Ashley Nee and Devin McEwan Grabs Olympic Spots at US Slalom Canoe Olympic Trials

Two Olympic spots were up for grabs this weekend as it turned out there wasn’t much drama in the final results on Sunday. In the women’s K1 Ashley Nee didn’t even need to finish ahead of Dana Mann this weekend. She could advance by finishing second and tying Mann. Need needed that tiebreaker as she did finish shortly behind Mann this weekend and finished in an overall tie for points between the two slalom trial events.

In the men’s C2 Casey Eichfeld and Devin McEwan didn’t need a tiebreaker as they finished ahead of Michal Smolen and Zachary Lokken for the second straight event to grab the Olympic spot.

Eichfeld is an interesting story now as he will compete in the K1 and the C2 in Rio, something not often seen competing in both disciplines.
