Can :NOR in M Individual and :SWE in W Individual enter 5 athletes in Beijing ? The rule about the extra-quota for the reigning olympic champion is still in place ?

 

In this case in both individuals we can have 93 starters, in the sprints 92 (20x4 + 12x1) Interesting JT Boe & H. Oeberg are the only 2 active Olympic champions from the individual events in PC 2018 (the others already retired Dahlmeier, Fourcade, Peiffer and Kuzmina)

 

So now when all this nerve-wracking qualification is finally over, let have a look thow it all ended

 

M

 

:NOR:FRA and :GER  will travel to Beijing with six men, and another seven countries will go with five. These will be :RUS:SWE:ITA:BLR:AUT:UKR and :CZE .

:SLO , :CAN , :SUI , :USA , :FIN , :LTU , :BUL , :BEL , :EST and :SVK can field each four competitors.    

:JPN , :MDA and, with an exception, also host :CHN , earned two places through the IBU qualification points.  :LATBirkentals, :ROU Coltea, :POL Guzik, :KAZ Kiriyev, :KOR Lapshin and :NZL Wright will also travel to Beijing as sole representatives of their respective countries. :CRO Crnkovic remained the first under the line but his hope are not vompletely dead as there chances of refused quotas from previous NOCs (especially :NZL )

 

W

Among women, :NOR and :FRA can count on six competitors, as well as :SWE , five will represent :GER , :BLR , :RUS , :UKR , :AUT , :ITA and :CZE .       Four athletes will have :SUI , :USA , :POL , :CAN , :FIN , :EST , :CHN , :SVK , :JPN and :BUL .

:SLO , :KOR and :MDA won two places from IBU qualification points. One for :KAZ Vishnevskaya, :LAT Bendika, :ROU Ushkina, :LTU Kocergina, :BEL Lie, and 20-year-old Ukaleq Slettemark, who represents Greenland, has won a quota as well, but since the IOC does not recognize :GRL , so she will compete for :DEN

 

So we should have 20 classic relays for both men and women, and 21 in the Mixed Relay

Sadly, Lithuania, Belgium and Poland can not field a Mixed Relay because they qualified 4 + 1 athletes, but :SLO , :JPN and host :CHN will have 4 + 2 competitors, so they can start also in the Mixed relay. Same based on the qualification points for :MDA with two women and two men qualified.

No, this rule just for World Championships.

But in mass start any country can partipicate 5 athletes.

I know Guzik has been confirmed and Wright and Lapshin are obvious choices. But the quotas are not nominative. So for :LAT it could also be Patrijuks, for :ROU I guess Shamaev, Buta or Puchianu are possible choices, and Mukhin for :KAZ.

Same applies for the women, :LTU will probably send Lescinskaite.

Latvia will not have a male quota unless via reallocation

They removed the quota for Latvia since it was earned by Rastorgujevs.

They added :KAZ.

They removed the 2nd quota for China since it was not in the top 12, to give it via "host country places" (+1 another one).
So that's only 11 quota via the IBUQP, why is :CRO not included ?

    • I read now that Valentina Rodini will be in the new team of Tizzano + Galtarossa and Martini. I was probably in such an information bubble on Instagram that I thought that only Abbagnale was running a campaign and had a team of people around him. That's why I was surprised by his defeat + the fact that, for example, Rodini supports his rival. But as I wrote, for me the change in the general coach position is a plus. We need a new opening and a new impulse: Cattaneo had his best results in Tokyo and then he only explained that his rowers were running away abroad to the USA to study and that's why he had worse results. Ok, except that it's the same in Romania and Greece but they results are comparable or better. It's obvious that no one here will make the UK or the Netherlands, because we don't have such resources and money but I think we can repeat the Romanian results (2 gold - 3 silver in Paris) and that will be a much better result than the 2 silver in this year.
    • Abbagnale boasted that he had 80 per cent a few days before the vote (I still have the screen) and ran again as a result of a power deal. Not a great loss.   I have doubts about the new technical director though, you can't announce him during the congress, brandishing the scalp of the Abbagnale era technical staff (who then, were Crispi's men). Let's hope there are no rifts between the new staff and the athletes, it had to be handled better.
    • I was surprised by Abbagnale's defeat. I thought he was a sure of victory, since he decided to run - I read some source that he didn't know if he would start before Paris 2024. What do you think about it?

    • Cattaneo was good but his peak was in Tokyo 2021. Then there was such stabilization - stagnation. In Paris the result was in line with expectations but without the wow effect. They threw everything that was best into the quadruple sculls and it was enough for a only silver. Now without the lightweight sculls in LA I think that radical changes are needed to remain competitive. Previously there was a 3-year Olympic cycle due to Covid, so big changes weren`t good but now I think the time is right. Although of course more funds are needed for this sport in Italy, because even the best coach will not overcome this vel our men`s alpine skiing sector
    • @Gianlu33 we posted the same (great) news at the same time  
    • Davide Tizzano (1996 Olympic Champion, men's double sculls) is the new President of the Italian Federation, as he defeated the (now former) President Giuseppe Abbagnale by a very small margin (52% to 48%) in last week's federal elections   and he's already at work to make up for the last 8 disappointing years (at least in terms of Olympic success): his first move is bringing back home  Antonio Colamonaci  who made  great in the past 8 years   https://www.oasport.it/2024/11/canottaggio-cambia-la-direzione-tecnica-dellitalia-arriva-il-guru-che-ha-reso-grande-la-romania/   let's see if he can make  great again, now
