Xu Yanru

Chang Chu-Han

Looks to me like nations are very much encouraged to decline K1 places. After all, K1 places would go to arguably weak nations, while C1 reallocations would make the competition stronger...

The ICF released this pretty much helpful table: https://www.canoeicf.com/sites/default/files/canoe_slalom_quota_allocation_-_tokyo_2020_-_media_format.pdf

Test event was done his week-end in Japan and I was wondering why he's not there..did some news browsing and then..

Wow ! Joe Clarke the Olympic Champion in K1 will not defend his title. He lost the internal battle to Forbes-Cryan by 1 point!!

 

I was keeping tabs on GB selection for the first 2 selections and though that's it Clarke got it in the bag

 

Clarke 60 pts

Bowers 52 pts

Cryan 52 pts

 

So for the rest of the selection Clarke screwed badly...

 

The internal battles are cut-throat. What could be next? some sort of "Czech and mate"?

Well now this makes Pan American qualification interesting since and are all already qualified.  should be the favorite for the quota, but  and  will have outside chances.

If they want, both Brazil and the United States could still qualify in the K1 at the Pan American qualification.

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

Kind of weird decision by Andorra. I could see them getting a different K1 athlete, since basically everyone in Europe is already qualified, but nope.

 

Maybe France had something to do with it...
