Also, sports like triathlon and pentathlon can have two athletes per NOC because they only have two individual events, not four like Canoe Slalom. It really is that simple. You can bet that IOC likes slalom canoe much more than pentathlon, the former is far more entertaining to watch and I am sure its ratings during the Games are much higher.

This is absolutely normal for like 90% of summer sports. There is simply not enough space for everyone within the 10,500 athletes maximum.

Multiple entries per NOC in slalom are not coming back... Ever. Deal with it.

 

And why should they? Just compare the results from Athens 2004 (the last time two entries per NOC were allowed), to Rio 2016. Limiting the number of entries per NOC quite literally allowed this sport to grow.

The sprint version is using the same venue as rowing, it will never be removed. And slalom canoe is visually interesting, and it's actually gaining events with the extreme slalom. There's no reason to think that it's in any danger, a discipline was never removed for being too European, and it never will. 

which is a farce like breakdance (maybe even more than that)...:facepalm: :wall:

From the little I have seen from it, it looks exciting and chaotic, which is probably what IOC wants more of at the Games.

I don't like extreme slalom for the same reason I don't really like short track, ski cross, snowboard cross and so on. Overtaking is nearly impossible (extreme slalom is an extreme case of this). And when it actually happens, 50% of the time it gets reversed/adjusted after the race. Ugh.

I'd rather turn my TV off than watching something like that...:hairpull:

 

it's something good for those Japanese crazy TV shows like Takheshi's Castle...

You joke now, but I am sure IOC would like to have an event like American Ninja Warrior at the Games if there was an opportunity for it. These weird sport competitions attract more viewers than most traditional sport events.

Nope ...

At the 2016 Olympics triathlon had clearly more athletes than slalom canoeing despite only having half the number of events. Also slalom canoeing only had slightly more athletes than modern pentathlon. At the Tokyo Olympics it will be the same. The truth is the IOC randomly decides that in some sports a nation can have 3 athletes per event and in other sports they can‘t. There is absolutely no reason why the Netherlands or Norway can have 3 athletes per event in speed skating/cross-country while nations can’t even have 2 athletes per event in slalom canoeing where no nation is remotely as dominant as the Netherlands/Norway are in speed skating/cross-country.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

      Maybe half of Americans, but pretty clearly zero members of the men’s team given how the past couple days have gone :/   (and none of them seemed to have any problems making their win very political and an occasion to express pretty blatant sexism)

      [OFF TOPIC] Eurovision Song Contest 2026

      By Gianlu33 · Posted

      Yesterday at 8.40pm, what Italians call “Sanremo Holy Week” began, ending very early at around 1.20am (with controversy attached, as this is finally the last year for this presenter). It wasn't a great edition, with no big favourite singers like Mengoni in 2024 or Giorgia in 2025 (who lost!). After the first evening, it looks like it's going to be a two-horse race, but surprises are just around the corner..   Serena Brancale - Qui con Me (26% winning chances, 2nd partecipation)   Fedez (3rd partecipation, one time runner-up) & Marco Masini (9th partecipation, 2004 champion) - Male Necessario (20% winning chances)

      Thanks for the amazing work on the spreadsheet. If my eye's read correctly you expect  to get a quota in Sprint (M) canoeing . This will be historic, if time permits could you elaborate a bit please. What are the chances we get to hold on to the quota place ? Is their a risk of missing out? Thanks! I don't follow canoeing much so had a hard time simulating the qualification scenarios. Thanks!
