Rowing FISA World Championships 2019

And another provisional Olympic quota for the Dutch fleet, this time in men's double sculls. Too bad commentators aren't really in the known and think they can now go to the Olympics, Martin Haven (bobsleigh/skeleton) always knows everything

These qualifications were so triggering I'm used to constantly worrying for Lithuanians in A finals. It was a very weird feeling to see them struggling so hard in B.

Two more quotas for Lithuania. I was worried we'll miss it, just like we bombed canoeing qualifications.

Nice to see the Dutch team going pretty well again  Not some insane improvement or something, they've always had several world class boats in Olympic disciplines so it's not like several medals is all too surprising or something, but nice  

 

2018: 2 medals for the Netherlands in olympic events

2017: 1 medal for the Netherlands in olympic events

2015: 2 medals for the Netherlands in olympic events

2014: 0 medals for the Netherlands in olympic events

2013: 2 medals for the Netherlands in olympic events

...

2019: 4 medals for the Netherlands in olympic events AFTER DAY 1 ...

So AFTER DAY 1 of the 2019 world championships the Netherlands have ONLY ONE MEDAL LESS in olympic events THAN THEY HAD IN THE LAST 4 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS COMBINED!

 

Edit: I think it is only 4 medals in olympic events so far, so the Netherlands this year won 1 medal less after day one than in the last 4 editions combined.

And with that bronze, I believe this is the most succesful WCh ever for the Netherlands

It's quite obvious the US only care about the big boats. It will be interesting to see them v Ger/GB and NED in the M8+ and also v NZ in the W8+. They could walk away with minor medals in both though. Which would be a shock for their W8+ which is by far their strongest boat.
