Another small team - not sure why they've opted for the men's Eight rather than having entries in the Pair and/or Four

They probably think they have a better chance at qualifying in eights given the number of entries.

But with only 5 quotas available the Eight is probably the most difficult boat class to qualify for - despite the fact that there are so few entrants.

I'd still argue that they are more likely to qualify.

 

At the very least Austria could make the argument for more funding by finishing in the top 10.

To be fair to the Austrian eight while it did finish 7nth of 7 at World cup iii. It was surprisingly competitive and nearly knocked Canada out in the rep. They could have put out a pair and a four but it is not like they would be likely to qualify in those boats anyway and then your leaving two extra athletes at home. Besides eights are just cool.

Thread title should say “World Rowing,” not “FISA,” right? This isn’t 2003 :p

Or, as it is now, this is apparently the thread for the 'Rowing World Rowing World Championships' :lol: 

 

Ah how I love the unnecessary double use of words in titles :p 

 

Too bad UCI isn't called 'World Cycling' yet, so we could have the World Cycling Road Cycling World Championships.

    • It's just that Austria had a lot of ski drivers, and we don't have any others among the young ones now.
    • Marco Girardelli went to Luxembourg one day and he had a great career. I doubt he did regret that move.

    • You know, but we still don't know what that was about. Ceccarelli has a difficult character but still changing colors to a country with which you have absolute no connetions? What would you say if Iga Swiatek fell out with the Polish tennis federation and started playing for Luxembourg or Andorra? Certainly not everyone would decide to take such a step, even if they had to give in a little in talks with the federation.    Another thing is that the Italian training system simply doesn`t work. As you can see, there are talents but we don`t know how to train them. Since the golden generation born in 1990-1995 (Brignone, Bassino, Goggia) we haven`t trained anyone who would stand on the podium in giant slalom or slalom in World Cup. So something is wrong. At the beginning of the 21st century we had a large group of good athletes in giant slalom (maybe not at Brignone's level): Karbon, Moelgg, Putzer, Gius, etc., who were able to win World Cups, win World Championship medals, etc. Now we have no one. In women's giant slalom for example: if Brignone and Bassino are gone, even getting to the first 20 in World Cup will be a problem for us.
    • I remember that Lara Gut's family also had a conflict with the Swiss federation at the beginning of her career around 2008/2009 but it was resolved. I remember that the family also wanted to have a greater influence on their daughter's career. It was probably similar here. If there was a will from both sides, an agreement should have been reached. Especially since Colturi has zero ties with Albania. Sinner could have played for Austria sooner, as a person from South Tyrol.
    • Berrettini defeated Kokkinakis in 3 set   And now, it's Sinner time.
    • Well, it was to be expected that Colturi was going to have a breakout result like that sooner or later and the state of Italian alpine skiing will create some very long faces. But hey, if Italy  let their "best" prospect walk because of money then it's their fault. If there was some personal feud between Ceccarelli & federation it's even worse.
    • Stage 3 in Gurgl (AUT)   Women´s Slalom:   1. Mikaela Shiffrin    1:40.22 2. Lara Colturi    1:40.77 3. Camille Rast    1:40.79   Full Final Results HERE
    • Stage 1 in Lillehammer (NOR)   Women´s Individual Large Hill:   1.  Nika Prevc    269.9 2. Katharina Schmid    247.6 3. Selina Freitag    244.4   Full Final Result HERE
    • WOW!!!!!    4-2 down and facing 3 German counters, Bruce Mouatt nails an amazing triple takeout to score 2!      4  4 after 4 ends.
