Slalom Canoeing Qualification to Summer Olympic Games Paris 2024

I can't explain how devastating the results are for 😞😞😞. This was the last chance for Vít Prindis to go to the Olympics at least once in a life. In the women's final, the disqualification for Czech was really on the edge. Can't say whether the disqualification is 100% correct or not but really devastating for the Czech team for no earning any quota 😭😭😭

She'll get the quota as GB aren't taking it.

Are you certain about it? Why GB would refuse the quota?

I don’t know why they would refuse, but the commentator mentionned it, and I checked on their website and it said we are going for a second mens quota for today but didn’t mention a womens, presumably because our C1 male won’t do the extreme event. Setchell could certainly medal though so it is a bit strange.

 qualified 4 athletes: MK1, WK1, MC1 e WC1: how many of them could start in MX1 and in WX1? One or two?

You may enter 2 athletes into kayak cross. So for example, if you have a quota in MK1 and MC1, both can participate on kayak cross. If you get the extra quota, it may mean you have second specialist in kayak. But then either the athlete who got MK1 or MC1 won't participate in kayak cross.  Unfortunately you cannot enter 3 athletes.

So according to the British Team, they have decided that both who got the K1 and C1 in womens events will also participate in kayak cross? That's why they may probably refuse the quota?

Probably, but I can't see why we can't take all 3.

Apparently GB are not going to take the quota, according to the commentators, anyone know why?

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.

The maximum entrants in the XC is 2.
