I do think events like the madison (and points race) really, really need the graphics to go to 2019 instead of stay 20 years behind. How hard can it be to have a live leaderboard on-screen (for exampl

Ganna broke again the world record, 4.02.647 for him :cheer:

 

OMG!!!!! :yikes:

 

I hope it's just him being the greatest specialist ever...

 

because this clocking frankly looks unreal...

 

 

p.s. by the way, now I want the Individual Pursuit in the Tokyo schedule...get rid of some farcical event like BMX Freestyle (to keep it within the UCI family) and give us this historical discipline back in the Olympic program!!! :evil::pope:

I don't really know why wanting the individual pursuit in the schedule (or any event) should have anything to do with news like this, but yeah, regardless of who's good at it the IP should be Olympic. Just like a decent omnium instead of the joke it is today.

of course I was joking by saying I want the IP back right now because Italy have the best specialist in the world...

 

being a fraction more serious, however, I've always said that I'd like to see in the Olympic program the IP, the standalone Points Race and the standalone Elimination Race rather than the Omnium (which I never liked, even in the Rio format, despite gifting us of one of the most amazing fights in the sport between Viviani and Cavendish)...

 

and of course I'm the biggest fan of BMX Freestyle being thrown off the Olympic schedule, inependently from any further consideration (because it's one of those non-sports I hate so much -and, unless other disciplines of the same kind that at least have a wide number of Countries involved, this one is very much about 3/4 Nations in total)...

I just don't get the hate for omnium.

 

Omnium was always a highly artificial event with ever-changing formats. I'm completely fine with it having only endurance events, since there are no standalone endurance events to begin with...

to me, it's like counting apples with pears...technically, it doesn't make any sense...

 

I prefer the standalone disciplines, as I wrote...

There should be though, points race, for example.

 

Thing is, omnium is always presented (even by it's name) as some sort of allround thing. And it just really, really isn't. I would really like an allround event, combining pure sprints and pure endurance (and no, an endurance event with some sprints in between doesn't count as a sprint event).

Me too. However, knowing IOC/UCi, that is not going to happen. Therefore, between the previous omnium and endurance omnium, I'll always pick the endurance omnium.

Good to know there was at least some TOISC-love, because here we are on entirely opposite sides. You see that, @Olympian1010?

      Is it true Mehdi Taremi could face visa issues due to him serving in the IRGC previously? Could US sanction professional footballers playing in World cup under FIFA?

      For the summary and lowlights of Thailand's preparation in hosting the ongoing Sea Games, I kindly suggest those who are interested to read from this English language article from Thai media outlet, Thai Enquirer: https://www.thaienquirer.com/63469/thailands-sea-games-2025-under-fire-budget-management-and-technical-controversies/

      It's all hogwash especially in the short attention span generation. Like nobody cares about Free Tibet anymore either. Free Palestine will last a lot longer due to Saudi Arabia becoming a sponsorship force in sports.   Israel is too weak in soccer to qualify from UEFA zone. The only time they qualified was from the Asian zone and they only beat Australia & New Zealand who were complete nobodies in the 1960s. No such luck in the 60 years since.

      Oh I assure you FIFA dodger a bullet with Israel not qualifying…   But ya that’s kind of the thing, shut up and dribble is a mantra anti LGBT people have used often. I don’t think it’s hypocritical to remind them of their position

      Ah, yes but that's not how pro athletes are taught in North America these days? Shut up & dribble is xenophobic, racist or whatever? The hypocrisy of some of these policies were exposed during 2022 World Cup already where the Saudis played it smart and waved their own "Free Palestine' slogans. Forget LGBT rights for a moment, how many 'Free Palestine' flags will be waved in 2026? Or will those be confiscated by default? Somehow I feel this won't be met with similar backlash when China clamped down on 'Free Tibet' in 2008 OG. Saudi Arabia is more important to global markets than Iran & Egypt

      Wisła Płock just assumed 1st position after five consecutive draws. Must be first time ever a team on a five match winless streak actually moves up to league top.

      The problem is, the World Cup is not a local event. Overall it's another storm in a teacup. LGBT rights in Muslim countries won't change a damn inch becuse of one soccer match in Seattle
