the europeans just started and I just noticed that our Jerguš Baďura is representing Norway in C1 oh dear..and looking at his time in 1st heat ..wow

Marinić very good today, but still only the 3rd best nation (behind "Norway" and Spain...). But still, Marinić's weak point is about to come - the semifnials. It's quite incredible how awful his record is in important semifinal races, he missed a gate many times in this stage.

ok so let see a first summary after the heats in mens C1 and mens K1 for the last olympic spot

 

in C1 Jerguš Baďura qualified Norway for the semifinals, the good thing for him is that this is his home venue, he grew up here and trained many many years in this water, so we´ll see if the guy who just weasn´t able to fulfill his olympic or world championships dream in Slovakian jersey because he was always the 4th behind Martikán, Beňuš and Slafkovský will surprisingly start in Rio in Norwegian colours. also Spain qualified for the semis 2 guys, especially Ander Elosegi is probably the top favorite for the spot. apart them there also the croatian Marinič who definitely has the capacities to do something and win the quota, as dcro said, he just need some more luck than he usually has tomorrow. the other countries who will fight for the quota tomorrow are Italy they are in the "best starting position" because they managed to qualify all their 3 athletes to the semifinals with Cipressi, Colazingari and Ivaldi,  Belarus with Tratsiak, Greece with the iconic Tsakmakis, Ireland with Liam Jegou and Portugal with Carvalho.

so still in the course for 1 spot.

 

 

In mens K1 only 6 non qualified countries reached the semifinals :

with 2 guys Holmer and Ohrstrom, with Hermans, again the top favorite with all 3 guys but especially the very experimented Samuel Hernanz, has also 3 athletes in semifinals, 2 of them are very good Michael Kurt and Martin Dougoud, with Silva and finally another venue home athlete Marcel Potočný for

Ander Elosegi from Spain already qualified for final. very good race by Matija Marinič of Croatia still dreaming to enter the final. he need to beat another 2 semifinalists

 

Jerguš Baďura got a 50 seconds penalty for missing the 7th gate, so no Norway in Rio
