Not that we are better off, but at least the two quotas for us at this regatta kind of saved us from having an embarrassingly tiny team like we did in Tokyo.

You can only be in crisis if you have red and white on your flag. Since you have only white, almost there!

I'm happy and relieved we were able to get these two lightweight quotas! These crews really deserved it.   Also happy two of them are from my city (Fitsiou and Gkaidatzis)!   Great

Looking at sports as a whole (not just rowing in this case): isn't it basically the default for people from every country to think their country is being bad and will be disappointing? :lol: 

 

If all the negative comments I've seen people write about their own country came true, half of the Olympic medals wouldn't go to any country at all :p

What's funny is :CAN is legitimately on track for it's best summer Olympics since 1984, and it's best non-boycotted summer Olympics ever.

 

But this is also the worst the rowing team has ever been. This is the first time Canada has failed to qualify a male rower since 1900(!), when we simply didn't enter.

Well, I do not know about the others, but in Poland :POL it is the matter of the ROI in rowing, which is a fairly measurable and comparable quote.

 

So if you compare the cost of quotas for Poland: (only 2024, there are statistics for other years, but I do not have time now to dig deeper)

 

2,45M PLN for a quota in rowing

0,68M PLN for a quota in fencing (which was not a focus in Poland in the past years)

1,2M in sailing (which is MUCH more expensive when it comes to the equipment, training areas and so on)

0,95M kayak sports (both sprint and slalom - and we skip the fact that you could use the same athletes in multiple events) 

 

one sees it has become much more expensive to send a rowing athlete to the Olympics. I cannot find the respective data for i.e. 2019, but it was around 12-13M PLN for 20 athletes in Tokyo, which is around 0,6-0,7M PLN for a quota. The cost has then roughly quadrupled between Tokyo olympics and Paris.

 

This is also a POV on a "disastrous" results - surely not the only angle, but one that widens tne perspective.

Best in terms of medals, not so much in terms of the number of athletes…

I'm seeing the comments from fans :CAN:ITA:POL  complaining sad about their rowing delegations!

 

Since I'm Brazilian and I need to settle for one or at most two boats per Olympic Games! Could you think of a sport that is not developing at all here?

I’d have traded you our team size for your medal total.

      Fencing FIE World Cup 2024 - 2025

      I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.

      Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't.

      Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
