The third continental qualification regatta for the 2024 Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games starts tomorrow in Chunju, Korea. 66 athletes from 20 countries will seek to get a quota and continue their journey to Paris for the World Rowing Regatta of the 2024 Continental Olympic and Paralympic Games in Asia and Oceania. There are 17 participants in the men's singles, of which only one participated in this class of boats at the 2023 World Rowing Championships. Some athletes will try to get a second qualification for the Olympic Games, such as Chris Nievares from the Philippines, Memo Memo from Indonesia or Shahboz Khalmurzaev from Uzbekistan, who won two silver medals at the recent Asian Games in China. Amel Younis from Palestine and Bakr al-Dulaimi from Iraq did participate in the 2023 World Rowing Championships and will strive to use this international racing experience to their advantage. There are 15 athletes participating in the women's singles. The name to pay attention to is Anna Prakaten from Uzbekistan – a former Russian athlete is the current Olympic silver medalist in this class of boats and should be the main favorite to receive a quota. Shiho Yonekawa from Japan, who finished right after A.Prakaten at the 2023 World Cup, will also strive to win. Wing Yan Winne Hung from Hong Kong will compete with these athletes to try to qualify for the Olympic Games again, as she did in 2021. Silver and bronze medalists of the 2022 Asian Games Arvind Singh and Arjun Lal Jat from India, as well as Shahzod Nurmatov and Sobirjon Safaroliev from Uzbekistan participate in the men's lightweight double. The Indians participated in this lineup in Tokyo, where they finished 11th and participated in their first A final at the World Rowing Cup in 2023. Uzbekistan is represented by experienced athletes who participated in the World Cup. There will be a hard fight in the women's two lightweight category competitions. The main contenders for victory are the national teams of Uzbekistan and Indonesia, which will have to compete with experienced crews from Vietnam and Japan. Besides them, athletes from Iran, who won silver medals at the Asian Games in the women's four pairs, will compete for victory.
