Chinese fans are quite depressed about this even though receiving W8+ and W4- quotas already meeting expectation. Congrats by the way. Yeah, tell me about that. When I told my wife, she was not very happy about that :-D ...... Btw are you chinese citizen? I noticed by your name. I am from but I have lived in since 2015.

It's unfair to judge following others or leading with full speed is a better strategy after knowing the result. Sad but hope to receive reallocation quota since they both are the next best... Well, I don't think there will be many reallocations in rowing. There are not that many secured spots for so if they refuse, there will be reallocations but I suppose this counts mostly for single sculls or double sculls.

In an irony, as the women’s host quota couldn’t be awarded to any other Asian or Oceania nation, it will get reassigned to the next best competitor in the final qualifier, like they did in LW2x. And guess what? It goes back to Japan Kuwait's quota depends on which quota Iran picks (they'll get the opposite). That's because if Iran picks the men's quota then six nations will have taken a quota ( ) and 13th place Kuwait won't be eligible. This is similar to the Philippines and Thailand where they finished with a higher rank in a lightweight boat, but are not eligible due to three nations already qualifying. Regardless the women's single sculls host quota will be reallocated and as you mentioned it funnily goes back to Japan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be crazy in that case. Foester could've qualified but she stopped rowing midway through the race (though the Japanese girl was actually doing way better than I expected and very well may have finished above Foester regardless) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Japan could have saved the craziness by just taking the W1x and LW2x quotas and then keep the M1x host quota. Makedonas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Iran their choice only effects Kuwait (they will get the opposite gender). For Indonesia their choice effects Hong Kong and South Korea. If they pick LM2x then South Korea gets LW2x and Hong Kong gets W1x. If they pick LW2x then Hong Kong gets LM2x and South Korea gets W1x. Everyone else has their quota settled.

I just read that if Iran will chose W1X then it will open chance for Natan to have quota in M1X after all, but I don't know how accurate it is.
