Double Gold for  in what is now officially the World’s Greatest Sporting Discipline!  

~Kayak Cross puts me in mind of the admiring yet terrible french description of the doomed Charge of the Light Brigade:

 

C'est magnifique, mais ce n'est pas la guerre.

 

It's great bloody fun, and I'll buy it as an event, but it ain't slalom. That said, BMX ain't Tour de France either, so I'm all for let a thousand flowers bloom.

 

And I'd certainly watch it over bloody breaking.

 

Looking forward to a similar vibe once obstacle comes into Modern Pentathlon. Up and at 'em, and may the devil take the last.

I liked Je sans Frontieres too but I'm not sure it had a place in the Olympics.  Still it is what it is and I'll still watch it. 😊

Patrick Kavanagh got the answer right in 'Epic'

All sport is ridiculous taken apart; all the matters is that those who play, and those who watch, care.

If anyone had said in the year 2000 that Britain would be one of the World’s best nations in gymnastics, cycling & canoe slalom, they’d have been taken away in a straitjacket.

So from  quota perspective, I think the "qualified" athletes are

C1 - Mallory Franklin

K1 - Phoebe Spicer

That leaves Kimberley Woods free to take part in the Kayak-Cross qualifier in Prague next year.

 

On the men's side, 

C1 - Adam Burgess

K1 - Joe Clarke

Not sure our C1 men do a lot of Kayak-Cross so team for Prague qualifier will probably be led by Jonny Dickson and Chris Bowers

There's a joke I heard when I was younger that tend to perform better in sports where you sit (canoeing, cycling, equestrian, rowing, sailing)

I think my biggest problem with it is the amount of luck as well as skill that is often involved. Your choice of gate can effect not only your own fate but that of others in both positive and negative ways.

 

Still it's entertaining and as you say it's definitely preferable to breaking! It's a sport for starters! 😎 If nothing else I won't forget Stephanie Horn's decision to swim rather than paddle down the course today! 🏊‍♀️

It was made by an Aussie which is ironic considering that they too rely heavily on those sports at the OG together with one in which they are horizontal most of the time!😊

Surely Mallory gets to compete in the K1 as she was the top athlete.
