Wow what a finish from the :CZE men’s lightweight double to book their Olympic ticket :bowdown:

Yeah, that was incredible. :CZE Šimánek & Vraštil are known for their strong finish but when I saw them on 1500m, I was a bit loosing hope. But the finish was incredible. Also chinese crew kinda froze within last 200m.

I posted on the other thread but here’s all the quotas won today 

 

W2- :RUS:DEN 

W2x :RUS:GER 

W4- :IRL:CHN 

W1x :GRE:BLR 

W4x :AUS:FRA 

M4x :EST:RUS 

W8+ :CHN:ROU 
M8+ :NZL:ROU 
M2- :NED:DEN 

M2x :RUS:CZE 

M4- :RSA:CAN 

M1x :RUS:CAN 

LW2x :USA:SUI:IRL 

LM2x :CAN:CZE 

I am super happy for :CZE M2x .... Jakub Podrazil wanted to compete in M2x alongside Ondřej Synek (3 times Olympic medalist in M1x) but after unsuccessful ECH 2021 they broke up. So Podrazil made a crew with Jan Cincibuch who is "the second" single sculls competitor in Czech. Rowing together for less than a month, they successfully made it to Tokyo. That is really incredible story. Nobody would believe they would make if they asked when they started. Really great job!

Yes. Both Chinese LW2* and LM2* almost led 1900m but got surpassed at last 100m. Chinese fans are quite depressed about this even though receiving W8+ and W4- quotas already meeting expectation. Congrats by the way.

:CAN also qualified the most boats since Atlanta, which happened to be the most successful games for the sport (6 medals). If Canada comes anywhere close that number, that would be amazing!

 

You realize that Canada won only one bronze at the last worlds? Realistically even two medals would be an amazing result for Canada.

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

Do both those boats have the same coach? If so I bet it was the coach's idea to go fast all throughout. Both should have qualified.

I think it's their strategy. It's unfair to judge following others or leading with full speed is a better strategy after knowing the result. Sad but hope to receive reallocation quota since they both are the next best...

Oh yes. That is why during the olympics I rather focus on watching my favourite events than following closely all the Polish Team performance. It's much more entertaining this way and the mood is better.

 

But I must say Natan failing to qualify is my first serious disappointment. I haven't counted much on women's volleyball actually, so it wasn't such a surprise for me like today.

I just realized that Natan was so unlucky in those qualifications, he finished here third just few seconds away from quota, he couldn't compete in European qualifications due to rules (not fair for me) and he was first under line at World Championships....

 

Since Japan didn't used host quota here maybe there will be an reallocation and he would get quota either way since he was first underline in both main qualifiers. But I don't know if it will happen. Maybe anyone know it better? @intoronto @JoshMartini007 @dcro

Sadly, not the case here.

 

"Unused Host Country Place(s) will be reallocated to the NOC of the next highest placed boat in Single Sculls
in the respective gender at the Asia-Oceania Continental Qualification regatta that has not yet qualified a boat
for the Olympics at either the World Rowing Championships or the Continental Qualification regatta." 

 

Not sure if there are any boats left. If there isn't then only would :POL get the spot.

I think Kuwait gets the unused host quota in men’s single sculls, as they actually competed and finished 13th place at the Asian qualifiers, one position ahead of the Kuwaiti female rower (14th), who due to rules can’t take the spot.

 

In an irony, as the women’s host quota couldn’t be awarded to any other Asian or Oceania nation, it will get reassigned to the next best competitor in the final qualifier, like they did in LW2x.

And guess what? It goes back to Japan :lol:

