Interesting also that the ICF and organizers took this world cup stage as a Olympic first pre-test and changed even the rules to make them "Olympics" In fact we are using the classic Olympic format with best of 2 runs count in the heats, and in Sunday the Kayak-Cross will have also a new format with 1st round the morning followed by Repechages before the classic Last 16 round.QF, SF and so...

 

Also the finals will be with top 12 paddlers from the 24 members semifinals

The biggest crowd support and cheers so far for Carole Bouzidi in this W K1 Semifinals

Jessica Fox got a 50 in the semifinal, her team (parents) unoffical leaders of ICF Canoe Sllaom section immediatelly intervened, The 50 was removed and changed by a 2 seconds penalty. J. Fox back in the final...

 

I can´t anymore. Counting the days when she will finally retire so this sport can re-clean

 

 

50 also for Eliška Mintálová, sad end of the season for her, but at least her Olympic quota is secured. In other side very Nice qualification for the final for Soňa Stanovská here

So Paolo Ceccon really hit the jackpot at the world champs with his bronze medal, He will represent in Paris C1 instead of Ivaldi...

 

Strange decision from the federation. I mean the bronze was nice from Ceccon, but to be fair he did not show anything else so far in opposite of Raffello Ivaldi

I think that the Italian federation didn't do any choices yet.

Yeah Ivaldi miles better than Ceccon. Sorry, but this was a huge error from Italian federation.

 

Interesting to see different internal qualifiers formats across different nations.

Our co-commentator (expert) revealed this. Italian coaches said it to him.

"The TOP 5 at the Worlds means automatic internal Italian quota. Ceccon with his bronze hit the jackpot."

Announced clusterfuck is happening ! The battle for quota in M C1 is going to be crazy.

 

All 3 are in final. This is the last race.

 

Reminder of the current situation before the very last race. Final here in Vairnes-Sur-Marne

This is so unfair that some sports have 2 or 3 athletes at the Olympics, while other sports are limited to only 1 per country.
