Yeah, very weird results, especially because our mens C2 1000 m and our mens K4 1000 m acutally failed to qualify ...

I just hope that we can keep those medals ...

Its nice to see that at least sprint canoeing is still working for Germany, considering that we can barely win a medal in really competitive sports.

Crazy to imagine what wouldve happend if our swimmers/track and field athletes wouldnt have drowned, 20 gold medals wouldve been more than possible.

It looks good in the medal table, but the results in cycling, swimming, athletics, fencing, judo, wrestling, taekwondo, canoeing slalom and rowing have been horrible.

A bit disappointing silver here must say...The expectations were one place higher. but fairly I have to admit that Germany had a very very strong boat crew here. Congrats they were unbeatable here...

 

well still waiting for this gold...

Barcelona 1992  4th (under Czechoslovakia but the K4 was completely composed of slovaks)

Sydney 2000  4th

Athens 2004 Bronze

Beijing 2008  Silver

London 2012 6th - it was a huge failure..

and now

Rio 2016 silver

thanks 2-2-0 is more than expected I predicted something between zero and six so 4 is on the higher part of this margin

and I nealy forgot... what a batlle between SVK and CZE ...it was one of the most thrilling thing in Rio for me

No comment on boys performances... New all-time low.

 

The girls on the other hand...

 

Danuta Kozák 5 times OC, the first ever kayaker to achieve that.

It seems someone know the Olympic rules better than me. Small countries can't win more than 3-4-5? medals...
