The only other opportunity for qualification is in Lucerne next summer, before the Olympics, at the last Olympic Qualification Regatta. The only boats that the US did not qualify this year are all small boats: the M1x, LM2x, and LW2x. Going to a qualification regatta two months before the Games will probably lead to a stressful summer season for the athletes in those boats, and as much as it would be nice to see the US race in all 14 events, they are some of the most competitive events on the Games' program (not that there's such a thing as an "easy" event at the Olympics) . Congratulations to all the crews who qualified at Worlds (as well as to the W4-, M4+, LW1x sculler Jen Goldsack for winning gold, gold, and silver, respectively).
