The Latin America regatta will also be a good place for tripartite nations to make their case to be given one of the single sculls places. Overall we have Bermuda, Bolivia, Honduras and Paraguay competing in single sculls events. Bolivia will compete in only the men's while Bermuda will compete in only the women's. Paraguay will be the favourite to finish first among these nations and will probably end up winning either a men's or women's tripartite spot (assuming they don't qualify from this event)

That's a shame to do it like that, especially if that would mean the Olympic champions aren't the best in their class but only are lucky to not have to compete against stronger competitors. 

 

Two things: First, there is continental quota in only in 4 categories. Second, in singles there are 9 WCh quotas and 3 additional for Europe, the strongest continent. In Lwt doubles there are 11 WCh quotas and 2 additional for Europe. So, if you are european, you can qualify as long as you are among the best 12/13 in the world. We can't say the olympics haven't the best competitors.

No Heywoodu is responding to what I posted. Fisa is proposing countries can compete only 10 to 12 events mpving forward. Fisa has also proposed dropping one of the fours events for men and adding a women's event

It´s official Slovakia will try for a miracle:d and will enter the olympic qualification. Lukáš Babáč will start in the single sculls, He competed for the first time in this category this weekend in Zagreb during the Croatia open and he won, ofc the olympic regatta will be another coffee :lol: but cool that there at least something like a try :cheer:

 

and just btw a day before he won his "normal event" the lightweight single scull, it looks good for the world cup this season again:)

it seems that Bejik/Vaisc have power only for 1500m in this period,they were really great,but in last 500m it was on amateur level. I really don't remeber when we finished EC without medal, but maybe this is good.

    • In general, our picture for a little over 1 year until the home games looks like this:     - the women's sector is still based on one Lollo, who is 3 years older than 2022, - the women's and men's sprint sector is based on one Bosa and possibly the young Pergher (0% possobility for medal in 2026), - Ghiotto has made a lot of progress and that is a big plus. He could result to give our even 3 medals, including 1/2 gold. Our team's performance also depends to a large extent on Ghiotto's form, - the rest of the men's team is basically unchanged. There is Giovannoni in the mass start, there is Malfatti in the longer distances, but they are not competitors on the podium of a major event.   I will repeat myself: if Ghiotto continues to make such progress, we will probably win 3 medals, 2 of which gold and it will be a success. If something doesn`t work out, an injury, illness, etc. (we know from Vitozzi that this can happen to anyone), then it could be very bad. By the way, this also applies to other sports: the above-mentioned Vitozzi in biathlon, Goggia in downhill, Brignone in giant slalom, etc.
    • With the World Cup season in most of the winter sports about to begin and qualification in some sports already underway, I think it's about time for this thread.    Template    ...

    • Today is a day without Italians in the leads positions. I`m worried that they are not trying to revive this our sprint. There is only one Bosa and he is old. Pergher is young but she is also only one. It is a pity. After the Olympics they will probably 100% give up on the entire sprint. Our medal bag in Cortina will depend 90% on Ghiotto, just like it did on Fabris in Turin 2006. If Ghiotto will be in goodshape, he can even win 2 individual golds + a team medal. If not, it will be a flop. Apart from him, only Lollobrigida can compete in the mass start and possibly Giovannini in the men's mass start.
    • Yup, actually they have just some juniors pairs in the dance event 
    • In bed with the flu and few hours of sleep, but at least the insomnia will let me watch the first World Cup stage
    • The news then is that she has not yet been arrested? I suppose Camila when she returns to Italy will have a very unwelcome visit from the Guardia di Finanza.
