Speedway FIM World Championship 2020 (Visit Czech Republic Grand Prix)

On Jutta Leerdam, what happens if Naomi Verkerk (third place finisher in 1000m) ends up within the top 9 of the matrix, something like this:   Kok Groenewoud Beune Schulting Conijn Rijpma-de Jong Leerdam Boersma Verkerk In that case, would the only way Leerdam can race the Olympic 1000m be if the selectors make a discretionary call to do so? I do see the word "calamiteit" in the selection procedures -- https://knsb.nl/media/documents/KNSB_selectiedocument_2025-2026_OS_Milaan_def_29sept25.pdf -- but I, just an English speaker, can't make out through google translate whether the "calamiteit" mentioned in the PDF would cover this situation.   What have they been saying about this on NOS?

OK.

She could be a dark horse. But she has to be 100% good in 2 runs- she's always taking a huge risk and often exaggerates the risk. However, I wouldn't give her any less of a chance than, like Shiffrin in the giant slalom.

The comments I refered to are an appraisal of his performance yesterday, factoring in the high air pressure that’s not conclusive to fast times. You dismissed that appraisal of a number of experts. 

Even 2 years ago, I was hoping Ghiotto would be a second van der Poel from 2022, that he would simply go to OG and win 2 gold medals in the 5 and 10 km in Cortina and end his career with a great champion in glory. But this is Italy, and we don't know how to create great champions with truly strong mentalities. However, we are masters at creating alibis: injuries, a bad day, strong rivals, etc.
