African and Oceanian spots are not confirmed at the Moment , there isnt anyone Who gained points in world cup events, without points the quota places Will be reallocated by ranking 

Being the favourite doesnt count anything ( if you arent Tsunoda or Abe) , Fabio Basile , Giulia Quintavalle , Maria Centracchio werent neither among the top 10 favourites and how did It finish???

Looking at sports as a whole (not just rowing in this case): isn't it basically the default for people from every country to think their country is being bad and will be disappointing?  
 
If all the negative comments I've seen people write about their own country came true, half of the Olympic medals wouldn't go to any country at all  

And now, italian users, please stop complain about everything , the athletes, the trainers are great in almost every sport, we have the strongest Olympic team ever considering all the disciplines without any doubts, we have qualified both 8 for the First time in history, today the only Little regrets is for Mumolo but iam sure he gave everything he had, one of the lightweight girls is always  ill and she cant train properly like a professional rower must train in last 2 years

DO  you really think that italian trainers are stupid..... If they came here with Rodini and Cesarini Is simply because in the test they did in these weeks It was the fastest combination, in european with Crosio and Rodini they were 15 metres behind Greece and without France it was clear they didnt have any chance to qualify the boat , sometimes we have to accept that the rivals are Simply Better, and in this case it was clear that the girls wouldnt had qualified the boat

I cant see hard times for Italy tò qualify for Olympics, softball and karate are not in he program anymore and It Will cost US a good Number of people, for the rest we Will add shortly 2 volleyball teams, many pass in athletics by ranking, at least 11 people in judo, probably 1 or 2 more in climbing, 2 in skateboard , 1 or 2 in breaking, 1 or 2 in table tennis, 2 or 3 in shooting, 4 in MTB, i Hope not less than 13 in rowing, chance also of 1 more in triathlon and modern pentathlon, probably 10 tennis players, some more swimmers ,we will go with many, many people, probably also too much

Per fare 3 pass doveva farli per ranking altrimenti  ha diritto  a 2 pass per sesso,  59 e 71 femminile  che sono anche  quelle in cui aveva fatto  pass per ranking. Comunque  non so chi abbia  aggiornato  Wikipedia  ma bisogna  aspettare  la scelta  della belga o l'eventuale  squalifica  della Konotop

Kaz got qouta after loosing to Korea in Asian championship final.

I expected more from Burgo , a finish place between 2 and 4, instead very well in canoe, Craciun with unexpected pass and he Will compete in C1 while Tacchini Will focus on C2, and very good news by Olympia Della Giustina

I think Burgo can do It, if not , he Will be very close

No, no changes are possibile for crews who qualify in Lucerna 

The only exception to this is a medical exemption, but you’re correct in general 

If he wants he can start also in C1, i dont think Craciun has chance to qualify, k2 500 was Impossible to qualify, Rizza Is a pure sprinter, he did for all his career only 200 race, for me they made a very good race today with 4th Place. Burgo in my opinion was the only italian with chance tò qualify for Paris but It wont be a surprise if he wont make finishing 3rd or fourth

We didnt give up anything, you can see It well in canoe where we never existed and now we have a very good C1 and C2, also in the 90es we relied on 2-3-4 ( Rossi, Bonomi, Scarpa) great champions but we never had a great team. In women we never existed ( i dont count Idem that Is a german athlete trained and grew up in Germany), now we have several girls that are doing well in juniores and under 23, we have to hope that at least 1 or 2 could become good also in senior, in last years we had Rizza but 200m that Is not olympic anymore, a good k2 1000 but Is not olympic anymore ( in sure that Burgo and Schera together would have been world and olympic finalists in k2 1000), and we have also to Remember that there are less and less quota places for sprint canoeing, its more difficult to qualify 

Toniolo and Tavano are already qualified for Olympics, Polling Will start fighting for Italy in Astana together with the Better placed in ranking between Pedrotti and Esposito Martina 

There were  only 3 pass in 49er, the african reallocation was only for developing Nations, so no pass for Italy and pass for Hong Kong

For Italy Gianmarco Tamberi ( athletics) and Arianna Errigo ( fencing)

What was embarrassing about the race? The times were definitely fine. Women's 200m and men's high jump, those were probably the lowest-level events of the day I'd say  

Great success for Miriam Vece: 2 QO in sprint and keirin 

Women keirin: Japan, Colombia, Australia, Belgium, France, Italy, Malaysia
 
Men individuale sprint: Trinidad, Suriname, Malaysia , Poland, Israel, Lithuania, South Africa

Poor form about what??? They  ride almost  the italian record,  in Paris  they  will be' able  to ride around 4.08 low or 4.07 high , it wont  be' enough  for gold,  bit they are definetely  very big medal contenders , there isnt  anything  to be' worried  about,  they will be focusing  on track in lastre 2 months  ( I hope also Balsamo will forget  the olympic road race)

the same as yesterday, I guess
