Sprint Canoeing at the Summer Olympic Games 2020


Recommended Posts

Speaking of the two boats per race: at this point it's safe to say that only :HUN 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 :NED 's final medal table in cycling, for example

Is :CAN weak in women's C2? What happened in that heat? I thought that they are back to being the favorites after the drama of the last few years. 

 

This is now a huge opportunity for :CHN 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.

Yeah, :NZL is very dangerous in K4, our girls can't make any mistakes in the final. 

 

:BLR on the other hand continues to disappoint, which is good news for :POL  :GER  :DEN

    • After all, Trento is the capital of Alto Adige... For me personally Trento is nicer places than Bolzano, but I haven't been there for many years, so maybe I would have a different opinion now.

    • A comeback would absolutely be doable  - Joe Pavey, Mara Yamauci  & Georgia Hunter Bell all rejoined the sport very successfully after many years out with careers or family.
    • That's great, congratulations to both of you! I wish her a good recovery. 
    • This is not a full retirement, but kind of a break/sabbatical due to...reasons.    For those who have been following @brunamoura's journey towards and last February eventually, finally, at the Olympics, this might be an interesting update. The 2030 Olympics are still in her sight, but next year's world championships in February seem...unlikely.   She still needs to do at least two surgeries, one on her nasal cavities due to a chronic inflammation that has been bothering her for years, and one on her legs. In the Olympic season she struggled immensely with pain in her legs, which in the freestyle technique made her sometimes just not even able to move and therefore finish or even start the races. The Olympic 10k freestyle was hard and painful, but she managed to get through it. We knew she was dealing with compartment syndrome, which is quite serious and certainly needs to be dealt with surgically, but the recovery time for that meant that doing so during the season would likely jeopardize the Olympics - again.   The plan was to do the surgeries this year, but that's unlikely to happen now...    
    • My admittedly tiny sample at least made it feel like the safest and nicest place     Milan....I was very glad to be out of there, Bologna almost felt even worse, and I was also happy to leave Trento behind after barely a day there   Livigno didn't feel bad like that, the issue there is that Livigno people seem to believe the world outside of Livigno doesn't really exist.   Every time I have been in South Tyrol though, it always just felt...lovely, cozy, nice, friendly, and so on.   But obviously that is all a matter of opinion. Besides that I mostly went on statistics and Alto Adige generally scoring very high in things like quality of life and low crime rates  
    • Very interesting Article, not a lot of vast shocks in it, but great that she's found some happiness. She switched allegiance to Ireland from the US quietly a few years back, but I'd say the odds on her acting on it are pretty long - still, it maybe feels like a little statement of emancipation to herself, in which case, good on her.
    • That Kazda´s first goal was also something else
