I think it means they wont be eligible for the Pan-Am continental qualifier so miss out on possible extra quotas. Josh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As 6th with no quota place from the women's 8th Canada could have participated in the American qualifier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zob79 189 Posted September 10, 2023 #314 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Once again we witness the reason why the eights are the iconic race of rowing and will always be. You can't buy magic Adriano 1 If the lights light up exactly at the correct moment, he was definitely first, since his light went on first. Not sure if those lights are 100% accurate though?

Well technically yes, but Italy is so far behind the rest of the field, that anything other than a 6th would've been a massive surprise. Also, as @Rafa Maciel said, if Canada failed to qualify a boat here, we would be eligible for the Continental Qualifiers (and likely two extra quotas).

zob79 189 Posted September 10, 2023 #316 Share Posted September 10, 2023 The mighty dutch rowers are not competing today?

Makedonas 2,127 Posted September 10, 2023 #317 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Another 4th place for Ntouskos. Perhaps he is thinking of switching citizenship to Canada? Ted, Adriano, Josh and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post IoNuTzZ 305 Posted September 10, 2023 Popular Post #319 Share Posted September 10, 2023 11 boats qualified for the Olympic Games, it's absolutely fantastic, 44 athletes out of a possible 45. Rowing is by far the number 1 sport in Romania, I hope for some very good Olympic Games from the Romanian rowers. Good for them.
