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

Just to show not everyone is in crisis, this is a record team for Ireland. In 2012 we had one rower qualified, in 2024 we have 7 boats and 16 rowers

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.

      The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.

      The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.

      The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR

      That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.

      How Many Medals do You Expect from Your Nation at the Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026？

      By JockCartier · Posted

      I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird

      So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,

      The rankings look likely to give two spots each in the men's side to Egypt (2nd athlete at 3) and GB (second athlete at 9). the nearest contender after that is France and both Egypt and GB have plenty of contenders after their respective number 2 but before France's umber 2   Women's side looks a bit more of a battle, with Egypt again likely to provide 2, and then a fight between USA, GBR and BEL for the other lucky double spot. That said, so dominant are the Egyptians, Americans and Brits, that failing to find all the contenders in the top 50 is entirely plausible, possibly opening a third 'double' spot.

      I'd done my final revisions on my prediction spreadsheets.. and I'm sticking with 26 for Canada.    Take it to the bank! (But don't sign anything)
