intoronto 650 Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 Samoa just won the latest stop in the sevens series... meanwhile Canada finished dead last. Doesn't look good for Olympic qualification. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
intoronto 650 Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Oldershaw and Van Koeverden have both officially qualified now. Van Koeverden admitted to some medical issues last year during the Pan Am Games (and I would assume this was the case at the worlds as well). Good to see he is back to form!

Faster 545 Posted May 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 I have read through the ICF's regulations and the only thing like what your describing is that no country can qualify more then 2 athletes for C events through continental qualification. Is there an Americas specific thing or is it from Canoe/Kayak Canada? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Faster 545 Posted May 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 (edited) I just found this paragraph on Canoe/Kayak Canada's website In Men’s Canoe, a maximum of two additional quota spots can be earned. Depending on which events are qualified, assessments will go to World Cups to determine which event has the best international medal potential. So based on ICF and CKC it does look like Canada could qualify in the C1 200m and the C1 1000m. Edited May 21, 2016 by Faster Quote Link to post Share on other sites

According to the qualification document Canada can qualify only the C1 200 or C1 1000. They could have qualified also the C2 1000 as well (if one of the athletes in the boat also raced the C1 1000). However this has all been avoided as Oldershaw is the only one who qualified. ---- Canada beat Samoa today in rugby sevens Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You can only get two athlete quota places from the continentals. So Cuba has to return one of their quotas since they got 3. So either way redistribution should result in Canada getting a C1 200m.

Which is what I originally thought as well, BUT "Qualification in the same boat category over two distances at Continental Qualification Events At the Continental Qualification Events an NOC can only qualify one boat per category regardless of the distance (For example: K1 1000m and 200m or K2 1000m and 200m). Should the NOC qualify in both distances in the same boat category then the NOC will be attributed the place in 1000m for Men or 500m for Women. The unused athlete quota place in the 200m distance will be reattributed to the next best ranked NOC in that event, not yet qualified.: Source No K2 boat is disappointing for men... the women now can also start in the K4 500 event.

Faster 545 Posted May 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 The final volleyball qualifier starts today. Canada has a realistic chance of qualifying. France, Canada, Poland and Iran are the top four ranked teams but they have a hard start to the tournament against Poland and Iran. Hopefully going 1 for 2 in those games would be a great start. Venezuela and China should be wins. It is Australia and Japan that are going to be the really important games. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
intoronto 650 Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 1 point against Poland is not bad at all. --- Nestor is in his final tournament before end of Olympic qualification. Rn he needs 3 players (2 are on the same team) to lose at least one round before he does (all have made it to the third round). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
intoronto 650 Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 Canada will have 3 judokas (out of 8) ranked for the draws.., so hopefully a medal.

Faster 545 Posted May 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 (edited) Horrible lose to Iran in Volleyball. Up 2-0 and lost 3 straight sets.

Faster 545 Posted May 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 (edited) Cycling is complete Based on my reading of the qualification rules it finishes as follows: Road: Men's 3 in race, 1 in time trial Women's 3 in race, 2 in time trial (wikipedia says 1, but it is top 15 regardless of WC qualification) Track Men: 1 keiran Women: full team BMX Men: 1 Women: hahahahahah 0 Mountain Biking Men: 2 Women: 2 Total quotas 21, total athletes 19. Slight improvement over Beijing. Also Modern Pentathlon is finished and Canada added an addition quota. So 2 women, no men. Canada has one of the most female dominated teams for any of the major countries (those with over 250 athletes) Edited May 30, 2016 by Faster Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ofan 696 Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 Canada down 2-1 to Australia right now. Chances of qualifying are looking slim to none at this point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chateau Petrus 19 Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 With only one week to go before June 6th (deadline for the ATP and WTA ranking), Eugénie Bouchard, Milos Raonic and Vasek Pospisil are assured to be at Rio. For Beach Volleyball, the date is June 13th, We are now assured of the presence at Rio of two women team, Pavan-Bansley and Broder Valjas. For the men, only one team will get is ticket for Rio, Schalk-Saxton. Unfortunelly Binstock-Schachter with only one tournament to go (in Hambourg) won't be able to earn enough points to pass in front of the two german teams who got presentelly the two last places for Rio.

Faster 545 Posted May 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 If I am not mistaken, Canada could qualify a second men's team through either the continental or final Olympic qualifier. Russia and Netherlands got a 2nd team through this method last time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chateau Petrus 19 Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 You are right, via the June 13th ranking method, only 15 teams are selected. 8 others will be able to get their Rio ticket via a tournament in June. We have very good chance then to get our second men team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
intoronto 650 Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 One tournament left, so hopefully they qualify directly Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Faster 545 Posted June 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 Canada finally got a 3 point win and now plays France tonight. A win would put them in good position to qualify, given it would mean 10 points and I am thinking 12 is going to be necessary. Iran and China going 5 sets would also help, same with Australia and Japan doing the same. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
