Yeah Ivaldi miles better than Ceccon. Sorry, but this was a huge error from Italian federation. Interesting to see different internal qualifiers formats across different nations.

So Paolo Ceccon really hit the jackpot at the world champs with his bronze medal, He will represent in Paris C1 instead of Ivaldi... Strange decision from the federation. I mean the bronze was nice from Ceccon, but to be fair he did not show anything else so far in opposite of Raffello Ivaldi

Jessica Fox got a 50 in the semifinal, her team (parents) unoffical leaders of ICF Canoe Sllaom section immediatelly intervened, The 50 was removed and changed by a 2 seconds penalty. J. Fox back in the final... I can´t anymore. Counting the days when she will finally retire so this sport can re-clean 50 also for Eliška Mintálová, sad end of the season for her, but at least her Olympic quota is secured. In other side very Nice qualification for the final for Soňa Stanovská here

The biggest crowd support and cheers so far for Carole Bouzidi in this W K1 Semifinals

Also the finals will be with top 12 paddlers from the 24 members semifinals

Quite a fog at the start and upper part of the track

Definitely not out of reach yeah, that was really hilarious but also dangerous, thankfully everything ended well though

W K1 Heats Final Results (Top 24 Qualify for the Semifinals) I really like this track and venue. The atmosphere was amazing and it was only for the Heats. If this was just a small indicator then yes, Next year Olympics are going to be great.

M C1 Heats Final Results (Top 24 Qualify for the Semifinals)

My first thoughts about the Olympic venue are positive, I like the venue more than the last 2 from Tokyo and Rio. It finally bring me that more "natural" feeling than the more artficial ones we had in the last 2 Olympics, I like it more, the races are now more open and it help also different track courses setting options and better working with some eventual "trap" places. Interesting also that the ICF and organizers took this world cup stage as a Olympic first pre-test and changed even the rules to make them "Olympics" In fact we are using the classic Olympic format with best of 2 runs count in the heats, and in Sunday the Kayak-Cross will have also a new format with 1st round the morning followed by Repechages before the classic Last 16 round.QF, SF and so... Also super pleasantly surprised by the attendance, Huge crowd already for the Heats, something we did not see this whole year. Bravo The Heats are available on Youtube: Runs 1 for M C1 and W K1 here

I would sign for that anytime obviously, but this sport is so even currently, results are within second(s) that any mistake, any stronger wind while crossing a gate, any stronger or smaller change of water literally at any part of the piste during the run can make the difference, the track setting for the semifinals and finals itself may be a big factor as it can be more favorable for one or another type of paddlers (more technical type, more strength paddler, left handed, right handed especially in Cannoe events) + home advantage is and always will be a advantageous factor for local paddlers who will have more chances to learn about the water specifications. So all in all, predict anything in Canoe Slalom is a bit courageous, bold and highly .. let say speculative (but, yeah I would sign anytime for your prediction to happen )

Ah, yes, now it makes sense. Thanks for clarification

Never was my intention buddy, I Just because now when they invented this system, they could somehow at least tried to think about it 2 minutes more and you know improve it a bit or make it at least a little more logical

Yeah, IIHF is famous for many things, but definitely not for this one

and by the way, why exactly Paraguay ? I keep thinking about it and I can nott find a single reason why. It is like someone threw a blind dart at the map and hit somewhere next to Asuncion

1) I´ve already seen more dumber and much more stupid things to be fair, but yeah 2) I agree. They could organize let say half of the groups in S. America, the other in Europe. then the KO round with teams travelling the globe later in Europe. Only three games is nonsense and false alms to the poor in front of the audience 3) I agree. Hopefully FIFA and organizing Committee will build the schedule in order for at least the 6 involved teams will have a longer time between their matches from S. America and Europe/Morocco

I assume PAR/ARG/URU means 3 automatical free host places, so how will be the Conmebol qualifier this time organized ? I guess we will finally return to the qualifying groups like in the pre 1998 era

After canoe Sprint, Artistic Gymnastics is the second sport we just failed to qualify for the first time since the independence Sad for Barbora Mokošová, who wished and worked hard this year to start at her third olympics, but sadly, that fail in the UB did cost too much today. Oh well.
