It's in the qualification document

Thank you for that. Wow, I didn't know. Will be interesting to see what happens with Greece. We have already qualified in the women's pair, and have big chances to qualify in the men's and women's single sculls, as well as the women's lightweight double sculls. Too bad that we can only pick one crew, but hopefully the others can qualify in May in Lucerne.

 

Anneta Kyridou would probably be chosen if she finishes first in the women's single sculls, as she won bronze at last year's European Championship as a 21 year old and also gold at the last two European U23 Championships and gold at the last World U23 Championships. However, she is currently involved in a highly publicized lawsuit against the federation so that might play a role and Stefanos Ntouskos could get chosen instead, which would also be a good choice.

Interesting, why France doesn't participate? They are already preparing for World OQT?

It was mentioned in previous page from FISA document:

The Continental Qualification Regattas are open only to those NOCs that have qualified in only one event or have not qualified in any events at the 2019 World Rowing Championships.

I think Greece is a safe bet to qualify a boat here.

 

Anneta Kyridou won bronze last year at the European Championships. She also won gold at the European U23 Championships in 2020 (and also in 2019).

 

Stefanos Ntouskos and Evangelia Anastasiadou/Zoi Fitsiou also have really good chances here. It's too bad that only one boat will be able to qualify from Varese in the end, but hopefully the other two can make it in Lucerne.