    • https://www.gazzetta.it/Sport-Invernali/08-01-2025/biathlon-vittozzi-chiude-la-stagione-inutile-forzare-punto-ai-giochi.shtml   The case of Vittozzi's injury is very strange and I`m increasingly afraid of her form during the games. The press communication of the Italian federation was terrible all the time - the seriousness of Lisa's injury was constantly hidden and the problem was trivialized. Well, for us the biathlon season is basically over, in terms of hopes for the podium of the World Championships, World Cup etc. All that is left for us is to fight for 5th place in the Nations Cup and maintain 6 places in the World Cup for the next season.
    • Figure skater Aleksandr Korovin recently took his oath as a naturalised citizen of the Philippines. He will compete with Isabella Gamez in the pairs event at the upcoming Asian Winter Games.    
    • Posted my votes.    For the first time our small country has an athlete, who without a doubt should deserve best athlete of the year award. Without being too "cocky", Armand Duplantis is the only real threat to Tadej Pogačar.
    • And not at all by decades of neglect of fire hazards by incompetent Marxist politicians, no sirreee bob.  Everyone knows it is wind that causes fires, which is why we get so many in the north of Scotland.  
    • Southern California is currently experiencing one of the worst fire events in my lifetime caused by an extreme wind event 
    • Still deciding, but NHL, NFL, NBA, club volleyball (as usual), Gim-Kim in some Korean Curling event, GSOC WFG Masters, Women’s U18 World Championships, and the Australian Open for sure, Junior FIS World Championships, BWF Malaysia Masters, big air/slopestyle freestyle skiing and snowboarding/alpine snowboarding, other winter sports (Luge/bobsleigh/skeleton/alpine skiing), Speed Skating European Championships   Water Polo WC and Men’s Handball World Championships I’ll be following along with scores. 
    • Rams could well beat Vikings and this is a real coin toss. Sam Darnold's first playoff game and he looked bad vs Lions last weekend in the #1 seed decider already. This is one of these rare games when a wild card team has a much better record and the home team is the underdog on paper but Rams can pull this one off and it ends up being a "non-upset" upset.
    • For my predictions I’m assessing a number of factors into it. For example in the comeback category, I prioritize injuries/life or career threatening stuff over breaks. World Championships, World Cups (and similar stuff for sports that don’t have those) also factor into it.    BEST MALE ATHLETE for sportsmen in Olympic sports   #1:  Leon Marchand #2:  Armand Duplantis (3 WR’s in a year…) #3:  Teddy Riner   Odermatt not being nominated is unexpected.      BEST FEMALE ATHLETE for sportswomen in Olympic sports   #1:  Summer McIntosh #2:  Sifan Hassan #3:  Lisa Carrington     BEST NON-OLYMPIC ATHLETE for athletes in Non-Olympic sports and disciplines   #1:  Shohei Ohtani #2:  Patrick Mahomes #3:  Max Verstappen     BEST PARALYMPIC ATHLETE for athletes with a disability   #1: #2: #3:     BEST YOUTH ATHLETE for athletes up to 18 years old (born after January 1st, 2006) (including Olympic, Non-Olympic and Paralympic sports)   #1:  Summer McIntosh (again) #2:  Lamine Yamal #3:  Darja Varfolomeev     BEST MEN'S TEAM for national men's teams or groups (including Olympic, Non-Olympic and Paralympic sports)   #1:  basketball team #2:  waterpolo team #3:  volleyball team     BEST WOMEN'S TEAM for national women's teams or groups (including Olympic, Non-Olympic and Paralympic sports)   #1:  volleyball team #2:  handball team #3:  field hockey team   If I’m gonna be completely honest, after #1 and #2, I had a hard time choosing one because all four teams had their struggles…      BEST DOUBLES/PAIR OR MIXED TEAM for doubles and pairs or mixed teams and groups (including Olympic, Non-Olympic and Paralympic sports)   #1:  Caterina Banti/Tito Ruggeri #2:  David Åhman/Jonatan Hellvig #3:  Paul O’Donovan/Fintan McCarthy   I had to let out a laugh when I saw that  Duda/AP were nominated, because even though they won gold they were not on the same page at all through most of the season and went months on the Beach Pro Tour between May and July without a single medal      BREAKTHROUGH OF THE YEAR for the most improved athlete (aged 19 or over) or national team (including Olympic, Non-Olympic and Paralympic sports)   #1:  Adriana Ruano #2:  Jasmine Paolini #3:  Shinnosuke Oka   Again, some of the nominations are confusing to me.  Vaast is surfing at his home break in Tahiti and like a lot of sports that advantage is big,  Lafond had a best jump of 14.90m in 2023 and  Alfred was a medal contender in 2023 as well.    I would put  Joan-Benjamin Gaba up there, he came into the Olympics completely out of the medal mix and he won silver and beat Hifumi by ippon in the mixed team final     COMEBACK OF THE YEAR for athletes or national teams who made a comeback performance in 2024 (including Olympic, Non-Olympic and Paralympic sports)   #1:  Sunisa Lee #2:  Paula Badosa #3:  Kristof Milak     SPORT MOMENT OF THE YEAR for any sport moment from 2024   #1:  Djokovic finally winning an Olympic gold medal in men’s singles tennis (and none of the other choices come close for me, honestly) #2:  Letsile Tebogo’s gold in the men’s 200m, first ever gold for Botswana and he also beats evil Lyles in the process  #3:  Armand Duplantis’ gold and WR in men’s pole vault   I wasn’t a fan the opening ceremony, and I thought the general consensus was that most people on here didn’t like it either, so I’m not sure on how it got nominated but…  Also thought there would be at least one non-Olympic nomination, but I guess not.   OLYMPIC SPIRIT AWARD for athletes or teams related to the 2024 Summer Olympics or Paralympics who exemplify the spirit of sportsmanship in the Games or showed great determination in overcoming obstacles   #1:  Kinzang Lhamo crossing the marathon finish line #2:  Fariba Hashimi fulfilling her Olympic dream, having to hide her practices from her parents and the Taliban for doing a “boys’ activity” #3: Same thing for  Manizha Talash, I can’t imagine how hard that must be for them…   Honestly, this was a tough category. Besides Skotheim, who I very clearly think is last… I feel like it could go in any order.
