K1: Marie-Zélia Lafont qualified :FRA

C2 : Gauthier Klauss – Matthieu Péché :FRA

 

wow Marie-Zelia Lafont is a real upset. Honestly not the best solution for France.

 

Klauss-Peche was expected, but the fight for the C2 quota is one of the hardest competition ever, with 3 great boats!!!

 

also Gargaud-Chanut in C1 is fine, he is the best french c1 racer now, so it should be ok.

 

mens K1 is also a open category for France 3 great athletes fighting for only 1 quota, Combot wouldn´t be my choice but well, if he beat Boris Neveu in the internal qualifier so it mean he is in best shape right now.

The german spots are decided by 4 races over the course of 9 days (The first 2 races take place in Augsburg and the other 2 races take place in Markkleeberg), the system is pretty complicated. The winner of each race gets 0 points and in the end those athletes with the lowest overall score will qualify. Anton/Benzien start with a score of -2, because they are the current world champions. Pfeifer and Funk start with a score of -1, because they won silver and bronze at the last world championships. 

The first race took place on Saturday, here are the results:

Hannes Aigner won the first race in mens K1 ahead of Böckelmann and Maxeiner, Schubert and Grimm didnt even finish top 3, so for them it will be pretty difficult to still qualify.

Sideris Tasiadis won the first race in mens C1 ahead of Franz Anton and Jan Benzien.

Mens C2 was won by Anton/Benzien ahead of Behling/Becker and Müller/Müller.

Melanie Pfeifer won womens K1 ahead of Fritsche and Funk, Schornberg was only 4th.

Full results of the first race:

Hannes Aigner also won the second race today, ahead of Grimm and Maxeiner, so he is almost safe for Rio.

Tasiadis also won the second race today, ahead of Anton and Söter, so the battle for the spot should be between Tasiadis and Anton, but Tasiadis is the clear favorite now.

Mens C2 was won by Schröder/Bettge ahead of Anton/Benzien and Behling/Becker. Anton/Benzien are still clearly in the lead and i hope that they will qualify.

Lisa Fritsche won womens K1 ahead of Pfeifer and Funk, so this will be a really interesting battle, but i pray that Pfeifer or Funk will get the spot.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.
