Sweden has given up to held this event. The new host is Porec, Croatia . From 19 to 23 May.

Eleni Chatziliadou  needs to qualify here. She won gold at the last World Championships (2018). She couldn't qualify from the ranking because she was injured. For us she is a big chance to win a medal in Tokyo, really hoping she can qualify but I'm nervous about her.

the last K1 event on WKF calendar in Morocco (for the Olympic ranking) is now replaced by K1 event in Portugal from 30 April to 2 May for the Olympic qualification

Jonathan Horne - 7642.5

Gogita Arkania - 7620

 

Arkania and Horne will fight for the 2nd place at the +84kg, whoever finishes higher will qualify for sure.

Ugur Aktas will decide everything here, Kvesic, Poursheib and Ganjzadeh can't do anything except watching Aktas !

 

======================

 

Women's 55kg:

Wen Tzu-Yun - 7110

Jana Messerschmidt - 6247.5

 

Messerschmidt can qualify only by winning the gold in Europe.

 

======================

Women's 68kg

Gong Li - 7402.5

Quirici has to win the gold to qualify

======================

 

Women's +68kg

Meltem Hocaoglu - 6097.5

Eleni Chatziliadou - 5355

with 742.5 pts gap between them. and knowing the Turks can add 30pts just by participating, Chatziliadou has to win the gold and hoping for Hocaoglu to get eliminated very very early.

Do you know what Aktas needs at the ECH to overtake Poursheib? A medal or? Probably less is sufficient. 
actually Croatia could cancel the event last second
