PART 1: SELECTION OVERVIEW
National Team Objective: Rowing Canada aims to select athletes and crews to represent
Canada with the ability to achieve an ‘A’ Final (top 6) performance at their designated
Championships with a primary focus on Olympic & Paralympic boat classes.
PURPOSE
This document establishes the process and criteria to be used to select the 2021 Senior (Sr) National
Training Squad and nominate the 2021 Senior National Team. Invitation to the 2021 Sr National Training
Squad is a necessary precondition for nomination to the 2021 Sr National Team.
GOAL
The goal of the 2021 Sr National Team is to identify and develop a group of athletes with the potential to
compete at the 2021 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Tokyo, Japan, and the 2024 Olympic and
Paralympic Games, in Paris France.
As the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games have been postponed to the summer of 2021 it is imperative
that RCA’s High Performance program takes every advantage to develop athletes over a full 4 year
quadrennial leading up Paris 2024, while still properly preparing for Tokyo 2021.
OVERVIEW
This Selection Guidelines document was drafted and prepared by RCA and came into effect immediately
upon publication on the RCA website on September 18, 2020. RCA may also communicate and distribute
this Selection Guidelines to relevant athletes through other channels available to the athletes. RCA reserves
the right to amend this document for changes imposed by parties external to RCA or for changes that
become necessary due to typographical error or a lack of clarity in a definition or wording.
Any changes made by RCA are deemed to come into effect immediately upon publication on the RCA
website. Additional publication of the amended Selection Guidelines will be made by whatever means and
wherever the original Selection Guidelines was published.
OVERVIEW AND SCOPE
These Selection Guidelines are not to be mistaken with those for the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games
(now the 2021 Olympic and Paralympic Games). However, in accordance with the Selection Flowchart
(attached as Section 6) members of the 2021 Sr National Team may have up to two (2) opportunities to be
considered for entry to the 2021 Olympic and Paralympic Teams.
This Selection Guidelines document will be used to select athletes to the 2021 Sr National Team with the
goal of competing at one or multiple of the following events in 2021:
2021 World Cup 1 April 30 – May 2, Zagreb Croatia
2021 Final Paralympic Qualification Regatta May 7-9, Gavirate, ITA

Olympic Selection Camp – In accordance with the Performance Criteria and Other Criteria, the NTC Crew / Program coach has the discretion to nominate a high-performing athlete with supporting performance data to the High Performance Director for consideration of an invitation into the 2020 Olympic Selection Camp. Said athlete will then have an opportunity to participate in 2020 Olympic Selection Camp and have an opportunity to be nominated to the 2020 Olympic Team, along with all other members of the 2020 Olympic Selection Camp. 2. If a 2021 Senior National Team Squad crew finishes in the top 2 of non-qualified nations at the 2021 World Cups, RCA will nominate that crew to compete at the Final Olympic Qualification Regatta. Upon successfully achieving qualification at the Final Olympic Qualification Regatta, those athletes will be added to RCA’s 2020 Olympic Team. Note regarding Final Paralympic Qualification Regattas: Crews selected to the 2021 Sr National Team to compete at the 2021 World Cup 1 that finish within the Top 2 of non-qualified nations, will be nominated to compete at the Final Paralympic Qualification Regatta. If no World Cup Regatta, offering appropriate PARA events, is scheduled prior to the Final Paralympic Qualification Regatta, athletes will be required to achieve water speeds in Canada which demonstrate potential performance in order to be nominated to the Paralympic last chance qualification event.
