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.

Ogreman 279 Posted August 23, 2023 #26 Share Posted August 23, 2023 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.
