I do not see them in any of the Semifinals for A/B. 13th ! they had to participate in Final C ! but it was cancelled because there was nobody else lol and there is 50% chance for Kuwait to have a quota in this sport by finishing last ! perfect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcro 10,179 Posted May 7, 2021 #23 Share Posted May 7, 2021 To be fair, this pandemic thing certainly prevent some nations from attending. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympian1010 7,477 Posted May 7, 2021 #24 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Rowing uses their single sculls event as a universality event. I don’t actually think it’s a bad idea. I think it’s led to the growth of the sport in some ways. We had like 10 nations compete in rowing at the African Games, and that’s pretty awesome. Pan American Games enjoyed a good participation rate too. sounak and dcro 2 “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Amazing rule I was surprised we lost the direct qual chance in LM2x by 0.18 second Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who was the person who thought about these rules someone who just cared about the number of NOCs in the Olympics ! I understand the logic about limiting countries in the continental qualifiers. it's not good to see a country winning all quotas in its continent. but still limiting each NOC to just 1 is terrible. it should be 60/70% of the quotas. in this case 3 or at least 2.

Tigercub 48 Posted May 7, 2021 #27 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Is Japan already assured of quotas in M1x and W1x as host nation? If so, are they still eligible to choose two boats from LM2x and LW2x? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The host quota is reallocated to the next highest ranked nation at this regatta. Unused Host Country Place(s) will be reallocated to the NOC of the next highest placed boat in Single Sculls in the respective gender at the Asia-Oceania Continental Qualification regatta that has not yet qualified a boat for the Olympics at either the World Rowing Championships or the Continental Qualification regatta.

So it does make sense for Japan to pick LM2X and LW2X since at the end they are guaranteed two singles quotas, right ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they will only be given the host quota if they failed to qualify any men's or women's boats. So what could happen is they could take the two men's or two women's boats and then take the host quota of the other gender. MHSN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
