September is going to be a busy month for me when it comes to watching sports🤣

Not a good Day 2 for Canada.

 

The Men's 2x was eliminated and will finish last, the Women's 4- will compete in Final B, and the Men's 4- will compete in Final C.

 

Only the Women's 1X advanced to the semifinals.

The lack of gold for Italy in M4X here will be a huge disappointment for me: we are the only ones here with an unchanged squad from Paris, the Netherlands are not there and the rest of the teams have 1-2 elements at most. For now, I think the Italians are holding back a bit, but I'm hoping for a full-fire run in final and a gold medal. We need to seize these opportunities when our opponents are weaker. 

 

In the women's W2-, unfortunately, Romania is out of reach, but silver/bronze are possibile for Italy. This should be a battle with France and the USA. Overall: two medals in Olympic events would be OK for us here, but it's important to win some gold, becouse we have a little number of gold this summer.

I could missed it but it looks like some new rule - when some spots in semi-finals and finals are determined by best times.
Good decision!

Fortunately the mighty Dutch have temporarly run out of bonbons, so these finals will be exciting to watch

The Netherlands was also a weaker in M4X in 2022, but then returned to the top in the following years.

They are usually weak 2 years after Olympics and then suddenly the "boosters" kick in. I'm talking about all their crews, not just M4x. Everybody knows what happens, but when you're born in the right part of Europe, some things are put aside

or, like GB they play around with the crews with an eye on making the best groupings for 2 years before when it really matters

 

but sure "boosters" is easier to explain away
