Men’s K1 1000m - / (x2)(x2)(x2)(x2)(x2)(x2)(x2)(x2)(x2) (Min. Entry: 16 / Max. Entry: 45) Men’s C2 1000m - / (Min. Entry: 13 / Max. Entry: 13) I can tell you immediately that no Italian would eventually double up... we'll only enter Burgo & Beccaro in the men's K2 1000m and Rizza in the men's K1 200m (plus Francesca Fenzo in the women's 200m, after winning her spot in the European qualifying regatta)... no extra efforts for our guys...

hckošice 13,240 Posted June 21, 2021 Author #212 Share Posted June 21, 2021 On 14/06/2021 at 14:46, hckošice said: crew of M K4-500 officially announced after todays "rainy" internal qualifier, hard luck for the young Csaba Zalka. so the crew is Samuel Baláž, Denis Myšák, Erik Vlček, Adam Botek Samuel Baláž & Adam Botek as announced will compete also in the M K2-1000m The name of the athlete who will compete in M K1-1000m is still not announced yet, our coaches will decide about it in the next hours/day(s) Erik Vlček by this became the new national record holder, Tokyo will be his 6th Olympics ! Any other Slovak athlete has competed in more than 5 Olympics (Summer or Winter) in history including the Czechoslovak era. Congrats Erik (2x Silver Beijing 2008 & Rio 2016, Bronze in Athens 2004, competed also in London 2012 & Sydney 2000) Denis Myšák will return to the Olympics after Rio 2016 (Silver in K4-1000m) Baláž & Botek will experience their olympic debut and in two events. For K1-1000m it is likely going to be a battle between Csaba Zalka or Peter Gelle (who won the quota but is in bad form actually), do not see anyone else who can steal that berth. The name should be announced soon and it is Peter Gelle. The NT coaches decided to give him a chance, since he won the quota himself at the 2019 World Champs. Hard luck for Csaba Zalka who miss the Olympics, but he is still very young and Paris is in 3 years. 3rd Olympics for Gelle. So team in Tokyo K1-1000m Peter Gelle K2-1000m Samuel Baláž/Adam Botek K4-500m Samuel Baláž/Denis Myšák/Erik Vlček/Adam Botek Benolympique and Jan Linha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympian1010 7,470 Posted July 7, 2021 #218 Share Posted July 7, 2021 has received a reallocation in WC1 200m. Source: https://www.canoeicf.com/news/canoe-sprint-history-set-be-made-tokyo-olympics ICF also claims in the article that there will be 32 entries in WC1 200m, and 14 entries in WC2 500m. I only had 13 entries in the WC2 500m in my qualification breakdown, so an NOC has received reallocation or two there I guess. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

intoronto 4,226 Posted July 8, 2021 #219 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Canoe Kayak Canada petitioned for an extra Olympic spot that would allow her to compete in the singles event and in the doubles with Vincent. But the International Olympic Committee still hasn't responded to the request. So, with the Tokyo Games now just over two weeks away, the Canadian governing body came up with a workaround that it revealed today: in the event that the IOC doesn't end up granting Vincent Lapointe the extra spot, Canada will reallocate one of its women's kayak berths to her for canoe — based on the determination that she has a better shot at gold than the kayaker it would have went to.

I mean tbh this always seemed like a pretty obvious thing to do assuming it’s allowed by the ICF / IOC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
