Speaking of the two boats per race: at this point it's safe to say that only  benefitted from this rule. I wouldn't be surprised if we got back to one boat per event for the next Games when only one country is taking full advantage of it, I assume the others aren't happy about that they are fighting two Hungarian boats while they can't qualify two boats for FA.

It's certainly not a unique case, in almost all sports there is a nation stronger than others that benefits from having the possibility of having more than one quota per event. 
I mean, we are 2-2-1 here, a joke compared to certain other results. I'm looking forward to the  's final medal table in cycling, for example

This is now a huge opportunity for  to win a gold.

It's much of a surprise to me too. However Katie Vincent look injured yesterday on c1 200 final....so maybe something is holding her back

What a race from Adolf against two (gold) medal contenders! He defeats Brendel, who now has to race again in the QF. Finally some signs of Hungarian life in men's canoe. It looks like our C2 boat really only failed because Fejes.
