Amazing race by Tasiadis in 2nd heat :bowdown:

 

so the C1 Heats are over.

 

only :CAN:BRA:ARG:SEN and :LIB are out

 

overall results of the heats https://www.rio2016.com/en/canoe-slalom-canoe-single-c1-men-heats-2nd-run

 

 

Tasiadis is my favorite for gold, i think Pfeifer could also win gold in womens k1, i dont expect anything in mens k1 and mens c2 is unpredictable for me, although Anton/Benzien are the current world champions.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

In other hand your C2 was great today. For me they are the top contenders for gold here

Well at least one good news :lol: We'll see what happens :) :fingers:

Good luck to Slovakia too in these events! :SVK

It's shocking. Italy wins both K1 heats. @hckosice you are a great expert of canoa slalom, do you think that we'll have a medal chance?

 

Well at first you have to keep in mind that the course will be changed for the semis and finals. This course in heats wasn´t specially hard, but I assume for the finals we will have much more difficult one.

at second also keep in mind many athletes from top nations didn´t raced at full gaz untill the end, I saw many of them stoped paddling some meters to go as the qualifiying criterias were too easy if you ask me, for example from 12 boats in C2 only 1 has been eliminated and 11 advanced lol ...

 

But also the fact is that De Gennaro yesterday and especially Stefania Horn today really  performed a nearly perfect race. They look very well prepared physically. Stefania was very strong in her race. each her paddle looked so easy

 

and Italy is just incredible during those days so I´ll not be surprised at all if you will medal :d

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
