Looks like that's because Eichfeld is competing in both C1 and C2.

Its because Canada declined the K1 quota for women (Canada had to pick 2 of 3)

 

There is also max 2 athletes rule for continental qualifiers. Meaning that nation can't qualify anything besides C2 boat. But looks like there is an exception here because Eichfeld is competing in two events.

Can you please explain on Sebastián Rossi qualifying for the Games? I have no idea how did it happen. 

Here's the source.

Nobody knows.


It's a similar situation with Lebanon who allegedly got wild card in C1, what should be impossible since Lebanon didn't compete at the World Championships last year (and only nations that competed are allowed to compete in Rio, according to qualification system).

I asked some journalists on twitter and none of them gave me an answer and I don't think they understand the motive very well themselves. The only source of this is Rossi himself, who seems to be very sure of it.

The best explanation I can give for Argentina qualifying is that since the US only used 2/3 of its athlete quotas from the Pan American Games the other one had to be reallocated. Since you can't give 1 athlete quota in the C2 it goes to the C1, making it go to Brazil and then the host quota goes to Argentina.

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal. 
    • Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?
    • Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore.   Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.
    • No surprise with Aaron Judge winning AL MVP and Shohei Ohtani winning NL MVP awards.   Ohtani is the second player in history to win MVP in both leagues. Frank Robinson (1961 Reds & 1966 Orioles) was the only one before.
