Slalom Canoeing Qualification for Summer Olympic Games 2016

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.

Full results of the second race:

When will the Germans select and finalize their Olympic canoeing roster for Rio?

Kazuki Yazawa,  Takuya Haneda, and Aki Yazawa already selected by JOC for Rio? How did it happen?  

2015 World Championships seems to be the only option.:wacko:

Top 3 eligible nations after heats at Asian Qualification Tournament

 

Men's K1 - Kazakhstan, China, Chinese Taipei

Men's C1 - China, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan

Men's C2 - China, Japan, Chinese Taipei

Women's K1 - Kazakhstan, Chinese Taipei, Thailand

 

Remember a nation can only qualify a maximum of two athlete quotas at the continental qualifiers. Hopefully Japan wins the C2 to help avoid all this.

Or Kazakhstan/Thailand wins K1 simply. China is quite a favourite in C2

For the most part the top 2 had by far the best times in each event so someone would have to win one of the other three events over Kazakhstan.

CHN is the top favorite here for the C1 and C2 spots. the other 2 events are open, probably KAZ will win the both K1.

    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind , 
    • The rankings look likely to give two spots each in the men's side to Egypt (2nd athlete at 3) and GB (second athlete at 9). the nearest contender after that is France and both Egypt and GB have plenty of contenders after their respective number 2 but before France's umber 2   Women's side looks a bit more of a battle, with Egypt again likely to provide 2, and then a fight between USA, GBR and BEL for the other lucky double spot. That said, so dominant are the Egyptians, Americans and Brits, that failing to find all the contenders in the top 50 is entirely plausible, possibly opening a third 'double' spot.
    • I'd done my final revisions on my prediction spreadsheets.. and I'm sticking with 26 for Canada.    Take it to the bank! (But don't sign anything)
