Not sure what we can expect here, Our biggest hoepe Ivana Kmeťová is pregnant and will skip this season, thus we lost chance for a female representative in this sport, the other girls are still too young and inexperienced.

 

but I am interested in one name Lisa Maria Gamsjäger and how she will do in her debut at international senior level, this girl has a really interesting CV worth a Hollywood script.

 

She was born in Austria to Austrian father and Slovak mother, her father left them after her birth, she moved to Slovakia (Komárno) with her mother when she was 2 years old,

at 9 she watched Canoeing Slalom at the Olympics and decided to become a future star of this sport, but in Komárno they have only canoeing Sprint club and venue, so she accepted and started this sport, but seeing there more chances and financial funds of this sport in Hungary she moved to Gyor at 14 and started attending Hungarian school, at 15 received Hungarian citizenship and started competing for Hungary, won various medals at Juniors ad U23 Eurpean competitions in K2 & K4.

In 2019 after graduation she decided to end her career. the sport did no more entertaining her. she looked for a job and found one quickly, worked as a flight attendant in a large flying company. But in 2020 the coronavirus came and she lost her job...

Our M K4 head coach contacted her in summer and invited her to try to return to canoeing in our country again, so she agreed, restarted her career, trainings etc... and now ? well, last month she won the Slovak internal qualification for K1-200m women. and will try the Olympic qualifiers this week.

 

Obviously there no big chane of success, she does not have the speed and strength against other trained and established athletes, but why not in Paris 2024 ?

 

 

 

All in all, a quota from Szeged may be a bit hard to obtain, if you ask me to bet, I would say Matej Rusnák in M-C1 should be our biggest chance here though

well, or maybe not :lol: That was a pretty disappointing performance by Matej. I think it is safe to say, We are not going sadly to add anyone else to our canoeing sprint squad I am afraid.

 

Will be one of the smallest team in Tokyo composed only by mens Kayak and again as usual everything will turn around the K4...yeah, disappointing without M Canoe and any female representative, but what can we do, it is how it is :d

Is someone able to enlighten me how these qualifiers work? Especially what I should know from Polish perspective. It seems kinda confusing. 

:POL has entries in MK1 200/1000, WK1/WC2 500 and MK2 1000.

 

 

Winner of MK2 1000 gets the boat quota, as do the top two in WK1/WC2 500 and MK1 200/1000. However, nations in top two of both MK1 events only get 1000 quota; 200 quota passes on to highest-placed nation not qualified in the 1000. (Same goes for WK1 200/500.)

what are the chances of france in k1 1000 m?

close to 0...

 

looking at this morning's heats, DEN and BEL are a class apart...I'd be surprised if they don't fight for the top 2 places...

 

in the men's C1 1000m, instead, I hope Tacchini would eventually show all of his talent, after wasting the last few seasons because of the idiotic policy of our federation, who forced him to waste time and energy in the age competitions all year long instead of focusing on the truly important senior events...

When it says 1-2 to Tokyo it means that both first and second are qualified or that the first is qualified and the second might be??? 

in men's K1 1000m the first 2 are qualified...

 

you can see how many places in each event are available in post #6 in this same thread...

    • - Great Britain Team Size Prediction for Winter Olympic Games 2026 Milano Cortina   Ski Sports   Alpine Skiing  (4) - The qualification system is a bit confusing, but from what I gather the team is Guaranteed 2 quotas (one for each gender), and then more are given for rankings. I can only see 1 female qualifying, but the men's team is a bit stronger, and could improve with some juniors coming through. I would say a baseline of 3, with a max of 5, 6 if things really improve.  Cross Country Skiing  (3) - The men's team came 11th in the world cup last year, and with some good results could move up to top 10 which would give 3 quotas, The women's team is non existant.  Ski Jumping  (0) - Nope Nordic Combined  (0) - Nope Freestyle Skiing  (6) - Based on last year rankings, the athletes are ranked: M Moguls (26/30), M Ski Cross (26/32), M Halfpipe (33/25), M Slopestyle (39+40/30) W Moguls (23+42/30), W Halfpipe (3/25), W Big Air (5/30), W Slopestyle (19+22/30)  Barring Injury , thats 2 quotas on the women's side, and I would predict 4 more, with a max team of 7 or 8. Snowboarding  (2) - W Halfpipe (34/25) is the only unknown quota, as both Charlotte Bankes and Mia Brookes should qualify easily. Huw Nightlingale may get a spot for the Mixed Team snowboard cross but I don't know how it works. Biathlon  (0) - Nope Ski Mountaineering  (0) - Nope     Skating Sports   Speed Skating  (2) - Cornelius Kersten and Elia Smelding should qualify, although they both haven't competed this year. Short Track Speed Skating  (2) - A team of 5 went to the world but only a couple could really qualify Figure Skating  (4) - Fear and Gibson should qualify, and the pair team is ranked 16th in the world with 19 qualifiers.      Sleigh Sports   Luge  (0) - Nope Skeleton  (6) - A full team is certainly on the cards, but with only ranking points from the next season counting a lot could change Bobsleigh  (6) - Brad Hall and Co should qualify for both 2 and 4 man. I doubt any more will qualify from the mens side. Adele Nicholl on the womens should also qualify in both events     Team Sports   Curling  (12) - Anything but a full team would be a dissapointment Ice Hockey  (0) - The men were the only chance       Total Optimistic Prediction  -  (60) Total Pessimistic Prediction  - (32)   Total Realistic Prediction  -  (47)

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't.
