Interesting the women didn’t race the team pursuit. I presume it was cause Blondin couldn’t do triple duty and TP was odd one out

They were in the B final because they finished in last during the previous world cup it was contested. They won the B final but the time was slower than all the teams in the A final.

Bronze in women’s team pursuit at the World Championships!

I wonder what exactly happened during the World Cups. They were at the bottom in every race.

Yeah, they’ve been up and down the past few years. They went from being the dominant force, and winning a ton of World Cups/World Championships medals/and an Olympic medal, to performing terribly at the World Cups and now winning bronze. I don’t get them 

 

Maybe there’s been a lingering injury for one of them that hasn’t been disclosed?
