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.

    • And is there any chance that the Polish president would have escape within the first 2-3 days of war? Probably 0%. In 1939, the authorities escaped, but after an attack from 2 sides, the first being the German attack.
    • Hmm, and were they wanted to capture Kyiv in three days? Since middle of 2022, their run has been slow, so I don't think they'll be using any rapid maneuvers on the future. They surprised Ukraine at the very beginning on the war and were close to success. Zelenskyy only needed to flee the country in the first 2 or 3 days of the war. And Russia could have counted on this happening, because Zelenskyy wasn't an experienced politician or soldier and could have do however they wanted. In my opinion, Zelensky's role in Putin's plan ruined everything for them- he, as a populist and inexperienced man, was to escape from Kiev in the first few days of the war. Then Russia would have put in one of its own- Yanukovych? and Europe and the USA would probably have approved that.
    • Fortifications could only work for illegal immigrants but not against drones. We're wasting missiles worth millions of euro to shoot down drones worth 10k. It's anyone's guess how quickly Russians would reach Vistula River if the invasion came from two sides (Kaliningrad & Belarus). It would be days and not weeks...
    • Shocking news 😔 We just saw him competing 2 days ago in Annecy. 
    • Yes, and Ukraine is very important to Putin- far more important than the Baltic states, Georgia or even Poland. Without Ukraine, the restoration of the former USSR will be impossible for Putin. Another thing is that with pro-Russian Ukraine, Poland will have its entire eastern and northern border (Kaliningrad) with unfriendly countries except Lithuania, so it will basically have to militaries the all entire eastern part of Poland and build various fortifications there.
    • After all, it's one thing to dislike someone, even to destroy something (if it remains a rumor, which it usually is), and quite another to steal money... In the Italian national team there was the Wierer vs. Vittozzi conflict, in the polish team in Sochi 2014 there were accusations of various strange things: destroying a skies, rifle, etc., but theft is a serious crime, not just some rumors.
    • Stalin got Karelian Peninsula and Viborg and that was enough. Land invasion from Finland made no sense 60 yrs ago and makes even less sense in 2020s.   Finland isn't that important strategically even when it comes to Baltic Sea. U need to control Danish straits to control the Baltic. Warsaw Pact had an invasion plan of Denmark for this one reason.    Likewise Mediterranean Sea was no priority for Stalin. SU wasn't a naval power back in the day.
    • Exactly. It's not just Simon and her theft, there are other issues as well.
    • By the way, I did not follow the action, but there was another accident. "Jeanne Richard damaged her teammate Oceane Michelon's rifle. She was caught red-handed by Justine Braisaz-Bouchet." I do not know, if it was resolved somehow.
    • If Jeanmonnot and Brasaiz are against Simon, perhaps they should have dropped Simon to improve the team spirit. Especially since there was the possibility of dropping Simon for her bad behavior. One thing is conflicts like the Vittozzi-Wierer on Italy NT some times ago, but money theft within the team is quite another. Simon clearly has a serious problem with himself.
