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?

      Wrestling in the USA is strong thanks to its universities, but surprisingly, they are not very strong in judo. I wonder why?

      Wrestling UWW European Championships 2026

      By copravolley · Posted

      Women's wrestling has been at the Olympics for first time in 2004, just like women`s boxing, so it used to be a men's sport on the all world, maybe without Japan. But Russia retains the culture of the former USSR, where women could always participate in almost all sports, unlike Iran under the ayatollahs, etc Sure, Russia has its various Islamic republics: Dagestan, Chechnya- but the 50 years of the USSR and its ideas and propagandas about life and sport still had a significant impact for people. However, the cradle of women's wrestling is and always has been Japan-, but judo has probably always been more popular there, so I'm sure a lot of talented girls go there, not wrestling.

      Russia was never a super power in women's wrestling, they are just another decent team.   why ? that's simple. most of top Russian freestyle wrestlers are from Dagestan. probably 7-8 from the current team in Albania. and I assume in that region women are not encouraged to take this sport. if you remove Dagestan from Russia, their men's freestyle team will do more or less the same.   I'm not familiar with the Russian culture in general but I assume even nation-wide (and not only Dagestan) this is considered the men's sport.    of course in the World Championship those 3 teams you mentioned can go toe to toe with Russia or even do better. from this Russian team I only see Sadulaev to win the gold at worlds. (+ Sidakov if he returns and maybe Uguev depending on Japan's squad )   still the depth of Russian freestyle is unmatched. they can send their #5 guy and be still competitive for a top 6 finish, can't say the same about any other team.

      In the women's, however, Russia took a strong beating from Ukraine, but surely there wasn't a all top-tier Russian girls here? Judo, in my opinion, is developing better and more countries are at the leading countries, than wrestling. Situation is slightly better in the world than in Europe, because we do have the USA, Japan and Iran. Unfortunately in Europe, this sport is a joke and is becoming a second table tennis, where people from other countries are naturalized and win medals for others, even though they have nothing in common with them.

      Turienzo is developing! She's still away from the level of Nolot, Moroz and Kampman but I expect a good performance at the WCh. Her peak years are still to come (not even 20 yet).
