For part 2 of this little project, I’ll be listing the events by competition groups (2 at a time based on order of events at the Games) because the competition scheduling can actually effect a country’s ability to enter an event in some cases.

 

Men’s K1 1000m - :CZE:POR:SVK:RUS:BLR:FRA:ARG:SRB:TUN:BRA:IRI:BEL:NOR:COK:CHN:BIZ / :GER(x2):ESP(x2):RUS(x2):HUN(x2):AUS(x2):CAN(x2):JPN(x2):ITA(x2):NZL(x2):SVK:POR:BLR:FRA:CHN:CZE:ARG:SRB:GBR:SWE:EGY:KOR:SAM:LAT:LTU   (Min. Entry: 16 / Max. Entry: 45)

 

Men’s C2 1000m - :CHN:CUB:BRA:GER:ROU:POL:RUS:UKR:CZE:STP:CAN:KAZ:HUN /   (Min. Entry: 13 / Max. Entry: 13)

I can tell you immediately that no Italian would eventually double up...

we'll only enter Burgo & Beccaro in the men's K2 1000m and Rizza in the men's K1 200m (plus Francesca Fenzo in the women's 200m, after winning her spot in the European qualifying regatta)...

no extra efforts for our guys...

:SVK crew of M K4-500 officially announced after todays "rainy" internal qualifier, hard luck for the young Csaba Zalka.

 

so the crew is

 

Samuel Baláž, Denis Myšák, Erik Vlček, Adam Botek

Samuel Baláž & Adam Botek as announced will compete also in the M K2-1000m

The name of the athlete who will compete in M K1-1000m is still not announced yet, our coaches will decide about it in the next hours/day(s)

 

Erik Vlček by this became the new :SVK national record holder, Tokyo will be his 6th Olympics ! Any other Slovak athlete has competed in more than 5 Olympics (Summer or Winter) in history including the Czechoslovak era. Congrats Erik

(2x Silver Beijing 2008 & Rio 2016, Bronze in Athens 2004, competed also in London 2012 & Sydney 2000)

 

Denis Myšák will return to the Olympics after Rio 2016 (Silver in K4-1000m)

 

Baláž & Botek will experience their olympic debut and in two events.

 

 

For K1-1000m it is likely going to be a battle between Csaba Zalka or Peter Gelle (who won the quota but is in bad form actually), do not see anyone else who can steal that berth. The name should be announced soon

 

 

and it is Peter Gelle.

 

The NT coaches decided to give him a chance, since he won the quota himself at the 2019 World Champs. Hard luck for Csaba Zalka who miss the Olympics, but he is still very young and Paris is in 3 years.

 

3rd Olympics for Gelle.

 

So :SVK team in Tokyo

K1-1000m  Peter Gelle

K2-1000m Samuel Baláž/Adam Botek

K4-500m Samuel Baláž/Denis Myšák/Erik Vlček/Adam Botek

:GBR has received a reallocation in WC1 200m.

 

Source: https://www.canoeicf.com/news/canoe-sprint-history-set-be-made-tokyo-olympics

 

ICF also claims in the article that there will be 32 entries in WC1 200m, and 14 entries in WC2 500m. I only had 13 entries in the WC2 500m in my qualification breakdown, so an NOC has received reallocation or two there I guess.

Canoe Kayak Canada petitioned for an extra Olympic spot that would allow her to compete in the singles event and in the doubles with Vincent. But the International Olympic Committee still hasn't responded to the request. So, with the Tokyo Games now just over two weeks away, the Canadian governing body came up with a workaround that it revealed today: in the event that the IOC doesn't end up granting Vincent Lapointe the extra spot, Canada will reallocate one of its women's kayak berths to her for canoe — based on the determination that she has a better shot at gold than the kayaker it would have went to.

 

:facepalm:

I mean tbh this always seemed like a pretty obvious thing to do assuming it’s allowed by the ICF / IOC.

    • 2 things...   first, for what concerns the cooperation between inline skating and speedskating federations...sorry to disppoint some of you, but there's a great cooperation between them   the point is that many "summer" skaters just don't want to try the ice because they have too much to give up for that   you name places like Collalbo or Baselga, but for the "summer skating" guys from centeral and southern regions it's not an option, it's not that they make it for a living with those disciplines, they have to focus on their studies and build a post-competitive sport career and they just can't place themselves into a hole in the mountains when they maybe are studying in some prestigious universities in the big cities   as I already posted more than once, the idea of covering one of those tracks in the mountains was something idiotic, a political concession impossible to be sustained   the one and only chance to build a true legacy and an efficient, attractive national training center was to build a permanent indoor oval in Milan, beside the Forum   that would have given all the "summer skaters" a true opportunity to try the ice experience and at the same time find the most useful, attractive, prestigious places to continue their studies and try and manage them together with their sports career   any other place wouldn't stand a chance   second...don't give Salvini any credit he doesn't deserve...actually, I think he doesn't even know that in Cortina there's a sliding sports track    it's not thanks to him that the Cortina track's building finally went underway 
    • c'mon, guys! relax! sciallatevi un po'!    you're making me sick...it's just the season start and this is a sport where only the world championship (and Olympic, in the specific years) medals count   don't get mad for a couple of races held thousend miles away from home after the team had already passed their first climax (the internal selection)...there are still 2 full seasons before the Olympics
    • Super Round Results   21/11    b.   2-0  b.   9-1   22/11    b.   8-2  b.   9-6   nothing is decided yet, all teams still have a thoretical chance to make the Gold Medal match   Tomorrow, the last day of the Super Round sees  facing the  at Noon local time (4 a.m. CET) and  facing  at 7 p.m. local time (11 a.m. CET)   the medal games are scheduled for Sunday, BMM at Noon local, GMM at 7 p.m. local
    • very poor performance by the US bullpen both Yesterday and Today    not very impressed by this US team for the entire tournament, also in the Mexican first group (Panama deserved to qualify more than them, but they were lucky with the draw and won the decisive direct matchup)   Venezuela confirmed themselves as a very strong team at bat, but with too many troubles on the mound   Today against Japan they had to make a pitching change already in the 1st inning and basically they had to go for a bullpen game, but it didn't come out like the Dodgers'   Japan always on top of their game, even when the pitching staff doesn't perform at best...frankly, they look more and more unbeatable when no MLB superstar is involved (like in this case), but also when it comes down to the top of the pops it's not that they look worse (see 2023 WBC)  there's a serious risk that their domination becomes even too easy, the gap between them and the rest of the world is widening year after year   Taiwan might look like a surprise, but after the 2023 fail, I was sure they were going to rebound and establish themselves among the top teams in the WBSC tournaments, as they are very good in each and every aspect of the game (batting, pitching...maybe a bit less on defense, but you can't have it all)
