Which wouldn’t really make sense. Both Evy and Ana are much better in both boats than anyone else,

 

True, but they may try to qualify it on the off-chance someone decides to outperform them and decline it if no one does. It probably won't happen, but they could.

:AND and :NZL picked K1 so the C1 quotas were reallocated to :FRA and :SLO

 

:AUS:BRA and :USA picked C1 so the K1 quotas were reallocated to :COK:CAN and :CHN

 

So our girls will have to fight :RUS:UKR  and :POL  in the W C1 for the only and sole eligible quota

Liam Jegou will represent :IRL in C1 

 

The place was secured by Robert Hendrick at the World Champs but Jegou has been selected on the basis of a 3 race series between our C1 paddlers

 

Press Release

 

Good for him and for Ireland as well. Liam is the current :IRL number 1 paddler, no doubts about, I can see him to battle for the final. The guy has actually more chances for something interesting in Tokyo than anyone else from Ireland in this sport.

For sure. I don't know what result Liam can expect in Tokyo but the qualification/selection criteria was well know and included the results from the World Championships so I don't think anyone can have too many complaints.

 

Hopefully Robert can continue to progress himself.  In 2014 Jegou won silver a the Junior World Champs while Hendrick won silver at the Youth Olympics.

Yes, well, I wouldn´t valuate the youth olympics medal too much, that BS "obstacle" head to head flat water competition on the youth olympics is far from the real canoeing slalom.

 

Jegou was always a pure talent, but seems to struggle on harder tracks, his main problem is the lack of stamina and endurance, he should to work more on his musculature, in other hand he has good technique and has enough dynamic strength to be really fast on shorter or easier tracks (like the Tokyo one) Personally I would not be surprised to see him in the final at all

    • A friend of mine who visited 97 countries of the world be in Turkmenistan (with Kunshamara, are the onlyones i know) and he tell me something that never see in another country: his presence was enough to make nervous to all the people, in restaurants, markets, etc, the presence of an "outsider" generate that.

    • Its a bit off top, but Turkmenistan also was only one country in the world without official case of covid 
    • In the USSR, when Stalin died, there was de-Stalinization but some of his monuments remained, although, for example, the names of cities were changed. I feel sorry for the people living in Turkmenistan or smiliar countries but what can be done? The USA could to introduce some civilized life in Afghanistan but this government was so weak that it fell a few weeks after the Americans left. It would probably be similar here.
    • I love to see more competitions but we had the highest level for 6 weights in Paris, non-Olympic events also needed a top tier competition for this year of 2024.   considering the fact that the IOC is shrinking the competition to just 16 per weight, it wouldn't that bad to have a full 10 weight competition for each style, giving the chance to everybody.   but we would see lots of big names not participating because of the Olympics (and the recovery time after that) so I think that was the best solution.    ps: if it was up to me entirely  I think 8 weights is good enough for men (6 is too less, 10 is too much) and all of them should be in the Olympics. but unfortunately it's up to King T. and his goons.
