thats very sad. this just destroyed my day now.. this is not fair at all

The thing is they don't want to just send everyone who is able to get a quota (and then finish 20th or something). Athletes have to show a certain level of real competitiveness and when you set those standards, there has to be a limit somewhere...in this case they choose for the ones I posted.

 

It's sad indeed, but Hermans himself probably knew that a 14th place wouldn't be enough. 

About it being fair, I don't know...in winter sports I think it's unfair because certain "extra standards" are just totally unrealistic, but on the other hand, athletes already know 1-2 years before what they'll have to do.

Hermans: "Am I dreaming?" Dutch selectors: "Yes, you are"

Hopefully we will share in some success next time buddy rather than disaster.

Maarten Hermans did it today. Got the last European ticket to the Rio Olympics. Not Spain, not Belgium, not Swistzerl, not Sweden but Ned! Now he unfortunately has to qualify for the strict Dutch Olympic Committee Criteria in the next months.

 

That's the most realistic thing I have seen so far. Yes, he has the quota (for now), but he'll only get to use it if he actually reaches those Dutch criteria. I don't know how much chances he'll have left in World Cups?

There are 3 World Cups left. But I think even the top-12 result will be hard to get unfortunately.

not at all...I think Molmenti could have still given a sign of life in the big occasion, meanwhile I don't see how De Gennaro can finish on the podium of the Olympic Games...

and I didn't like that all the qualifying races have been held in Liptovsky Mikulas (also the previous 2 were held in SVK last month)...they should have chosen at least 3 different courses, not only one for all the selecting events...

 

even more when we take in count that todays weather in Liptovský Mikuláš is disastrous. Cold and heavy rain, strong wind, terrible conditions...

Very sad moment for our sport, first time in our history we will not be represented in canoe slalom at the Olympics. We were represented in men's canoe slalom in every Olympics and almost always in women's too.....now, absolutely no representation at all, and not even close. Pathetic really, you would swear we have no natural resources in this country to develop good canoe slalom courses and programmes..... but of course we have no facilities.... absolutely pathetic :d

Looks like we share this disaster. We also don't make Rio after competing at every Olympics since 1992 in slalom.

      Update after Matchdays 8 and 9.   Group A:  is almost a lock with 21p, and 7 games 7 wins. Almost impossible for them to not qualify. The battle is in the second place between  (16p) and  (13p).  with 8p is almost out.  and  eliminated.   Group B:  won both of the 2 games so is almost secured with 19p.  is second with 14p, with  (1 more game played) and  with 11p.  is eliminated and  practically too (6p)   Group C:  went 2 out of 2 so they are still first with 16p and one game less than the rest. The battle for second place will be between  14p,  11p and  9p.  eliminated and  (with one game less and 4p) probably too.   Group D: Only 3 for 2 places.  first with 19p has the advantage, but coming close is  with 16p. They played each other in the Matchday 11 of 12. Coming in third behind is  with 11p. ,  and  eliminated.   Group E: Both  and  won both matches so its still the same, Poland first with 24p and Italy second with 21p, which is the best runner-up and also qualifying directly, so is very likely that both teams end up qualifying no matter who finish first and second. , ,  and  eliminated.   Group F: A tie between  18p and  18p. Germany has the goal advantage (+21 to +20), and has to play the three weaker teams, so its more likely to qualify. Coming behind are  with 10p and  with 9p, which are practically eliminated with  and   Group G:  takes the advantage with 12p and one game less.  and  both have 7p, and coming behind are  5p (but one game less) and  with 5p.   Group H:  with the win against  moved to first place with 13p (and one game less), and Turkey stays in second with 11p.  is coming in third with 8p, while  is eliminated and  have 3p and one game less.   Group I: A triple tie between ,  and  with 10p. Belgium have the advantage because they have the best head to head points and one game less. Austria is second in the H2H difference and Denmark is third but with also one game less.  have 6p and  is eliminated.   The next 3 and last matchdays will define the 10 qualified teams and the 8 that will go to the playoffs. Matchdays will be 24-26 September, 28Sep-1Oct and 5-6 October, 2026.
