They already announced Mallory and Kimberly for the WKX, but only Joe for the MKX. Burgess doesn't want to do it, though he could do so - this was the chance to get a XC specialist in for the men.

 

Kimbereley absolutely guaranteed to do XC - there may be a calculation/conversation on whether mallory wants to step back - my money would be on absolutely not.

Thanks for heads up 💪💪 Hope Czech will get the extra quota 😁😁

Confirmation of  position - Burgess added to MKX along with Clarke, but no change to Woods/Franklin in WKX.  (Subject to ratification by BOA.)  If so, the additional KX quota will have to be returned.

Interesting Franklin only doing the KX at this weekend's World Cup, after some average results in recent races.  I am a bit surprised they did not swap her out and put Setchell into the KX after her performance last weekend.  Otherwise seems little point in entering the Women's race last week if you are not changing anything.

One wonders if it was about setting up 1st reserve on the women's side, with the understanding that a situation MAY arise where Franklin thinks better of it and pulls out of the CX. Unlike the men, Mallory and Kimberley are each other's reserves in the main boats. Stechell is now in place to step in.

CONFIRMED!!

 

has declined the women's kayak cross quota which goes directly to thanks to 4th place in the qualification race. Tereza Fišerová has been confirmed to represent in kayak cross only 😊

I’m still slightly baffled by the qualification for kayak cross. Is it per spot in C1 and K1 the nation can pick an alternative competition in KX or do they have to use the same competitor?

Every qualified athlete in C1 & K1 can take part in the Kayak Cross if he/she wishes. If acountry qualified 3rd athlete via Kayak Cross qualifiers will enter him/her only in the kayak Cross at the expense of one of the two originally qualified

ICF informed  that it got reallocated WK1 quota and for sure China accepted it.

I don’t know how, but Ireland has received a place in women’s C1 event

 

We had qualified in the other 3, but we’re sending a full team including wc1

 

The initial Canoe Ireland team “nomination” announcement didn’t include her. So it’s obviously a late development 

 

EDIT; todays announcement states they’ll all do the cross too
