Sprint Canoeing OCA Oceanian Championships 2020


Recommended Posts

This will be the continental qualifier for Oceania. Here are the list of eligible nations in each event. There are other rules, but the simple way to look at it is a nation can only qualify one boat per boat class (men's kayak, men's canoe, women's kayak, women's canoe). Also at least three eligible nations must compete.

 

Men's K1 200m - :COK:PLW:SAM:TGA

Men's K1 1000m - :COK:NZL:PLW:SAM

Men's K2 1000m - :COK:NZL:SAM:TGA

Men's C1 1000m - :AUS:COK:SAM

Women's K1 200m - :AUS:COK:PLW:SAM

Women's K1 500m - :AUS:COK:PLW:SAM

Women's K2 500m - :AUS:COK:NZL

Women's C1 200m - :AUS:NZL:SAM

Women's C2 500m - :AUS:NZL:SAM

 

I'm not sure if the three nation rule applies at the start or at the end. If the latter then the women's C1 200m and potentially the women's K1 200m (if New Zealand fails to win the K2 500m quota) will be reallocated.

I'm guessing that Samoa and Cook Islands will get two quotas each. Palau and Tonga will need a lot of luck.

Palau and Tonga will both look for Tripartite spots. Palau got one in 2016, so the ICF would probably favor Tonga here.

 

Though the Pacific nations haven’t shown much strength, canoe racing is strongly rooted in their culture. Va’a is one of the most anticipated sports at every Pacific Games. Its nice to see more nations thriving to qualify here.

I don't think they will give both Palau and Tonga tripartite quotas, there are only two after all with other places like Belize, Dominica, Malta, Mozambique and North Macedonia all wanting a spot. The men's K1 200m race will be key. Palau also has an option on the women's side which is helpful as the men's side is a bit crowded.

Australia won the women's C2 500 race; however, the results page doesn't clarify is Samoa actually started, was disqualified or any other reason for them not having a registered time, so I'm in doubt if they will be awarded the quota.

Apparently quota places were awarded in all events which started today. That would explain why all qualification contenders are always put together in heat 1. :mumble:

 

Anyway, quota allocation seems to be as follows...

Men's K1 1000 m - :SAM Samoa

Men's K2 1000 m - :NZL New Zealand

Men's C1 1000 m - :AUS Australia

Women's K1 500 m - :SAM Samoa

Women's K2 500 m - :AUS Australia

Women's C2 500 m - :AUS Australia

Well, technically, New Zealand provisionally qualified in both men's K1 events, but it is a fair assumption (at 99%+) that they will choose a bigger boat.


Either way - Samoa is guaranteed to qualify in either K1 or K2.

    • grab the final men’s quota so arguably the top two favourites on each side qualified 
    • I thought that was the case.  I just started watching skimo last year, but even then, I didn't recognize any of the women.  I recognized the top Swiss guy, I think.

    • Yes, that and a lot of the main medal contenders  either didn't have teams entered/or fielded B-C teams

    • Unexpected boost for Team .  They are at least going to have a credible excuse if anyone fails any drug tests.     American rapper Snoop Dogg has been named an 'honorary coach' for Team USA at next year's Winter Olympics.   The United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) announced on Thursday the 54-year-old will take on "a volunteer role celebrating and supporting America's athletes off the field of play".   Snoop Dogg named 'honorary coach' for Team US at Winter Olympics - BBC Sport
    • Just now getting around to these results...glad to see USA win a gold.  Didn't think we were much of a contender here.  Home soil luck?
    • Qualification status that could realistically change this week, barring (except where noted) new time qualifying performances :   Men   500m : pretty much done   1000m : pretty much done   1500m : pretty much done   5000m : one outlier at the moment  Semirunniy. He's currently not qualified for the distance being 18/15 in the rankings and R1 time-wise. He could still punch his ticket :    either by getting into the top 15 with a very good result (a podium or even a win would be needed). If it is at the expanse of  Henriksen or, less likely,  Swings, then the loser is out. If it is at the expanse of any other, then  Sasaki is out.  or by hoping Lorello gets into the top 15 at the expanse of Henriksen or Swings. or by going faster than Sasaki (6'08''834) which seems reachable after his 10k, even in Hamar.   10000m : once again Henriksen is on the bubble. If  Maly, Petzold of  Farthofer gets into the top 9 at the expanse of Malfatti or Snellink, then he's out.    Mass-start : not much at stake considering most of the reserve skaters will already receive an additional quota - at the moment    . Morino  will try to enter top 32 and be in those additional quota spots.    Team pursuit : pretty much done   Women   500m : pretty much done   1000m : with  Thorup not cleared to participate one more spot is up for grabs.  Scholz would need to be in front of both Herzog (done as she's not entered) and Czerwonka (7 points) after this final week.  Silaeva would be left out.    1500m : Lamarche not competing and  Zofia Braun being promoted to A division, Poland has got a real shot at a second quota. Braun will need to stay in front of Scholz and Weidemann, who could still finish ahead of her depending on how good Braun fares in A division.  Smedding would suffer from a Polish rise.   3000m : match-up between  Yang and  Horikawa only separated by 3 points. At the moment Yang is out (R2) but if they exchange position in the standings then Horikawa is out (R1). They could also both finish ahead of Hofmann, at the expanse of  Golubeva ultimately.  Jasch has a small shot at a second German quota too, by edging the former two skaters, eliminating them.    5000m : pretty much done   Mass-start :  Santo Rodrigues is hanging on by a thread. The cruelty of it is that those immediately behind her -    - will get an aditional spot anyways, so it does not really matter if they finish in the top 24 ahead of her, except it would allow France to enter a second skater and two girls in the MS.   Team pursuit : three-way asymetrical tie for the last SOQP spot between   and , all in division A. Norway needs to beat both as they can't rely on a time Q, Kazakhstan needs to beat Norway to ensure (if they fail to beat China) the first SOQT spot and avoid the Italian wild-card*, whereas China is pretty safe. *  is currently out but they "only" need to get into a reserve spot to be qualified, which is going faster than 3'00'92 (or faster than Norway if they too decide to skate faster). They were not far off this mark in Hamar earlier this year but the team was in a better shape overall.
