This week, SASCOC (South African Olympic Commitee) decided that Tiffany Kruger, African Champion on the K1 200 at the African Games 2011 in Maputo (Mozambique), will be the second representative of her country at the London 2012 Summer Olympic Games, after Bridgitte Hartley, already qualified for the K1 500 after her performance at the Szeged World Campionships last year. On the other hand, no other paddler will be at the Olympics, so all hopes are gone for people like Greg Louw, Shaun Rubenstein, Nick Stubbs or Michael
Arthur.The social networks have seen comments on every side since last Tuesday's decision, as many people consider that Greg Louw, for instance, had a true chance after winning also the African title with 37 seconds, which is a very closed time to those entering the A final at the Worlds. He also, together with Shaun Rubenstein, Nick Stubbs and Michael Arthur, got a sixth position in the A final on the 4x200 relay in Szeged.
