Slalom Canoeing ICF World Championships 2023

Today ended an incredible across all-sports World championship medal streak which started in 2009...

 

A dumb hit at the upper part of the track, when a strong wind blew Matej Beňuš a bit strongly than he expected and pushed him to slightly touch the gate... 2 seconds penalty.. which at the end costed us the medal and the end of this epic streak...:(

 

I do not know what is going on this year, what did we to the gods... but this 2023 year is just Cruel, complete neverending frustration and disappointement...

 

After losing the Cortina 2026 direct Ice Hockey Quota at the very end thanks absolute non-sportsmanship from :SUI , for the first time since the independence of the country we failed to qualify in Canoe Sprint, including our national flagship and eternal medal hope, 4 time out of the last 5 Olympics medalist, the K4 missing the Games for the first time since 1996... Our naturalized wrestler who last 5 years collecting European and World medals left and right failing to qualify to the games again (where he would be basically our biggest and maybe sole medal chance of the Paris 2024)... came today this sorowfull end of a streak and an era... because of weather :cry:

2 most painfull penalty seconds in our history probably since the Athens 2004 delayed phantom hit of Martikán :(

Don’t know yet, but certainly SF & F.

Just checking again. Friday & Sunday’s It’s a Knockout! Races are live on the BBC Red Button Channel & obviously streaming as well.  Saturday there is football, rugby etc, so will be streaming only.  But plenty of coverage.

Don't know if this is any use, Vlad.

If the heat results were repeated here are the quota boats

:GER:GBR:BRA:UKR:ESP:AND:CZE:USA :NED:FRA:POL:ITA 

 

The European games spot would then go to :SVK 

 

Obviously a long way to go but just an exercise to show how it might work

As I’ve said before, the micro PPV network they use is pretty reliable & good quality once you pay up your €s.

If the Men's C1 heats were repeated, these would be the quotas

 

:ESP:ITA :FRA:GBR :IRL:SLO:SVK:USA:GER:POL:SUI:CHN 

 

:CZE would get the European Games spot

 

As with the women, there's a long way to go

Yes, there's a few who had poor first runs who'll definitely be in the running for top twelve spots, notably Jessica Fox who was way down.

    • I`m very disappointed with this weekend. Only becouse of Ghiotto form I`m happy. Unfortunately, the women's team will not function well if Lollobrigida skips most of the training camps and Fontana starts alternately in short tack and long track. It will end with her not winning any medals here or there, because it`s already clear that it will be very difficult to achieve good results in long track. I hope that she understands this, because in short track she has a real chance of winning medals in the women's relay and the mixed relay but in long track not.
    • Tragic performance of the Italian women's team - last place and probably something bad happened at the start. There are so few starts in the team that it will be a problem to even qualify for the World Championships - 8 best teams. After Lollobrigida's return and Fontana's addition, I was counting on much more, but it seems that there are too few joint trainings. With individual quality, we have no right to lose to the Czechs without Sablikova, or anonymous Korea. And unfortunately this start will count for a lot, because there are only 2 more and our chances of playing at the World Championships are minimal. In my opinion with Fontana going from Short Track to Long Trackand vice versa, we won't be much use in the team. Here great teamwork is needed, not improvisation. As of today, there is very little chance that we will qualify the women's team for the games.
    • men advanced to Division A for the first time since 2018 (when they went 1-8). Don't expect much progress next year
    • Ok, but there we are talking about a person who has parents from different countries. Colturi has nothing to do with Albania.
    • There are few people here from Austria, Switzerland, Norway and Finland.
    • The worst editions in XXI century for us were Vancouver: 5 medals (only 1 gold for Razzoli's on the penultimate day) and Sochi: 8 medals (but no gold). Turin was already a prelude to this bad period, although the number of gold medals was ok. Overall we won fewer medals at home than in 2002 and this was probably the only case in the 21st century when the host country won fewer medals at home than 4 years earlier, either in summer or winter. In general the years 2008-2016 were very bad in our sport, both in summer and winter. Only 2018 in Korea was a slight rebuild + 2 fantastic summer editions in Tokyo and Paris. in Beijing 2022 we won a lot of medals - 17 but only 2 gold (If it weren't for Gogga's injury, I think it would have been 4 gold).
    • Totallympics had  users at one point, but I haven't seen any hanging around in a while.
    • In terms of total medals, yes. In terms of golds, I’d be fine with anywhere from 6-8.   @intoronto you don’t think we’ll do better or at least the same? Bit surprising.
    • Tadeucci was very good and took bronze
    • On the Olympics I don't like to count golds to analyse the performance, I think the best data are the top8 and medals. In both fields I expect a big improvement (obviously not on the 'pure' number, but on the percentage of medal or top8 events)
