I fear that I may have developed an unhealthy obsession with cycling ranking lists over the course of the last 2 weeks, but if the MTB qualification were to end as of the completion of world champs, I

:GBR Squad Announced: Mountain Bike World Championships: Tom Pidcock, Rachel Atherton and Evie Richards in British squad - BBC Sport

 

Men: Tom Pidcock, Cameron Orr, Cameron Mason 

 

Women: Evie Richards, Annie Last, Isla Short

 

With Pidcock also appearing on the long list for the Road events, will be interesting to see if he attempts the double - theoretically the schedule would allow it with the elite road race taking place on Sunday 6th and the short track MTB on Tuesday 8th followed by elite cross country on Saturday 12th

Apparently the plan for :HUN Vas is to win the Olympic quota here in the U23 race. She is planning to race in MB in Paris, not in Road. But she will still appear in some road races in the 2024 season.

 

Btw, she is now the reigning Hungarian champion in the road race, the road TT, mountain bike and cyclocross. She has managed to win everything this year. :d

 

Just wondering, would it be possible for her or for anyone to race in both MB and Road at the Games? Has anyone done that in cycling @heywoodu?

the Paris schedule I think leaves enough space between mtb xco and road race to start in both events, if someone is so brave and strong to make that effort

No idea about qualifying pathways and such, but in terms of quality Vas would definitely be able to do so. It's of course significantly harder in the men's events, but even there it wouldn't be impossible for the likes of Pidcock or Van der Poel (but probably doing both would be bad for their chances in both, whereas combining them in a strong way might be a bit 'easier' for the women).

 

It's still not super common though, but Ferrand Prevot, Vas, Rissveds and surely some others would at least be capable of competing in both at the Olympics.

Okay, that's what I assumed. I think Vas will stay in MB for the Games and the Worlds in the future. She will never get any helpful Hungarian teammates for the road, so MB will always be the more probable medal chance for her.

That would definitely be the wisest decision, I would say :p 

 

She's good on the road, but like you said: no Hungarian teammates, whereas in the regular races she is in the team that is a gazillion times stronger than any women's team has ever been basically, so plenty of good teammates there :d

Couldn't Sagan have decided to focus on MTB earlier to increase the ranking chance? I'm sure there is some reason why it wasn't possible, I presume his road team didn't allow him or something?

      Ice Hockey Discussion | Qualification to Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026

      writing here because it's going to heavily impact on the Olympics, but it's part of a way bigger blow for many sports in Italy    earlier Today, the Italian idiots running the government did change the rules about getting the Italian citizenship because of the heritage (ius sanguinis) now, only foreigners with at least 1 parent or grandfather/grandmother born in Italy will be able to ask for our citizenship now all those people with the Italian heritage coming from men/women further down the family tree won't get it because of that (of course they will still be able to earn it following the remaining pathways, like marriage or living here for at least 5 consecutive years -if coming from EU Nations, 10 if coming from outside EU)   this is basically the end of any chance to have an Italian competitive team in all those team sports where there are not enough athletes practicing within our Country like ice hockey, field hockey, baseball, cricket, lacrosse, flag football and even rugby (just to name the olympic sports), all disciplines where we always relied on major help from foreign born Italians   but this soon will affect also a few individual sports, when the consequences of the pandemic stoppage will come into effect (soon)   for this thread's purpose, it' obvious that now we won't have any chance to have a decent hockey team at the 2026 Home Olympics; we are forced to stay with the current shameful B division bunch of drunk players that can't even skate

      Maybe now the sport news and people here can do a little less celebration the next time a russian figure skater has their own disaster.Karma is a thing in sports too apparently,just had to get a bite in that a russian representing georgian had a disaster that opened the door for one of our own to the olympics.And now our main pair fall,whoops.

      it took two Olympics (and 4 years) for UWW to finally realize there is a big big flaw in their current rules (we have this since early 2021)   in Greco-Roman, in high level specially in heavier weights it's just hard to score. in this case sometimes the match ends up 1-1. (1 pt for passivity caution for each) under current rules lots of wrestlers decide to be intentionally passive in first 2 minutes to receive the first caution. this created lots of ugly scenes in Olympics. for example  Yasmani Acosta won an Olympic silver in Paris without doing a thing! he was passive in his 3 pre-final matches and won all of them 1-1    UWW will test a new rule at the European Championship next week, only in case of 1-1 and only in Greco-Roman whoever gets the first point wins. I believe this will become an official rule soon, they should make this change long time ago but yet late is better than never   https://uww.org/article/uww-test-new-greco-rule-2025-european-championships

      are my favorites for the time being.    could definitely grow on me as well. There's very few songs I'd count out before I get the chance to see them during the live shows.     P.S. "Baller"  would play at a trendy shop in LA, and I would enjoy it
