Rowing at the Summer Olympic Games 2020

Stefanos Ntouskos said before the Games that he considered early retirement (he is 24) because he is studying (medicine I think) and he doesn't have real help, he cannot work like a professional, as other athletes from the other countries do. So he is quite an example, and hopefully he will keep fighting with more support now. Fantastic race!!! We are on the medal table at last!

1980, actually :banana: 

I think 1980 was also the last Games :GBR didn't win any gold medals in rowing. Men's eight is their last chance this time.

Rowing was held since 1900. There have been three Olympics where the US didn't participate (obviously 1980, but also two early ones), but other than those, they have always won at least one medal in every Olympics.

Excluding 1980, and 1908/1912 when they did not send any rowers to begin with, this will be the first time the American rowers failed to win any medals.

 

That is, unless they create a surprise in the men's eights.

1 medal favorite and 2 outsiders. None of them got a medal. Meanwhile the 4th boat that nobody counted on got the medal. I feel like I should be satisfied, but really the rowing has been a disappointment! :(

China losing gold medals in table tennis, badminton and weightlifting, Italy is potentially missing out on a gold in fencing, and now the US not winning any medals in rowing AND Great Britain maybe not winning any gold medals.... Please, Tokyo2020, spare us in Canoe Sprint. :d

    • Weightlifting formula is more or less similar to 2020 which was considered terrible by everybody!    this is a tough sport, you can't be in your best shape for too many events. there will be risks of serious injuries this way. with these rules you need 5 good results to qualify. if you bomb out in an event to score a zero you are out of the Olympics unless you replace it with another event. which means most of these poor guys have to participate in 7-8 events (and not just 5) to make up for possible bomb outs.    most importantly if you get injured anytime during this period (almost 2 years) you are out of the Olympics! that's how Sohrab Moradi missed the Tokyo Olympics despite breaking the WR during the qualification period. you can miss the Olympics in 2028 if you get injured late 2026 !  Karlos Nasar couldn't win the Olympic title if we had these rules in 2024   I understand 2024 qualification formula wasn't great either, it had its own flaws but this one is much worse for threatening athletes' health.

    • Off to Milan for the 145th session of the International Olympic Committee. Although the agenda has not been published yet, there shouldn’t be any major items over these two days, apart from the election of a member of the IOC Executive Board. This will be the eighth time the session is held in Italy, the last one being during the Turin 2006 Olympic Games.
