intoronto 4,200 Posted March 12, 2021 #133 Share Posted March 12, 2021 In an upset, Laurence VINCENT-LAPOINTE (ie 6x world champion) has NOT been selected for the C-1 event, as she lost out to Katie Vincent in a 3 race series (she won the last two races). With the C-2 looking highly unlikely to qualify, probably the world's best female canoeist is not going to be in Tokyo. NearPup 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canada does hate winning gold medals at the Summer Olympics so it makes sense. konig 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"“We are so thrilled to see two of the best paddlers in the world racing together after such a long hiatus and a challenging period of time,” said Casey Wade, CKC Chief Executive Officer. “With respect to the women’s C2 500m event, we continue to work closely with the International Canoe Federation to secure an additional women’s canoe Olympic quota spot due to extenuating circumstances dating back to the 2019 World Championships. This will also allow us to have a second entry in the women’s C1 200m Event.” Is this new? Multiple entries in canoeing!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wade is probably citing the rule where athletes qualified in one event can compete in other events, but the one boat per event rule still applies.

For Tokyo they specifically changed the rules to allow up to two boats per nation. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W K1 200m: W K1 500m: W K2 500m: M C1 1000m: M C2 1000m: M K1 200m: M K1 1000m: M K2 1000m: Just by the looks of it, I don't think Canada will send more than 4 kayak in each discipline (based on how the internal qualifiers have gone). Who would be the backups in the two events Canada stands to gain quotas in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
