Thanks !

 

Well, after the removal of the C2, this happened to be our only strong canoeing slalom event, so all our hopes and supports are going to be moved on this.

 

 

 

Hard to say. All 3 are really close in the qualifying ranking after 2 events.

 

M C1

 

Rank Athlete WC Stage 4 WC Stage 5 World Champs European Champs Total
1 Matej Beňuš 28 30     58
2 Michal Martikán 28 28     56
3 Alexander Slafkovský 30 25     55

 

Sometimes It feels like this internal qualification is much more dramatic and epic than the Olympics race itself :p

 

True that. The C2 removal is a huge shame. Nobody wants to race in this category anymore. 

 

Anyways the internal qualification.... Something like K1 Men in Czech. The competition there is enormous.

On the one hand, the lack of Beňuš would be a great loss, and on the other hand, the start of the Olympic Games by Martikán would be the perfect culmination of the career. If you had to decide who you bet on @hckosice ?

Right, the M K1 is one great Czech show right now, Vít Přindiš, Jiří Prskavec, Ondřej Tunka  and Vavřinec Hradílek every one of them can win gold in any event any day :bowdown:

Personally I'd give it to Sašo Slafkovský, he was never at the Olympics, but definitely deserve it so much, he was competing at the very top level since the early 2000´s but always lost the quota to Martikán and before Rio just by a few to Beňuš. + Currently, I would say Slafkovský would be our best chance to medal, since he has arguably the best results and showing the best technique lately. and he´s such a humble and positve guy.

One of the girls from the W K1 team did not finished the race, resulting in a DNF of the whole team. It was not clear from the video but it looks like she sadly hit the rocks on the board before turning to one of the upstream gates in the bottom and probably have broken her boat

 

India already competed last year If I remember correctly

The journeys of Indian canoeists and canoeists looked tragic. I mean skipping goals or hitting them centrally. In addition, they made a lot of technical mistakes. You have to be forgiving and keep your fingers crossed to work on further development.

For us, it is digging holes under rivals. This was the case even during the Polish championships in K1, where Mateusz Polaczyk did poorly in the eliminations, which meant he had to fight Krzysztof Majerczak. The latter was the best in the qualifying rounds, and Polaczyk was 7. Then it was decided to cancel the second run or in this situation the qualifying round was considered as a qualification. This meant that he almost lost his chance to qualify for the team, which would be a great sensation. The main reason for canceling the second passage was a blocked sluice, but as the photo by Grzegorz Polaczyk (team coach and Mateusz's brother) shows. On Facebook Grzegorz Polaczyk described the situation as follows: "Interesting. Today, the technical manager and main referee in the presence of the Polish Canoe Association authorities decided that the qualifying competition for the Polish National Team ends only on the first run of two planned rides, the reason for the blocked sluices? !! (second the ride was to be an elimination ride to the Polish National Team but you have to show Mateusz Polaczyk that his place is out of the national team. Do not help him develop his talent until he destroys himself) the totally blocked sluices can be seen in the attached photo !! (photo taken 15 minutes after making the above decision )Congratulations on your decision !! and I wish you the best and great successes of Polish mountain canoeists led by people of good will, such as Mr. Bogdan Popiela.Ps. Mateusz Polaczyk, undisputedly the most titled mountain kayaker in Polish history, has so far achieved more than all other Polish canoeists combined. I wish my colleagues better results than Mateusz, just remember that your opponent is not in a kayak. "And do you think this is not sick? For China, this has nothing to do with healthy competition.

I think we are getting better at canoeing sprints but slalom seems to be a bridge to far, I think it requires specialised infrastructure which I think is almost completely absent.........

