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.

Am completely a novice in this sports, why did all Indian teams except k2 DNF..... I think this is the first we are competing 

 

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.........

    • Italy will boycott the Azeri stage for protest against the international federation.
    • Likely for Tannheimer, quite unlikely for Galmace Paulin. She's far from being assured to even start in the WC before turning 20. Basically she'd have to get a spot this season, which could actually happen if she takes the extra-ticket at the JWCH. Anyway I don't see her making her way to gold in Oslo. Tänglander has a few seasons to do it, we'll see.       Quite surprisingly so, indeed. Barring her horrendous finish Richard would have made it 2 in one go. We should have some more names in the list in 2025.
    • There are some of Slovakia's finest young squads at the World Juniors in recent years
    • Alpine skiing also we have a lot of problems: the men's team is very weak and has been winning a few podiums a season for several years and the our best skier- Dominik Paris is 35. We still have a strong women's team but 3 of the 4 leaders are over 30 (Goggia, Brignone, Curtoni) and Bassino is 28. Another 2 years and we will have the same problem as the men's. There is basically no cross-country skiing without Pellegrino for many years, biathlon is based on 2 individuals with one of them has a 35 years. Vittozzi's injury was enough and we haven`t a single podium this season after 3 stages of the World Cup. As for 1 year to the home games the situation isn`t optimistic.
    • Hail to the Reds... Commanders. First time since 1991 Washington QB has thrown 5 TD passes in a game (which isn't all that improbable in the modern game alas Dan Snyder...)    
    • Italy is much better in alpine skiing, in The end all Nations have a Limited Talent Pool. Norway is far better than Sweden/Finland in Cross-Country skiing, alpine skiing and Biathlon, but Sweden/Finland are far better in ice Hockey.  Great Britain wins far more medals than Germany At Summer olympics, but GB is also inexistant in Winter Sports and Most popular Team Sports (Volleyball, Handball, Basketball, Ich Hockey).  
    • Thanks, great stat! Tannheimer wont turn 20 until August 2025, so she has The whole Season To Join Kristiansen and Neuner. Too Bad that she was ill this week. I think Galmace Paulin and Tänglander could also do it. I think Grotian (born 2004) is The First female Biathlete born after 1999 To make a World Cup Podium. On The Mens side multiple Athletes (Perrot, Giacomel, Uldal) have already done it.   E. Öberg was 22 and a half when she First won.  Dahlmeier was 21 and a half.   Edit: Grotian only narrowly missed The Podium in The Individual at The 2024 World Championships when she was still  19 year old.
