So, I was checking the start list to BMX Freestyle's final tomorrow, and Anthony Jeanjean :FRA is the only cyclist from a country out the Olympic Ranking in the final. Then, it's pratically assecurated his quota to the Olympics. Once the Olympic Ranking is almost defined with :RUS:USA:JPN:VEN:GBR:AUS getting quotas through it.  Kenneth Fabian from :CRC is the second highest cyclist and he is also, pretty close to get the second ticket to Tokyo.

 

On the women's competition there are five cyclists disputing directly the Olympic quotas in the final. They are representing :FRA:ESP:CHI:ARG:AUS

Women, according to the UCI Site:

 

1. Hannah Roberts :USA 

2. Macarena Perez Grasset :CHI 

3. Charlotte Worthington :GBR 

 

Quota Places for :USA and :CHI. And depending on who will win the ranking quotas ( :USA for sure) next in line are in that order :GBR:GER:SUI:AUS:FRA:ARG 

 

Men's result

 

1. Brandon Loupus :AUS 

2. Martin Logan :AUS 

3. Nick Bruce :USA 

 

Quota places right now for :AUS and :USA. Next in line after the ranking quotas are distributed (and considering that :JPN has the host quota) are :RUS:VEN:GBR:FRA:CRC:ECU

Womens' competition it's not defined yet. Once the Olympic Ranking may be a few changes till the last update. However, the Olympic quotas through this championship likely go to Macarena Perez :CHI and Natalya Diehm :AUS

 

 

The same situation at men's competition.Very probably Anthony Jeanjean:FRA get his quota. The second may go to Daniel Dhers :VEN or Kenneth Fabian :CRC. Eventually both will get their quotas through Olympic Ranking, this championship or the extra spot if Japan qualifies by Olympic Ranking.

Man the men’s 26 trials competition was awesome. I really enjoy watching trials. You can’t go wrong watching cycling, it’s all good.

Let's make a looby for Trials becomes an Olympic Sport :clap:

Not nearly enough countries, but it should be in something like the Urban Games or World Games. I don’t know what the UCI has against the World Games, but it’s a shame they won’t like these disciplines try there luck there. Trails would be a great inclusion at something like the European Championships or European Games too.

My definition of awesome is decidedly different from this. This makes no sense to me as a sport, really. Even kinball seems more interesting.

Alright captain positivity :p. Trials reminds me a lot of climbing and a few other sports I love, so that may be why I like it. It’s also just something rather unique, and it’s fun to see the crazy things people can do with a bike. Kinball is king of course. It seems to formed a sort of cult presence on the forum :d

    • I remember when I was a child and I was on holiday with my parents in Tunisia, I think in 1999? We were on a trip to the desert near the border with Algeria. The guide said something like that: Algeria is a few minutes from here but we won't go there because there is a war going on there and it's not safe.
    • Netanyahu is bad but unfortunately Hamas helps him maintain power. Every attack they make is a reinforcement of Netanyahu's rhetoric about the country's security, etc. In the fall of 2023, Netanyahu was already losing support and then suddenly a big Hamas attack on a festival near the Gaza Strip. Coincidence? It wouldn`t surprise me at all if Netanyahu knew about the plan for this attack but did nothing so that he would then have the tools to maintain his power. I also remember Ariel Sharon - he was probably even more radical than Netanyahu but he had a brain hemorrhage and fell into a coma.
    • Ah yes, post-colonial bickering never gets too old. Let me grab my popcorn!   Netanyahu is on a personal revenge mission to avenge his brother's death for his entire political life and people still act like they're surprised by his actions
    • MId-1962.  Almost all the Jews were driven out in a few days, even though they had been living there since Classical, pre-Muslim times.   Perhaps our friend could give us details of of any current Algerian plans to welcome them back, restore their property, guarantee their safety etc etc?    
    • In what year did Algeria free itself from French influence? 1960, exactly?
    • Or better, perhaps he'd like to tell us what happened to the 140,000 Jews who were living in Algeria in 1960, as against the 200 who live there now? 
    • There are still many people of Jewish origin in Central and Eastern Europe who have nothing to do with the state of Israel. What ties does Zelensky have to the state of Israel? Apart from he waś there as president of Ukraine and speaking in the Knesset? Nothing. In the power circles in Moscow there were/are many people of Jewish origin and what about that? A large part of the power apparatus of the USSR was based on Jews, especially in the years shortly after WWII.   Instead of constantly writing about Jews, would be better to tell me which country Algeria has better diplomatic relations with: Tunisia or Egypt?  
    • Handy guide for the perplexed.  
    • I`m a bit disappointed with the starts of the Italian team. I was counting on progress from last year. And here it looks like Bagnis is still very uneven. In Cortina there will be 3 competitions with medals to win and it would be a shame not to use our track to win 1-2 medals. The same goes for luge.
    • On the other hand Errani's serve doesn't make Paolini's task any easier... But Paolini is in a such good shape here, though, that I hope she wins her first title in the old Fed Cup. For Errani, it will be 4: 2009, 2010, 2013. So far, Roberta Vinci has 4 titles with Italy.
