So we have straight semi finals for the men, but not for the women ?

 

No, it's 1vs4 and 2vs3 to decide the finalists. There are also 5vs8 and 6vs7 races from which those teams can qualify for the bronze medal match if they are faster than semifinal losers.

It was a disappoiting result, but we have a young and inexperienced men's team this time because of Post Denmark (Tour de Denmark), where a lot of our good track cyclists compete.

Smart race by Italy, two medals for Italy in team pursuit in 2020?

Could someone maybe tell me what happened with Viviani's teeth?

 

we all hope that...but it's gonna be really difficult, especially if our politicians can't fix the Montichiari Velodrome question (it's fresh news that our NOC would eventually pay 1.8 million euro to repair the coverage and run the activity in the next 2 seasons, but until the burocracy makes its course -and it could take months- it's only words, not facts)...

our quartets, for instance, to prepare this championship  trained in the last week 2 days in Fiorenzuola (near Piacenza), then they went 3 days in Pordenone (which is towards Triest and Udine) and finally 2 days in Milan at the old Vigorelli velodrome (and all those tracks are outdoor and 400m long...moreover, Fiorenzuola and Pordenone are made by concrete...at least Milan is a wooden track)...

with this kind of training it's just a miracle what they did last night (which still is not even close to their best times)...

but if all things are fixed, then there's a chance to get a couple of Olympic medals (especially in the women's event, since our girls are still very young and not so experienced...so, I guess they have more margin to improve than the boys, who are all veterans -even Ganna, despite his young age overall)...

 

p.s. no idea about Viviani's teeth...:dunno:

Number of indoor velodromes in Great Britain in 1993 - 1 (120m long track)

Number of indoor velodromes in Great Britain in 2018 - 6 ( 5 250m tracks)

The success because of this is not a surprise.

Not necessarily, but to be fair: one can assume that when you go from 1 crappy track to 5 modern tracks and combine that with a huge PR machine and huge funding, it does deliver some noticeable results :p

    • All Milano-Cortina Olympians are to be find in the first posts of the respective threads just like in this one.
    • Almost sadder than a university hall of residence
    • Big shock as  beat the all-conquering  Men's Team Sprint team in the Heats!
    • sure! in every Italian bedroom you normally have every kind of table, chairs, furniture, tv screen  to me, this really look an unfinished room, you normally don't see such a sad place even when you buy a new house 
    • Canoe Sprint There is a now a cap of 5 athletes per gender in the kayak events (down from 6 in 2024). The World Championships has been replaced by the Olympic Qualification Rankings.   K2 lost 2 boat quotas while K4 has gained 1 boat quota. Quota distribution is quite complicated as it usually is for canoe sprint. They also force nations to compete in a minimum number of events based on the number of athletes qualified; 2 and 3 athletes per boat class must compete in 2 events, 4 must compete in all 3 events and 5 must compete in all 3 events and have two entries in the K1 event.
    • Wrestling will have a completely new format, I do not like the changes. ranking isn't really a good idea in this sport, this will force wrestlers to compete in so many events to collect points. which is not good for their health. specially with the current UWW ranking points distribution system which is plain stupid   they are also gifting 18 quotas to very weak countries by that last qualification event. but I understand their point of view. can't wait to see lots of Russian wrestlers compete for weak countries for that 1 available quota.
    • Canoe Slalom Quotas from men's/women's K1 have been moved to men's/women's KX1. K1 will now have 14 quotas while KX1 will have 10 quotas. C1 remains at 17 quotas. Athletes may participate in other events up to a maximum of 2 athletes per NOC.   The World Championship qualifier has been dropped in favour of the Olympic Qualification Rankings (7 K1, 10 C1, 3 KX1), afterwards you have the Continental Qualifiers (1 per boat) and then a new Global Qualifier (2 per boat).   There were a few changes regarding ways to ensure an athlete can only obtain 1 quota. The biggest being at each stage the boat priority is K1 > KX1 > C1 for the rankings and KX1 > K1 > C1 for the continental/global qualifiers. This basically means if the same athlete qualifiers in multiple boats then the quota will be given to the kayak over canoe.    
    • I'll post significant changes periodically. I'll start with the recently added/updated documents.   Archery The addition of mixed compound (12M & 12W) forced a reduction on the recurve side. The mixed compound quotas are distributed as follows   Host - 1 World Championships - 3 Continental Games - 5 World Ranking List - 2 Final Qualifier - 1   To compensate the team events will now only have 8 nations. 2 quotas were removed from the World Ranking List and 2 were removed from the Final Qualifier.   Individual recurve and mixed recurve distribution is the same
