Brazil won the men's K2 200m. However, one of the athletes also won Brazil the quota in the K1 200m meaning the quota will be transferred to Cuba.

It really hurts that we didnt qualify in mens C2 1000, because we are the defending olympic champion and since 1988 we always won a medal in this discipline (gold in 1992, 1996, 2004 and 2012). I cant say that its really shocking, Kuschela ended his career and Kretschmer was injured all the time. Sadly we couldnt compete with our best boat (Rebstock/Brendel), because Brendel already qualified in C1 1000m. We will send a very small team with only 11 athletes, but the good thing is that all of our athletes have a realistic chance to win a medal. Our goal should be to win 4 golds (mens C1 1000m, mens K2 1000m, womens K2 500m and womens K4 500m) and 6 medals in total (mens K2 200m, mens K1 1000m, mens K4 1000m).

According to Latvian Olympic Committee, they have received a reallocation in men's K1 200m (as we expected that it might happen).

 

Hungary exceeded the maximum number of athletes in men's kayak so they returned the men's K1 quota, which went to Latvia.

no. Cuba won quota in c1 200 and c2 1000.

 

An NOC can qualify a maximum of two (2) athlete quota places in the Men’s Canoe category a the Continental Qualification Events.
