Brazil, Mexico and Cuba qualify in men's doubles. Brazil and Mexico will already have to choose. Venezuela/Ecuador and Venezuela/Paraguay are looking for reallocations. Venezuela is guaranteed to receive one of them, whatever happens. Also one of Ecuador/Paraguay will qualify, but not both.

Brazil, Cuba and Chile in women's doubles, but all of them will have to choose. El Salvador/Argentina/Uruguay in doubles and Argentina/Paraguay/Peru in singles have a chance for reallocation (ARG can't get both, of course, but they are the only one of these that is guaranteed a quota).

I think that all will choose LW2x. Probably no chance for El Salvador.

That would be so sad. :cry: Perhaps Escobar was too tired in this race after competing in single sculls too. What a stupid decision to compete in both events.

Assuming nations pick the higher ranked boat it looks like all three women's single sculls boats will be reallocated (poor El Salvador). For the men's things get complicated, with this assumption Brazil will pick their lightweight double sculls and the single sculls spot will go to Venezuela while Mexico will take its single sculls spot thus giving the lightweight double sculls spot to Chile. Chile however, finished fourth in both the single and lightweight double sculls boats.

 

Should Paraguay somehow fail to get one of the reallocation spots they will be the very heavy favourite to one of the tripartite spots. Should Paraguay qualify normally the tripartite spot will become more open with Honduras becoming the favourite in this region (Bolivia, Nicaragua and St. Vincent and the Grenadines are the only other eligible boats which competed here).
