Track Cycling Qualification to Summer Olympic Games Paris 2024

[Jan Linha 590]

Any news about possible reallocations? The quotas have not been totally fulfilled yet, especially sprint and keirin. And 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

Italy accepted the 2nd quota in the women's sprint. That's a nice surprise, Fiorin will be in Paris.

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).
