UEC's website is a bit of mess as usual, but the Tissot official timing website is a bit easier to understand, and you'll need it for the results of the morning sessions.

Looking at the results coming in….the Women’s Team Sprint is now being run in the same three rider/three lap format the men use, which means not many of the smaller countries can present teams, so only 6 nations competing.  I’m supposing that’s going to be the default format now?

Two WRs for :NED in the 3 woman sprint & two golds. French men completely messed up their start, were lucky not to be lapped.  :GBR Katie Archibald set a new record with her 15th Euro Gold, this time for the Scratch.

Yes, this format kicked in during the last Europeans in 2020. We had 4 teams last time, so slow progress.

Tokyo Olympics officially was the last competition with 2 riders per women's team.

And I guess :LTU is one of those countries that is not able to find three sprinters?

One of many ... France didn't field any TS in major championships recently, and it's not going to change. Because even if you do find a third sprinter, the level drop is way too important. 

 

Since Tokyo was held in 2021, there is not much time left to adapt for Paris 2024, and the format requires strong adaptations. The "finisher" has to cover 750m when the longest distance a female sprinter can run is 500m (there is no such thing as a +2 laps full sprint in the individual events), so for this particular role you will need a resistant sprinter. Then the 2-riders format force the team to make a choice between a strong TS and strong individuals, in Tokyo China chose to have the first, Germany the second. In order to field both Friedrich and Hinze, Germany had to make one of them a starter, who could be better elsewhere. On the men's side the first one is now nearly systematically a specialist, could be the same for women ... or we'll have a 3-laps specialist to anchor. Yesterday for Russia Tyschenko was clearly better than Shmeleva in this position.

In related news the :IRL government has committed  to building Ireland’s first indoor velodrome.  In fact, a combined cycling/badminton facility, so I can see arguments happening there.  :lol:

Same thing happened after London 2012 where the 3-rider 3000m TP went to a 4-rider 4000m format.  Took a few years for everyone to get teams together. It’s harder to find or finance track sprinters because there is less chance of a track/road overlap.

Plenty of girls, but no one to match Krupeckaitė and Marozaitė in the same team. During Nationals and Baltics Lithuania had several 3-women teams going for the title, but results failed to match federation's qualification standards. Just like our federation refused to send men's team sprint team, despite sending two male sprinters to the championships.

    • They're very likely going to give Leerdam a 1000m spot no matter if she qualifies in another distance or not. A skater who is picked like that would, in the 'matrix', be placed in the first spot for that distance, which would push Schulting to the spot for 3rd place in the 1000m. That's the 15th and last spot on the matrix, and would mean she is out if there are more than 8 different skaters above that position. 
    • Could they give Leerdam a place in the 1000 at Milan if she qualifies through the 500? And surely Vekerk would be the one to lose out rather than Schulting?
    • Makes it extra tragic that she's still quite likely to not actually make it due to Leerdam most likely making it anyway despite falling...seems like everyone there just automatically assumed her 2nd place will be enough and started celebrating   
    • Stage 14 in Semmering (AUT)   Women´s Giant Slalom:   1. Julia Scheib    1:56.46 2. Camille Rast    1:56.60 3. Sara Hector   1:56.86   Full Final Results HERE
    • Stage 13 in Livigno (ITA)   Men´s Super-G:   1. Marco Schwarz    1:10.33 2. Alexis Monney   1:10.53 3. Franjo Von Allmen   1:10.58   Full Final Results HERE
    • I won't write about injuries (Fede) and non-sporting matters (Colturi), but the fact is that Italy has its worst start to the season in alpine skiing in over 10 years... Just one victory, and podiums- if any, they're mostly 3 places. We're also not leading in any of the season standings, no in the women's or men's categories. This isn't be it should be in an Olympic year in your country, where you're having your worst season in many years.
    • Plaisier blew 3 match darts and Ratajski comes back to win!    
    • Yes, she was unlucky, but it could just as easily have happened during some training, like with Gut, etc. Brignone has been essentially injury-free throughout her long career, which is very rare in this sport. It's unfortunate that this happened after her best season ever and just 1 year before the Olympic Games in home, when she just missing of win the Olympic gold medal in her great career. With the gold in Cortina, she would have become a legend of Italian skiing, on par with Tomba. Now she's still the best Italian woman in history, but the miss of Olympic gold will likely haunt her for the rest of her life. 
    • It sad to see this season, as I remember, that Fede last year was winning everywhere, when she competed and finished and now we haven't even managed a single podium in the giant slalom, and it'll probably stay that way until the end of the season. Without Fede and Bassino, unfortunately, we're out of good cards in this event. For me Goggia should probably skip the giant slalom at all, becouse she has no chance of a podium and she risks further injuries. If even Goggia finish 8th or 10th? What difference does it make? If she couldn't get a podium finish today with so many DNFs at the top skiers, she probably never do. Della Mea is OK this year, but let's be honest, she's not World Cup podium material. Overall, it's a sad picture, and we have a 0% chance of anything in Cortina unless a miracle happens in Brignone return.   We have two chances for Goggia in DH and SG + maybe a dark horse in Pirovano/Curtoni in SG. That's all. In technical events, we have a 0% chance for medal and that's sad. Our federation also lost Colturi in this situation... In any normal country, the head of such a federation should be dismissed for disciplinary reasons and this case should be investigated by the minister, or even the prime minister, but not in Italy...
