João Tomasini Schwertner, President of the Pan American Canoe Federation (COPAC) has passed away due to Covid-19. In 2019 he was polite to have a chat with me about the 2019 Pan Am Games and the qualification system.

 

RIP João :(

Probably you all arent aware of the storm that is happening at the spanish canoeing team.

 

The federation decided to hold trials for the olympic K4 event, and only invited 6 athletes to take part on it. The trials were last week by they were so obviously tampered by Saul Craviotto (several olympic medallists) and Carlos Arevalo, to benefit their friends Marcus Walz and Rodrigo Germade made the team with them, that the federation had to repeat the trials this week.

 

Obiously the federation wants Sauk Craviotto happy since it's a very popular in Spain and want that press in the games. Even the "coach/boss" of the K4 boat and who is in charge of the selecction is Miguel García, Craviotto's coach.

 

The trials were due to celebrate this weekend, but the two affected canoeist Carlos Garrote (2020 world champ) and Cristian Toro (2016 olympic champ) had left the trials and would not compete.

Garrote claims that has audios that prove that Saul Craviotto and the K4 coach Miguel Garcia tampered the trial to benefit Saul's friends. And Saul Craviotto's attorney's are threating to sue Carlos Garrote.

 

This is a mess.

Hungary and Poland are hosting 99 % of all important competitions ... 

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

The Hungarian Olympic Trials will start tomorrow. Out of the 17 spots for Hungary, only 4 are already decided:

 

Men's C2 1000m - Balázs Adolf, Dániel Fejes

Women's C2 500m - Virág Balla, Kincső Takács

 

For the rest of the events, apart from K4, here are the scheduled finals:

 

May 28

17:25 Women's K1 500m

 

May 29

17:05 Men's K1 200m

17:15 Women's K2 500m

17:25 Men's K1 1000m

17:35 Women's C1 200m

 

May 30

15:15 Men's K2 1000m

15:35 Women's K1 200m

 

We have to fill boats in Men's K2 1000m, Men's K4 500m, Women's K1 200m, Women's K1 500m, Women's K4 500m, Women's C1 200m. Don't ask me what the actual process is here because I have no idea, I couldn't find anything. My guess is that the winners of these races will qualify for Tokyo and then we will fill the K4 boats. 

 

Women's K1 500m will be a bloodbath, it won't be easy for Kozák to qualify for the third time in this event.

Danuta Kozák and Tamara Csipes were the Top2 in women's K1 500m at the Hungarian Trials, and Hüttner declared that both will compete in this event at the Summer Games. It looks like Hungary will submit two boats in some events.

Big upset at the Hungarian trials, Ádám Varga defeated World champion Bálint Kopasz in MK1 1000m. Varga is officially in the Olympic team, and I would be surprised if Kopasz won't find his way into the team, I think both will compete in this event at the Games.

    • Congrats Diggins, well deserved! 👏   Too bad she fell on the last lap in the last race (as well as Karlsson also did x2).   For the future I would really like them to remove the bonus sprint points suring the race that almost makes more importance to the overall standings than the positions over the finish line. And get back to the same point system as the other FIS events. 30 gets points instead on 50, and 100-80-60... instead of this system. in this case Diggins deserves it and Sweden who of different reasons have missed pets of the season On purpose or not, does not deserve it. But it as it is now it may take 20 wins to catch up for one missed race (if the opponent is 2nd in each). Dahlqvist won the sprint cup without any individual wins (3rd overall) is one example of that.    There must be room to miss a race of any reason. If not, it Will not make people race more events, instead it might make skoters who already missed one weekend feel they are already too far behind so they light as well take less priority on the rest of the World cup season. Also skiiers who in Norway for example would be good enough for a top3 in the overall might not even be selected for many races due to the internal competition. Same for a skiier like Ebba Andersson who most likely would not qualify if she would be selected to go a sprint race. But she would still get a few points probably for rk 31-50, but because she would not make it in to the Swedish sprint team she Will lose a lot even compared to those who fail the sprint qualifications. Frida Karlsson another example, she would also probably have qualified most of the times but is most often not good enough to make the team. With more award to winning and making podiums and also less athletes scoring that would make it better I think. The scoring system in biathlon got some critics when they decided you have to count all races, but they at least increased the value of top positions meaning you could faster catch up a bad race/missed race, by a few podiums.
    • Great to see O’Connor on the podium again! Thats 4 major medals in the past 12 months (World Indoors x 2, Euro Indoors and World Championships).   Her strongest event is the javelin so she is going to continue to be a huge threat in the heptathlon this summer and she is still improving all the other events. Exciting times for her  
    • Congrats to Diggins winning the WC in her final season 
    • Call me mad, but it feels very strange to have made it all the way through a major championships without hearing how the results were going to lead to a slashing of funding for  sport.  
    • Only Fabbri from Italy has disappointed and that's a bit concerning... In 3 of the last 4 major events (OG and 2x Indoor World Champ), he's performed significantly worse than he did on the entire season – he took bronze at the 2025 World Championships, but his result was also nothing special. His performance today is completely incomprehensible  (
