Mozambique defeats Sao Tome and Principe by 0.13 seconds in C2.  Heartbreaking.

 

Sao Tome and Principe were also 2nd in C1 1000m... Last chance is in 200m, but I'm not hopeful.

Looks like we have a reason why Sao Tome and Principe underperformed so much. Frustrating.

So unlucky, I think they are essentially guaranteed a tripartite quota. STP has always had good relations with the ICF and I can't think of a nation more deserving of one of the two spots.

I feel sorry for Sao Tome & Principe, it's just heartbreaking losing because of a sudden injury.

Today's qualifiers

 

Men's K1 200m - South Africa (they will not accept it according to their selection criteria so it should be Egypt)

Men's C1 200m - Tunisia

Women's K1 200m - Egypt

This would make for an interesting story, but unfortunately it seems it's impossible to find any more news about them except for their names..

This weekend the first part of the german world cup qualification races took place, the second part will take place on April 30th/May 1st.

Sebastian Brendel will try to win a quota place for Rio in mens C2 together with Erik Rebstock. They won the first qualification race ahead of Kretschmer/Müller.

Ronald Rauhe won mens K1 200 m ahead of Lemke and Liebscher. This is a pretty disappointing result for me, i thought that Liebscher would be stronger.

Mens C1 200 m was won by Kiraj ahead of Holtz and Nuck. Womens K1 200 m was won by Volz ahead of Kowald and Medert. 

Womens K1 500 m was won by Weber ahead of Hering and Medert. Mens C1 1000 m was won by Brendel ahead of Vandrey and Oeltze. 

Max Hoff won mens K1 1000 m ahead of Rendschmidt and Spenner.
