Entries by event for the Final Qualification Regatta

 

Sadly, and idiotically at the same time, no rowers for Mexico :( They could have had a slight chance in men’s single sculls and lightweight single sculls

LM1x isn't Olympic class

Italy is in big trouble...

 

we have a covid outbreak in our team, and it's just among the guys who were preparing for the Qualification Regatta (who are currently working apart from those who are already qualified to the games)...

 

the coaches say that 5 guys got infected, but now they are already negative and could start their training again, but of course this took a lot of time off to their preparation...

 

I fear that we won't have much success in Lucerne (we still have 5 boats to qualify, with women's Fours and men's Eight being the 2 we invested more on)...

So Greece will only sent three boats to Lucerne.

 

Anneta Kyridou is our best chance to qualify, but Klimovich and Foester will be tough. Small chance for Dymchenko as well, but I think the two quotas for W1X will be between Kyridou, Klimovich and Foester.

 

Anastasiadou/Fitsiou definitely have a chance in LW2X, but it will be tough. Especially since Nikolaidou is not fit in time to replace Fitsiou who is clearly the weakest link. Having three available quotas in this event definitely increases our chances, but there are so many other teams going for those spots so it will be tough.

 

Kalandaridis/Papakonstantinou is an interesting team for M2X. Kalandaridis was competing in M2- and Papakonstantinou in LM2X just last month. Obviously they didn't do too well with their partners, but both are young so now let's see how they do together. Not expecting anything though.

 

I'm disappointed that we didn't send a W2X. Nikolaidou not being fit probably ruined the chances (though she might've done lightweight anyways) and all of our other girls (Asoumanaki, Tsamopoulou, Christodoulidis etc) are basically in the US right now for college rowing. Tsamopoulou took the year off from school to prepare for the Olympics, but they wouldn't accept her in the national team. Makes no sense because she won gold at the last World U23 Championships in this event but whatever. Our 18 yo talent Evangelia Fragkou has been at training camps all year long with the Olympic team so I expected them to find a partner for her but I guess not.

 

 

I expect that Kyridou will qualify so we will send four rowers to Rio. A big disappointment after we sent 10 rowers to both London and Rio. And Ntouskos will be the only one returning from Rio...

Dymchenko was better in European Qualification and European Championship ?

The European Championship was very unbalanced. All of the best rowers were in the same semifinal.

 

At the European Qualification, Kyridou fell into the water a few minutes before the race, so that is why she did so poorly in the final and finished way behind the rest of the field. In the heats she dominated.

 

Let's not forget Kyridou won bronze at the 2020 European Championships at the young age of 21. She also won gold at the last two European U23 Championships, beating out Foester.

She has the same chances ? as Belarussian , Kyridou and German . In European Championship Final A she was tired. And who is Anna Prakhatsen? Doping girl?

I don't know much about Prakhatsen until last month really. I didn't know her before then but she is doing very well.

:POL team for Lucerne:

 

Men's single sculls: Natan Węgrzycki Szymczyk

Men's coxless pair: Łukasz Posyłajka, Damian Józefowicz

Women's lightweight double sculls: Jaclyn Stelmaszyk, Weronika Deresz

 

Too bad that we will not send anyone in both womens double sculls and coxless pair...

    • I'll post significant changes periodically. I'll start with the recently added/updated documents.   Archery The addition of mixed compound (12M & 12W) forced a reduction on the recurve side. The mixed compound quotas are distributed as follows   Host - 1 World Championships - 3 Continental Games - 5 World Ranking List - 2 Final Qualifier - 1   To compensate the team events will now only have 8 nations. 2 quotas were removed from the World Ranking List and 2 were removed from the Final Qualifier.   Individual recurve and mixed recurve distribution is the same
    • In Rome, it would be useful to roof the swimming pool complex at Foro Italico, possibly with the option of retracting the roof and covering the tennis court complex. Overall, there's a lot to do, for example, compared to Budapest, but unfortunately, this is Italy How many years has Roma been building their new stadium, and they keep pushing back the completion date- now I read it's 2030? and it should be ready. The same goes for Milan- there should be a modern complex of indoor swimming pools with 50 meters pools, etc., but there's a problem with one stupid football stadium, which will only be built after an ultimatum from UEFA

    • https://nypost.com/2026/01/31/sports/team-canada-skeleton-coach-joe-cecchini-speaks-out-after-american-katie-uhlaender-manipulation-claim/   Oh the drama....   Cecchini: “I don’t really wanna speak negatively about Katie, but Katie was not on the World Cup team. She wasn’t a top-tier athlete in that program anymore. She was at the end of her career. I would personally would rather race against Katie. She’s not as competitive as the other athletes,” he said. “It’s probably really unfair to say and not really where I want to go with this but that’s where we are with that.”   Uhlaender: “If I were Canada, I would be concerned in how this coach is representing the Olympic values for his country,” Uhlaender told Fox News Digital. “He hurt a whole field of athletes, all with dreams, and this sends the message that they don’t matter unless they are number one. All athletes matter, and we all deserve to compete fairly, with integrity, and respect. He did not respect anyone in that field. “This is not about my resume or how good the athletes were in the race. This is about the fact that he intentionally manipulated the competition to hurt myself and 13 other countries because he felt it necessary to eliminate all possibility. That is against the spirit of sport and not what the Olympic movement represents.”   Isn't it great when other people's dirty laundry is aired?  /sarcasm     (I was a little surprised to see NPR pick this up, but per this article, Uhlaender preemptively recorded the phone call after receiving a text from Cecchini that said he had 'bad news' for her.)
