heywoodu 13,499 Posted March 6, 2016 #121 Share Posted March 6, 2016 How does this work for the Olympics? We have 3 good sprinters/keirin riders/team sprinters: - Shanne Braspennincx (recovering) - Laurine van Riessen - Elis Ligtlee We qualified in the team sprint, does that mean theoretically all 3 could go to the Olympics? For example Van Riessen/Ligtlee in the team sprint and sprint and Ligtlee/Braspennincx in the keirin? If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

The only way for all three to participate is by having one of them compete in the Omnium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the Dutch athletes in the women's keirin and/or sprint will automatically come from the couple that is chosen for the team sprint? Supposing of course one of them won't do the omnium, because there's Kirsten Wild for that So basically, we have the maximum number of 8 male athletes for Rio and we'll have 3 women then (2 team sprint/sprint/keirin and 1 in omnium).

Supposing of course one of them won't do the omnium, because there's Kirsten Wild for that Pretty much. The Netherlands has qualified three female quotas in track cycling. They could add a fourth athlete by adding someone from a different cycling discipline to the track team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshMartini007 2,130 Posted March 6, 2016 #128 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Overall this has been a poor showing for the America continent, especially in the men events. Only Venezuela qualified in a men's team event while Canada and United States only qualified in the women's team events. Colombia was entirely shut out as all of the nations have to rely on individual quotas in order to have a decent size team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlympicsFan 776 Posted March 6, 2016 #130 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Pretty bad results for us! No gold in womens sprint/mens team sprint, horrible result in mens sprint and mens team pursuit. We have a lot of work to do before Rio, especially in mens (team) sprint. I think GB will be favorite in mens omnium and both team pursuits. Germany will (hopefully) be favorite in mens team sprint, womens sprint, womens keirin and maybe mens keirin. In mens sprint it should be between Bauge, Kenny, Dimitriev and Glaetzer (i think Germany shouldnt compete in mens sprint). In womens team sprint China should be the favorite and in mens omnium it should be Colombia. My predictions: Womens team sprint: China gold, Germany/Russia silver/bronze Womens sprint: Germany gold, China/Netherlands silver/bronze Womens keirin: Germany gold, GB/Australia/Russia silver/bronze Womens omnium: GB gold, USA silver, Many nations for bronze Womens team pursuit: GB gold, USA silver, Australia/Canada bronze Mens team sprint: Germany/New Zealand/France for gold/silver/bronze. Netherlands might win bronze, if Germany/France dont change their team. Mens sprint: GB/France/Australia/Russia for the medals, Bötticher sadly wont compete and Niederlag probably wont make the team. Mens keirin: Germany/GB/France for the medals. Mens omnium: Colombia for gold, Many nations for silver/bronze Mens team pursuit: GB/Australia for gold, Denmark and maybe New Zealand for bronze. Germany absolutely has the potential to fight for bronze, but somehow we managed to become 3s slower in the last 12 months, although we have a really young team. Italy came out of nowhere and might have a small chance for bronze. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.
