very good team, in fact Russia selected with best option in each event.

There was discussion about Eigel and Maxim Shabanov. Coaches chose Eigel.

 

For Kuznetsov/Larionov it will be the last Olympics. They think in Tokyo 2020 men's C2 replaced women's C1.

yes I remember Kuznetsov/Larionov great bronze race in Beijing 2008, It was a surprise, but since there Russian canoe slalom went up rapidly. You have now very strong team. All your selected paddlers can achieve very intereting results in Rio.

 

yes I know, very bad idea. It´s still too early. womens C1 has still very low level..and doesn´t belong at the olympics..in other hand C2 is much much exciting and better to watch

Any medal will be a great result for Russian team. Contenders are too strong.

In general this sport has started to grow up in Russia after canoeing federation was divided into two federations in 2006. One for sprint and the other for slalom.

Guys! Question. Are there any Tripartite Commission invitation places needed for distribution or no more? So far, only Lebanon received it in the men's C-1.

 

There are two wild cards for canoeing events. One went to Lebanon in slalom the other went to Palau in sprint. No more wild cards left.

About Dutch Maarten Hermans: he needed top-12 in Pau to qualify for Rio and that didn't happen. It's very much looking like he himself barely even knew about this..

 

"My Olympic dream...this sucks! I felt like an Olympian but am not anymore."

 

It's like he didn't even know about our NOC's standards, which were published long ago..

Similar to Sharapova's case really, not knowing what you should know is not an excuse. :p

    • 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.
