Its there now. She is up to 35th in the Road to Paris. If she can repeat her throw at Nationals, she would get +28 in overall ranking points.

It's on the AC rankings page however.

I guess we need a topic for  rowing fans to argue about who is in deeper crisis 

 

Not that we are better off, but at least the two quotas for us at this regatta kind of saved us from having an embarrassingly tiny team like we did in Tokyo.

You can only be in crisis if you have red and white on your flag. Since you have only white, almost there!

Ouch Poland's roast

Zero(!) male rowers in Paris. Hard to believe.

 

Hopefully some heads will roll at Rowing Canada

The whole organization needs to be gutted at this point. What an embarrassment.

And both miss out on a spot at Paris. Smallest rowing team ever?

What a disaster and embarrassment.

Canada will have 11 rowers in Paris, no Men. This is a country where rowing is one of its most successful sports. What a disaster. 

Rowing Canada has been having serious issues this quad with abuse, finances etc. If this is isn't a wake up call I don't know what is.

I am glad that they will both get to go to at least one Olympics

Both?

Abbreviated silver medal for Deguchi it seems. According to comments on the judogallery Instagram page, it looks like she was robbed. 

She lost because she got 3 warnings.

29 swimmers including Finlin, did MacNeil's coach make it to the team?

I wonder for what event? The mixed relay perhaps

Not sure how accurate it is, but according to a SwimSwam commentator, Devin Heroux told them that McIntosh isn’t tapered. 

Byron Macdonald also said she did 10 workouts in 6 days which meant she wasn't tapered.

Insane if correct.

I would assume the medal for Clareburt would be 400m IM not 200m IM. 

I'm going to gamble here and say McIntosh doesn't medal in the 400m free (sorry), and so Fairweather would be the likely beneficiary. The past two "taper meets" Fukuoka and the trials, she hasn't really performed that well, whereas she has improved in all of the others.

 

 

Mcintosh was not tapered for trials

What about Rylan wiens?

Already prequalified.

17 year old Julia Tunks with a 62.07 m throw in the discus today. Hoping she qualifies for Paris!

But you did say Sanoa still has a good chance at the podium right after contacting surf Canada right?

??

Gotta feel for Hungry, both women's 5x5 and 3x3 were the only teams not to win a quota out of the F4 and their group. So much for a hosting advantage.

Huge what’s the qualifying standard for her ?

64.00

Julia Tunks with a 62.07!! Not sure if that was in competition or not

Hoping they hire a mental coach and get that sorted.

If we substituted for (the team they beat) we would have the 5x5 Olympic qualifying group in the final 4.

It won't be easy to avoid being 4th here, but we are still in the game!

After all Poland is Canada's competitor for most 4th places 

just trashed to advance to the semis!

Final Olympic qualifiers:

Women's 4x finish third in the preliminary heat (top 3 were separated by a second or so)

The men's eight with a second place finish more than 4 seconds over third place Italy.