    • We don’t even have a broadcaster or streaming platform for the games ! IOC couldn’t get any deal for the Indian viewers and we can’t watch this games live ! 
    • 2028 Team Size Projection – Jan 2026 Update   Here’s an update to my 2028 Team Size Projection. While I touch upon major events changes may occur due to results in smaller events. Additionally, several sports released their qualification document so there may be cases where I have to update the projection. I will only include sports where there is an update.   Here is the link to the updated sheet.     Aquatics (Water Polo) The Men’s European Championships saw take gold. The victory moved Serbia up a few places between European nations. With that said, no one fell out of Olympic qualification with the likes of France and Romania still on the outside looking in. remains on the edge.   Athletics (Marathon) Both the Xiamen and Osaka marathons were held this month along with a few other smaller events. While there were a few changes in the rankings, in terms of Olympic projections gains an athlete in the men’s marathon at the expense of   Badminton Major tournaments include the Malaysia Open and India Open. New updates which affected projections include the women’s doubles where overtook . As Polina Buhrova is also scheduled to compete in the singles event, an additional spot has been open. Other changes in the women’s singles was loses one of their quotas. and benefit from those losses.   Indonesia’s loss on the women’s side is offset by gaining a second player in the men’s singles. This puts   on the outside.   Canoeing The qualification document for both Slalom and Sprint were released/updated. No significant changes were found in the Sprint update. Slalom had significant changes relative to 2024 where the initial quotas will be decided by rankings and kayak cross will now have significant quotas being allocated. After adjustment, the following nations lost a quota; Andorra, Chinese Taipei, Ireland, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Slovakia, and Sweden. The following nations gained a quota; Canada, China, France, Italy, South Africa, Spain, and Tunisia.   Cricket The Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier was held. No changes to the projection.   Equestrian (Dressage & Jumping) Various World Cup events were held. No changes to the projections were made.   Fencing We had two Grand Prix this month, one for epee and the other for sabre. In men’s epee, overtakes . On the women’s side, the United States moved into the top 4 in the team ranking, pushing Estonia down to fifth. This pushed out of Olympic qualification while takes the Americas quota. This caused a downstream effect on the individual side as Ukraine takes an individual quota and Canada relinquishes their quota, additionally, gained a quota while lost one.   In men’s sabre, now takes the Asian team quota pushing down to just an individual quota. No changes were found in women’s sabre.   Handball Four men’s continental championships were held this month. finished top in Africa while a couple of upsets were saw in South America and Asia where and won over and respectively. Despite their wins, they currently haven’t leapfrogged into being projected to qualify. We’ll see how they perform at the World Championships.   Europe saw finish fourth. This was enough to push it into Olympic qualification projection. They pushed out.   Rowing The qualification document was released. There was a change in boat allocation relative to 2024 and the continental qualifier was slightly different than what I projected. Additionally, I assumed coastal rowing would allow 2 men and 2 women to compete in its three events, but the max is 1 man and 1 woman. This has caused significant changes to the projections.   Overall, the United States lost four quotas. Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Lithuania, New Zealand, Norway, and Spain lost two quotas and Algeria, Argentina, Croatia, Cuba, Egypt, Kazakhstan, Netherlands, Portugal, Tunisia lost one quota.   The following nations have gained two athletes; Japan, Morocco while the following nations gained one athlete; Angola, Austria, Belgium, Chile, Chinese Taipei, Cote d’Ivoire, Denmark, Estonia, Kuwait, Latvia, Mexico, Romania, Philippines, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, South Africa, South Korea, Switzerland, Togo, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu   Rugby Sevens Fixing a couple of mistakes. First on the men, actually has the Asian quota over and in the women as is essentially shutting down the program, I think it is only right to remove them until they decide to compete again. This means is also projected to qualify.   As for new updates, we saw the third tier SVNS compete, which brought no new updates and the Singapore SVNS. I also didn’t add the Dubai or Cape Town SVNS in my calculations. For both, while there was some shuffling no one ultimately fell out.   Shooting The Asian Shotgun Championships were held this month. A few top shooters were missing. The only change to the projection is is set to qualify in women’s trap, pushing out   Squash The Tournament of Champions was held this month. Additionally, the qualification document was released. There was some restriction as to how many nations can send two players and this sport will offer universality quotas.   The following nations lost an athlete quota; Colombia, France, Great Britain, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and New Zealand. The following nations gained an athlete quota; Canada, Pakistan, Spain (x2), Switzerland, Ukraine   Triathlon The qualification document was released. There are a few changes relative to 2024. Projection changes include: Losses to Hong Kong and Slovenia and gains for Austria and China.   Weightlifting The qualification document was released. One change to be made was the reallocation process for host nation quotas. Due to this, El Salvador Iraq, Palau, Sri Lanka, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu lost quotas while Australia, China, Dominican Republic, Iran, and Samoa (x2) gained quotas.   Wrestling The qualification document was released. There were some significant changes to the qualification process including using the world rankings and the final qualifier only consisting of non-qualified nations. The projection changes are as follows; losses to Belarus, Bulgaria, China, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Russia, South Korea, Sweden, and Turkey.   Belgium and Lithuania gained 2 quotas while American Samoa, Austria, Estonia, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Latvia, Madagascar, Spain, and Turkmenistan gained 1 quota.
    • Looks like we in the Philippines are in the same situation. No news yet on whether we’ll be able to watch the Games 
    • Cricket is any day in a better position than Baseball, Modern Pentathlon or Rowing 8s globally
    • http://i.imgur.com/gLJZbix.jpg   Honestly football is just on another level. For other sports, an expanded field or creating multiple host cities likely only works with baseball, cricket and maybe basketball, and only in very specific countries.
    • No streaming for the games in India. I contacted IOC they just sent me a list where the games will be shown live.    Last games we had the Olympic channel and YouTube showing the live coverage for regions with no media rights. This time sadly no such schedule.   So much about making the games accessible to all...
    • What revealed those files of Epstein !!!! thousands of scandals , horrible diguisting things mixing politic criminalities , robbery , scam , manipulation...etc    all those celebrities of shht that you love   
    • I wonder if instead of having flexibility around what sport to add there should be one or two team sports per game with an expanded field (of 16 or 32 or w/e) where the host gets to pick which which team sports (if any) has an expanded field.
