Yea pathetic performance all around. Hoping the BOD makes a swift and decisive move here.

I knew we wouldn’t do well but this is even worse than I expected.

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.

This is so disappointing I really hope we can get a least one rowing medal next year in Paris

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.

Stunning. Max 4 boats out of 14. Where is Trevor Jones?

So sad to see what was once one of our top sports being reduced to just a few boats.

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.
