What exactly happened ? It use to be one of our top sports . Not even one medal at these championships . Netherlands, Britain and Romania absolutely destroyed 

Not to mention the pathetic amount of boats/athletes (2 and 10 respectively) qualified for Paris, and a missed chance at the Continental Qualifiers, where Trevor Jones would have most likely secured a quota in men's single sculls. Only positive was Moffat/Casson in women's double sculls, who finished fourth. At the Final Qualification Regatta, I'm hoping we can qualify another 3-6 boats, but it's looking quite unlikely at the moment.

Oh wow - I definitely expected Canada to have more of a presence at the last chance qualifiers. It absolutely seems like the right call to focus on fewer crews but ensuring they have the best possible chances but really was expecting Trevor Jones to compete in the men's single.

The coaching staff probably feel the men's eight is the best chance of qualifying/medalling which makes sense since none qualified. But no Trevor Jones makes 0 sense

 

Rowing Canada needs to let go of upper management asap. Last few cycles this has not worked.

    • Meanwhile, Iran killed a Palestinian civilian on the West Bank last night (and lightly injured two Israelis) in a 180 missile attack, which - like in April - seems to have ended up being not much more than somewhat annoying and damaging a few military buildings.
    • America was founded as a country for immigrants from all over (legal immigration), Israel is the land of the Jews, the one land of the jews, so yes i could definitely say that they should take them back, though after the recent attacks i'm not sure who can take them where since it seems like we are about to turn the middle east into a big crater (hopefully)
    • Until about 15 years ago, France probably didn't even have a national futsal team? Or if they did, they certainly didn't play in big events. On the other hand: Italy, Russia and Ukraine have always been strong in this sport, although Italy almost always lost to Spain in key matches.
    • In these days it's rare for a Russian to support for the Ukrainians, am I right?
    • The whole "homeland" talk (which both Israelis and Palestinians engage in) always bothers me because of how incredibly stupid it is.   As a random example, I am Acadian. So where is my "homeland"? Is it Quebec, the "French" area in North America? Is it New Brunswick, where my ancestors fled to after being deported? It it Louisiana, which was set asside for them as a place to live by the British after they were deported? It is Nova Scotia, where the Acadians settled before being conquered and deported? Is it Normandy, where my ancestors lived in Europe before settling in Nova Scotia? Is it Denmark, where my ancestors lived before conquering Normandy? Or do I go back further? Or maybe I should live in Great Britain since my ancestors were forced to become subjects of the Crown? And I'm Roman-Catholic, so maybe Italy is my homeland?   Especially stupid because for every single one of those places, some other group has a better claim as it being their "homeland" than I do, because it turns out it isn't that rare for multiple ethnic groups to have competing legitimate claims over the same area.   Anyway, I ended up moving to Washington State, which is objectively not "my homeland" but, hey, weather's nice here.    
    • This feels like... not an argument an American (or a Canadian :P ) should be making given where we live and how many countries could "take us back"...
    • Plus losing one of the classic winter sports in Nordic combined would be yet another disaster. Like it's not going downhill faster than Marco Odermatt already.
    • And considering Lappartient is basically known as having 'Conflict of Interest' as his middle name....yeah.
    • What nonsense is this?     And Tour de Ski only in Italy...meh. It was such a cool event, years ago.
    • World Junior Championships ( Chuncheon)   Day #1 Medallists   women's -52kg Gold:  Parnian Noori Silver:  Xu Yinuo Bronze:  Sila Irmak Uzuncavdar &  Noa Romero Fernandez   women's -59kg Gold:  Aynaz Nasiri Silver:  Nuray Kaznabek Bronze:  Ella Brewster & Marija Uglesic   men's -52kg Gold:  Jung Jaebin Silver:  Stanislav Mitkov Bronze:  David Valdez Vazquez &  Vasif Salimov
