JoshMartini007 2,532 Posted September 6, 2023 #141 Share Posted September 6, 2023 Not the greatest championships for Canada, but that's to be expected given the level of our program. Remember when rowing use to be our best performing sport? Thankfully the other sports have step up. Josh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Obviously not counting the eights here). Only two boats not in the top 16 made the semis and one was the AIN (Belarus) boat which obviously had zero form to go off. Accounting for a few errors on my part and quarterfinal/repechage draws meaning in some cases 4 or 5 boats I had picked were competing for the same spots in the semis I think this estimation has gone pretty well. Obviously we will see how many actual qualifiers it gets right and medals well might be less accurate so not sure how useful it would be as say an Olympic predictor. It no longer looks quite as clean but at least nine of the semifinalists were right in every boat class so we should be on for an 80+% hit rate on correct Olympic qualifiers. It was a bad day for Greece and Belgium who had multiple projected qualifiers miss out on the semis. Italy are the big winners so far.

Rafa Maciel 1,592 Posted September 6, 2023 #150 Share Posted September 6, 2023 Looking distinctly likely that could end up sending one of their smallest rowing squads to an Olympic Games in over 20 years. Having only entered 12 out of the 14 classes, they are now down to just 9 boats still in contention. The only positive to the situation is that over half of the remaining British crews could find themselves on the podium at the end of the regatta.
