MHSN 3,148 Posted May 20, 2021 #11 Share Posted May 20, 2021 surprised that our guy Rezaei went toe to toe with European canoeists, finished 2nd (which is also the 2nd best result in all 3 heats and yes I know we can't compare time from different heats) and has to go through the semifinals why the hell they sent someone else to the Asian Qualifiers ?! it's impossible to qualify here with all these European athletes but Asian QT was at least possible for him (that Chinese guy was also too good though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcro 10,179 Posted May 21, 2021 #18 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Our largest canoeing delegation since Athens 2004. Back when the sport was less globally spread and when qualification was so much easier. In Rio we had nobody (sprint or slalom). hckošice 1 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hckošice 13,216 Posted May 21, 2021 #19 Share Posted May 21, 2021 From SVK view a really disappointing outcome, we will have the smallest delegation at the Olympics in history. only 5 quotas all M Kayak. trully embarassing, but well, what we can do ? at least all our athletes are really young and promising prospects, so let´s aim Paris 2024 rather. In Tokyo again everything will turn around the K4 then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phelps 6,769 Posted May 21, 2021 #20 Share Posted May 21, 2021 I'm truly disgusted! Schera (men's K1 1000m) was really unlucky...leading the race for 990 meters in adverse conditions (the top lanes were clearly more under the influence of the strong wind than the lower ones) and being overtaken just on the finish line like that is really, really painful... Fantini (women's 500m) was chanceless from the beginning, I'm even asking myself why wasting money to send not competitive people like our women to this kind of events... Tacchini (men's C1 1000m)...well, he's one of the biggest waste of talent in the Italian sport in the last 10 years...even if I shouldn't be surprised by the fact that our "C" specialists got worse and worse since our federation hired for a second stint Oreste Perri as the head coach of our NT...he only "understand" and cares about Kayak...
