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. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MantaRaymarc 76 Posted May 30, 2016 #95 Share Posted May 30, 2016 (edited) Can you please explain on Sebastián Rossi qualifying for the Games? I have no idea how did it happen.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshMartini007 2,235 Posted June 2, 2016 #100 Share Posted June 2, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
