Josh 7,384 Posted May 22 #171 Share Posted May 22 (edited) I’m sorry, I like all of the Italian users on here, but I don’t get why they’re complaining? They sent 23 rowers to Tokyo, and now improve on that with 32 (still a number much higher than many other nations), and they’re still complaining? That’s a huge number, I’d gladly swap places with them with our 11 athletes Edited May 22 by Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is all still to be decided, but for a country like Italy medals are the only focus (or they should be anyway!) phelps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a couple of medal chances though, and it’s not like Italy is a rowing powerhouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshMartini007 2,336 Posted May 22 #174 Share Posted May 22 Athlete quotas can vary wildly in rowing depending on which boat qualifies. Here are the biggest winners and losers by number of boats vs. 2020 (ignoring Belarus/Russia). Winners +3 boats +3 boats +2 boats +2 boats +2 boats +2 boats Losers -8 boats -4 boats -3 boats -2 boats (might get tripartite quota) Everyone else either gained or lost one boat or had no change. avlar, Makedonas, Roamingrover86 and 1 other 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
