dcro 10,182 Posted October 12, 2019 #31 Share Posted October 12, 2019 I wonder if there's anyone left for Tripartite places? Maybe only Malawi? If so, then the organizers should expect some delays during heats/finals. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be max 3 To bump up African participation overall. Whatever, it’s very hard for African boats to qualify for the other events in rowing. It’s not like any single sculler with a legitimate medal chance is missing out because of this. Edited October 13, 2019 by NearPup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympian1010 7,479 Posted October 13, 2019 #35 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Also, as I pointed out during the African Beach and African Games, African rowing is having a bit of renaissance right now. The quality is getting a bit better, and there are plenty of nations fielding rowers. I think it’s good to reward that development. “Sport has the power to change the world.
