Slalom Canoeing ICF World Championships 2023

[hckošice 15,824]

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 , 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

 

 

and now 2023...

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

A reminder of the ranking of nations from the European games. I expect the European Games quota to go quite a bit down the World Championship rank.

 

France has been assigned a quota for mens and womens K1.

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.

If the heat results were repeated here are the quota boats

 

 

The European games spot would then go to  

 

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

 

 

 

 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.
