The Dutch federation wants fewer medals, but to increase the chance of more first places. That's why we now only have competitive boats in the W1x, W4x, M2x, M4x and M8. In my opinion a wrong choice, because in these five boats there are so many other top countries that you better participate in more boats and then settle for bronze or something. In the W1x Karolien Florijn is the reigning world champion, but the Australian Tara Rigney has almost passed her. The W4x is for China, the M2x for the Sinkovic brothers, the M4x for GB and the M8 too. So anyway a lot of silver and bronze for the Netherlands. I'd rather have 8x silver and bronze than 5x silver and bronze. I really don't understand the choice for these priority boats.
