I just read that they missed semifinal being slower than South Africa just by 0,02 seconds 

 

Yes everything looks really good until last metres....

To be honest we did not have a big upsets yet in olympic period.  But we have a hard days now - rowing with one quota and zero from wrestling possible.

I think Poland is getting stronger and stronger. You are on the way to host Olympic Games sooner or later

I dont think so, really...

 

About hosting, maybe it will happen, but in next 100 years.

Good results in the preliminary round for our 10 desired Olympic boats. Only the Men Eight expected more. The Dutch federation did everything possible for a gold medal for the Men's Eight, but we were just over 2 seconds behind GB today. Sometimes it seems as if the Men's Eight is the only thing that counts in the Netherlands, because we accidentally won Olympic gold in 1996. I'm very happy with every boat that qualifies for the Olympics and even happier with every medal.

Women's Pair

         & " Neutral"

(NB the Croatian Pair had to withdraw due to illness) 

 

Lightweight Women's Double Sculls

       

 

Women's Four

 

 

Men's Four

   

 

Men's Quadruple Sculls

    

 

Women's Quadruple Sculls

 

Well, if we qualify all four of our pairs and both singles, we still match our 10 quotas from last Olympics

 

The quadruple men don't look that strong, wouldn't put my money on them at the Olympic qualifier tournament, but still surprised why we didn't attempt to enter the women's quadruple skulls, when we have a full team sitting this event out after successful World & European U23's

So I did this exercise of trying to rank every boat's form coming into these champs. I did this last year for myself and well it wasn't particularly accurate in terms of trying to predict results but hopefully offers some perspective on where boats might finish and expectations for number of Olympic qualifiers. > means I think a given boat will finish higher than where I have ranked them and < means I think it will actually finish lower than where it is ranked here.        

 

Anyone know why Japan withdrew all their boats except for their single scullers. I assume it is Asian games related but the likes of their W4- would have at least been competitive here

The Danish pair was unlucky as well as Lærke was hit by glandular fever shortly before the Worlds  

Felt like they should be an Olympic contender, but not with that kind of luck.
