In my opinion 6 medals in olympic disciplines should always be the goal for Germany at world championships and olympic games. The men's quadruple sculls result was rather disappointing from a german perspective, i hope that they can turn it around again.
I think Men's Lightweight Double Scull is not that surprising. Jason Osborne is sitting in this boat now, and he won Gold at the World Championships last year in lightweight Single's.

Yes, it was less bad than feared, particularly because many of these crews were young athletes. Of course it's far from what German Rowing aspires to be, but miracles weren't to be expected. Hopefully, they will improve in the upcoming years.
