Just now, EselTheDonkey said:

Wasn't Japan already automatically qualified as a host?

From the official qualification document:

G.2.1 Where the Host Country obtains athlete quota places through the Global World Qualification Competition or the Asian Continental Qualification Competition, the unused Host Country Places will be reallocated to the next highest placed NOC, not yet qualified, in that event respectively from the Global World Qualification Competition or the Asian Continental Qualification Competition.

 

Which means that Russia is actually qualified, as dcro has described.

Absolutely insane that Tasiadis didn't even make the final. After this he would need a miracle to qualify for the olympics. It is very sad to see that a guy with his talent only won 1 olympic medal (so far). On the women's side Funk (who is already qualified for the olympics) only was the 3rd best german, i am not sure whether it was premature to already select her for the olympics ...

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

Canoe slalom used to have one of the simpler qualification systems... But this time it will be a total mess, because there are so many double starters in women's events. :facepalm:

 

Honestly, they should just ask the athletes to pick their one and only event. It could work as an additional gender equality policy, as male athletes don't exactly have the luxury of being able to compete in both classes...
