Any news about possible reallocations? The quotas have not been totally fulfilled yet, especially sprint and keirin. And :CZE is on the waiting list - 1st below the line in 2 disciplines now - men's Keirin and women's omnium) and 2nd below the line in men's Sprint and women's sprint. Any expectations or predictions? Honestly, right now, I am surprised that there are only 24 qualified spots in women's sprint when the original number should be 30. Are waiting for the decision till the end of May when could be announced tripartite invitation and other reallocations? Thanks

There are more than 24 qualified spots for sprint - I think the only question outstanding on the women's side was what Italy was going to do with their 2nd quota but even that may have been resolved by now. 

 

Apologies for making assumptions but I am guessing you've used Wikipedia as the source for the 24 qualified spots but whoever has updated that page has got it wrong (again!). They haven't applied the cross quotas for sprint and keirin (i.e. those who qualify in sprint also qualify in keirin and vice versa). So, France for example have qualified a rider through the sprint rankings and a rider through the keirin rankings and therefore should be shown as having 2 quotas for both events but Wikipedia is only showing them with 1. 

 

Long story short, I don't think we're going to see a huge number of quotas being reallocated in track cycling.

Looks like the Team GB is in bit of a dilemma 

 

Archibald’s injury may mean Wollaston would be eyeing for Omnium medal and Women’s team Pursuit might favour Team NZ

It’s not a dilemma, it’s just a shame that one of the most intriguing battles in track have been taken from us.

 

Still on the plus side Neah Evans could well medal in the Omnium (I think she can compete with Lotte and maybe even Ally if she is at her best) and the women’s pursuit 4 of Barker Evans Morris and Knight have performed at a very high level already this year and may still be good enough to get into the gold medal race against NZ and give them a good run for their money.

 

With Katie though the GB women’s Track team were looking at doing something historic so it’s a huge loss and one that I’m devastated about for her as a person (for those who are familiar with what she has gone through in recent years).

    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal. 
    • Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?
    • Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore.   Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.
    • No surprise with Aaron Judge winning AL MVP and Shohei Ohtani winning NL MVP awards.   Ohtani is the second player in history to win MVP in both leagues. Frank Robinson (1961 Reds & 1966 Orioles) was the only one before.
    • Ukraine twice in one day defeated Italy and France, like what the heck?
