In October of 2021 a decision was made that only those who won medals at the olympics are default notable, and those not winning medals are not default notable for participation, although they may be notable if we can find enough sources to show a passing of GNG, or show other signs of notability. Coomans article currently has only one source, sportsreference.com. This is a source that is so comprehensive while providing little coverage of those included, that it is generally not considered to add towards passing GNG. GNG also requires multiple sources. I did a google search and found no substantial references to Coomans. The article says of Cooman "he competed in the C-2 1000 m event, but did not finish." which is not exactly the wording that suggests that his olympic showing was notable.
