What a race! 
 

And so ends the final chapter for M C2 1000m…

I don't know much about ICF, but they must be known as absolutely horrible? I mean, is this event not exciting enough? One of the best finals of the entire Olympics..

It will be replaced with the C2 500

Oh what a final! :hyper: 

 

This becoming a 500m is disgusting (after being an Olympic event since 1936!), this was awesome...

 

It makes you wonder why on Earth they are making all these changes? Unlike skateboarding and break dance there's zero chance Next Gen kids will watch canoeing IMO. Another case when the chase for mythical new fans will be a total failure IMO. We all know the TikTok generation doesn't give a damn about tradition.

ICF believes that people are bored by longer distances. Which is bullshit, this sport should be about endurance, 1000m should be the standard distance like 2000m in rowing.

But those 13 year old kids won't watch this and you know, the Olympic Games will DIE without those kids. That's the chief excuse I hear. Wait until e-sports becomes an Olympic sport - like a tetris online or something.

    • 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
