awful day #1 for Italy...:nopompom::facepalm:

 

the girls of the Team Pursuit were only 4th in the qualification ride, but a lot slower than their usual times...and therefore tomorrow they won't have any chance to match the very strong Austrlian quartet in the semifinal round...

luckily the US girls did show up with a sort of B-Team (no Chloe Dygert, among others) and didn't get anything more than a modest 7th place, leaving Italy still among the top 4...

 

in the men's Team Pursuit, one of our riders fell down in the early laps, so the team had to ride the entire race with only 3 men and therefore they got boiled in the last Km and ended up in a shameful 10th place, which means that we just cant compete even for a consolation bronze (top performers in the qualification ride were once again Australia, with a good but not so amazing 3.52.something...and ITA have a 3.53.1 record)...

 

finally, the women's Scratch race...the Italian starter was Martina Fidanza, who won the last 2 world cup races...

and approachinmg the final lap she was in perfect position to try her sprint finish, but the :BEL Belgian D'Hoore decided to make an hazardous move and made many riders (Fidanza included) fall down...

and because the world is full of injustice, she still managed to win the Bronze Medal...

meanwhile the first Gold of the Championships went to :GBR Barker ahead of :NED Wild...

 

tonight there are also 2 more Medal Finals, the Team Sprint events...

 

and among the women, it's gonna be :AUS AUS vs :RUS RUS for Gold (:GER GER vs :MEX MEX for Bronze)...

 

meanwhile the men's deciders will be :NED NED vs :FRA FRA for Gold and :GER GER vs :RUS RUS for Bronze

Semi-decent day. Olivija managed to avoid the major crash in the scratch race, even though her bike got hit and she lost momentum, managed to finish in 6th place, followed by 7th place in the women's team sprint for Krupeckaitė and Marozaitė.

 

 Could have been better, could have been worse, atleast our sprint duo did not damage their chances to get two spots at the Olympics.

Do you know the points distribution for Team sprint and Team pursuit for the Olympic Ranking? How many Points do the federations get for each rank? Thanks a lot. :)

 

You can find it from page 54 here:

    • Early thoughts: i will vote for one of Aleksandra Mirosław (the one and only gold in Paris), Wilfredo Leon (best player in our volleyball team in Paris), Iga Świątek (another RG win but only Bronze in the Olympics) or Natalia Bukowiecka nee Kaczmarek ( the most valuable medal in Paris for me)

    • Giorgia Meloni’s government in Italy will not be allowed to deport illegal aliens according to judges who just ruled against her decision. They cited how Egypt has a poor human rights record and therefore sending illegals from Egypt back to their home country would potentially violate their human rights so it cannot be done. Italy’s borders will remain open and the New Europeans will be allowed to flood both Italy and Europe forever more.
    • in a sport like wrestling, if you are #1 in your country and win World or Olympic medals you can make money otherwise you get nothing. that's not the case in table tennis.   being #2 in your country behind the world #1 (who happens to be from the same country) is a terrible situation. you know you are good enough to win medals but someone always blocks your way,   most of these Russian wrestlers try to win the Russian nationals and win medal for Russia (which pays much better) but when they realize they are getting old and they can't beat a certain local wrestler they move to somewhere else. that's still bad but I don't really blame them, nobody wants to end his career without a major medal.   it's not a bad idea if UWW somehow follows what IJF does. but I don't think that happens anytime soon.
