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

 

 

 

Yeah I noticed it 2 days ago as well, the only explanation is rejected the W C1 quota since they have only one female paddler listed

Indeed. Poland aren’t on the list of “final entries”

Yes, Klaudia Zwolińska has qualified via K1 and she will participate in all 3 events. Poland didn’t need separate C1 quota

Looks like China got a reallocated quota in women's K1 (Li Shiting), seems to be they aren't counting Jessica Fox's quota in that event since she is qualified in both C1 and K1. @hckošice is that right?

They never counted Australia’s K1 quota as it was won by Jessica Fox at the 2023 worlds after she won the c1 quota.
 

She can still enter both (and will)

Same as Poland then.

Except Australia would have won the k1 “as of right” in the world championships if Fox hadn’t already won the quota at C1, where as Poland’s C1 was a reallocation. Technically Australia never had a quota to refuse

 

The effect is the same (same paddler does both events) but Poland’s was a re-allocated spot so it wasn’t known if they would have accepted it or not. 

I see Wikipedia lists Australia as a reallocated K1 spot but I think that’s wrong (or at the very least they were never going to accept it)

I mean Poland is the same, their paddler is entering both K1 and C1, they didn't refuse the quota, least not according to our Polish friend here.

Ok I think the penny finally dropped for me. Poland could have technically occupied another quota if they chose another paddler. Forgot about the qualifying the boat rather than the athlete rule in canoeing

While J. Fox ended indeed as best Australian at World Champs it was Kate Eckhardt who won quota in W K1 (as C1 was competed first and had priority, Fox earned already that Canoe Singles quota and thus was ineligible to win another one in Kayak Single), this Eckhardt´s quota was later rejected because her majesty Jessica the sole, wanted to compete in all events, so bad luck for Katie, you stay at home. That quota was indeed reallocated to China.

 

This reallocation in W C1 could have occurred only from Poland´s rejected original reallocation. There no other possible explanation.
