stratocumulus 15 Posted June 13 #91 Share Posted June 13 Don't you think this qualification via the Nations Cup is quite a pervert thing? You have to have two fairly good times and one of them is sure NOT to go to Olympics even if they jointly win the competition. What incentive does it give the "weaker" duo to support the team performance? I could imagine a crate of beer they drink later together on the beach would not necessarily do for a motivation :D And what if there has been some past between the members of the two duos? All in all I find it one of the most curious qualification processes ever;] CCB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All in all I find it one of the most curious qualification processes ever;] For example in canoeing slalom in kayakcross czech federation announced who will go to Olympic despite that the place received some other athlete. There was promised these qualified athlete 100,000 CZK but not go to olympics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
De_Gambassi 960 Posted June 13 #93 Share Posted June 13 It's the first time since 2004, that a pair actually qualify for the olympics. Good job Lézana Placette and Alexia Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
