In the Indian Ocean Archipelago also work official reserves Joan Crespo (K1) and Klara Olazabal (C1).. the other two official reserves as substitutes for Maialen Chourraut (K1) and Ander Elosegi (C1) are not predetermined because no aspirant reached the score, so that if the selection tests for reservations could not be carried out because of COVID or other reason, Miquel Travé and Laia Sorribes will be chosen.
