Halčin got a 50sec penality that means he will miss Rio, our biggest hope in our weakest event K1 will not be in the team, the doors are now entirely open for the young YOG medalist Jakub Grigar

Lol, looks like choosing sleep over following this was a great choice. So, canoeing becomes the 3rd sport in which we didn't qualify after competing in London. And this is also the first time ever that we are not going to compete in canoeing.

 

Just shows how rapidly our sport is declining. Having some medal chances doesn't say much about sport, this is a better reference. All of our medal chances are older athletes, and who will replace them? No one, because no one will qualify.

I have a feeling that Netherlands will quite likely refuse this quota. They have their standards usually That leaves quota to Sweden, who else has its standards (and I doubt they are open to accepting reallocations). We might as well see Hungary getting it in the end.

Netherlands usually has some internal standards like "Top 10 finish at 2015 World Championships" or "Top 5 finish at 2016 European Championships". Maybe heywoodu knows something. I know that he was actually happy because some Dutch fencer failed to qualify at QT few weeks ago. She didn't have selection criteria so it would be sad to see her quota getting refused..
