Recommended Posts

What a fail from us in men's K1:facepalm::facepalm::facepalm: I don't remember when last time we haven't all quotas in this sport at Olympics...

@hckosice How big are our chances for winning last one available quota in next year?

Herzog must be doping, how can 19 year old win a medal!?

You might be sarcastic but I know many slalom racers personally. I highly doubt any of them would dope. No matter what country.

There’s honestly not much to be gained from it in the sport (at least from my point of view, but canoe is one of the few sports I’ve never done). Plus, the mentality is pretty laid back and paddlers genuinely enjoy competing because it’s fun. I could maybe see a :CZE:SVK:SLO paddler try doping just because of how competitive the sport is domestically, but then a low chance.

In M K1 ? Big I would say. Basically you have no real competition for the last available quota, all strong nations and good paddlers from smaller canoe slalom countries are already qualified.

 

For me, your main opponents will be apart the 2 countries with naturalized slovak paddlers :LAT (Samuel Stanovsky) and :HUN (Marcel Potočný) mainly :IRL:CRO but the one I would more affraid is :BEL Matthieu Doby. however as I said honnestly Poland with 3 decent paddlers should win this quota on paper quite easily. but again we know that in this sport you always have to count on that randomness factor in a single race, one silly mistake and everything can happen...

 

 

I would be more worried about the W C1 quota for you, Here I am afraid the task may be too hard for your girl(s) facing 3 paddlers from France, Slovenia (both still can be qualified directly via reallocations - HOPEFULLY) and Slovakia your chances are basically inexistant

I'm still counting that we'll get this quota after reallocation so no continental ;)

    • How wonderful!   I met the national rowing (and beach rowing) coach of EST/LTU/LAT on the way to ice hockey one day, who's Canadian by the way. I also flew home on the same flight as JC Schoonmaker's mom and friends, so we chatted for a bit.
    • Yea I only used transit besides this Uber / bus to the airport and back. All the venues were at the end of the line, so it allowed you to speak with other fans/volunteers etc. I even met Corrine Stoddard's mom after the first session of short track on the way back, and told her to remember our conversation if she won a medal later in the Olympics. We know how that ended up... 
    • I used public transit the entire time I was in Milan.   My first day was a doozy, because I had to two flights to reach Malpensa, and then the train into town was delayed, and then I got confused a station and boarded a tram instead of the metro, proceeded to travel in the wrong direction, got off, walked back to the station, found the metro, got off a station early, walked around a kilometer to my hotel, and checked in.   My colleagues mostly took cabs upon arrival, but I deduced to take the frugal approach. That said, I was a true public transit professional by the time I left Milan.   I actually enjoyed my rides to and from venues, because I'd just chat up fans and volunteers from different countries. It helped me learn more about the city too.   
    • It's the olympics, sleep is for the weak!    The first day i got there i was on a 12 hour flight from l.a to rome (flight that left mid day), lay over, another flight to milan, uber to hotel, then right away to speed skating (1500m men), then after uber to hockey venue for women's gold final, then after the celebrations uber to the hotel, i ended up being awake about 36 hours that day, the next morning i thought to go sightseeing in the center of milan, but ended up sleeping until like 2pm..... and had speed skating/short track that night 
    • I tried to get onto the metro multiple times and gave up    I had just arrived the day of from Bangkok (12 hr flight) and was just exhausted and wanted to sleep 
    • Plus, you missed out on a potential metro ride with me, which is quite priceless in my opinion 
    • My hotel was very close to Rho so was easy to get there, but it was so far from the hockey venue that after the women's gold medal match it was so expensive to get back, and also the next day after the usa slovakia semis it took forever, the asshole driver took the city and not the freeway  
    • Uber cost me $224 CAD to get back to the hotel from the OC. It basically prevented me from buying tickets to a speed skating session 
    • Romania's national team coach, Mircea Lucescu, has died half an hour ago He was in hospital since March 30th, just before the friendly match against Slovakia. Unbelievable how the life can have such turns...in March 26th he was in Istanbul playing the WC qualifying play-off vs Turkiye and now he died.    Thank you very much for every moments you bring us in your huge career (he's on 3rd place in a most trophies won in career, after Ferguson and Guardiola) and may your soul rest in peace, Mr. Lucescu.
