So many potential medallists are left home each time. That's frustrating. Last time, Tony Estanguet (future gold medalist) had to eliminate the then reigning world champion during the french championship just to make the olympics Dear IOC, we want quotas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's stupid in any discipline really, there should at least be two per nation If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

De_Gambassi 896 Posted June 18, 2016 #34 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Juste maintenant , heywoodu a déclaré: It's just one per nation right? That's stupid in any discipline really, there should at least be two per nation Yes. Something like in cycling (mountain bike, BMX) would be a good start. If only, the top 4 or 5 nations in each event could field at least two boats, the all thing would feel a lot better. Not asking much here, I think.

That's stupid in any discipline really, there should at least be two per nation One per event is also the rule in sprint canoeing, rowing, sailing... (since forever) Don't see why would slalom canoeing be an excpetion, especially since sailing is much more competitive in terms of good crews per nation. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why I said it's stupid in any discipline/sport, not only in slalom canoeing I can get it in events with crews of 4 athletes, but in individual events (and a bit in events with 2 athletes) it's just plain stupid instead of making an Olympic gold medal the highest possible.

Canoe slalom used to have multiple entries by country up to 2004 (don't know what was the qualification process though). And for your last sentance, just have a look at the world championship results. Medals are usually spread among a very limited number of countries. Besides other sports have more events to spread their better athletes (to an extent). Edited June 18, 2016 by De_Gambassi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
