Track Cycling at the Cycling UCI World Championships 2023


Recommended Posts

If the commentators are correct, :GBR will have the option to go again? I assume if they have the option, then they will take it.

Obviously I'm happy that it may benefit us (if Tanfield is ok), but seems a bit silly that you can go again when you DNF due to your own error

As now we come across the world
To share these Games of old
Let all the flags of every land
In brotherhood unfold

I agree. Silly rule.

Italy was sensationally awful. Even Ganna's final km was better than Denmark's, but over half a second slower than New Zealand's. An absolute disaster.

Velodromes give me the willies a bit. They just look like a disaster waiting to happen

Great performance from :GBR women's team sprint to top qualifying list. This has traditionally been our weakest track cycling event and shows the progress achieved under McCulloch.

 

Her going back to Australia is going to be a big loss to the squad.

Disappointing results to see the least for :FRA

mTP and mTS are essentially stagnating. Although TP seems unpredictable we always look a step behind the best teams.
In TS what can you expect with a 17.68 start ? Horrendous, but at least Poland is not that far. 

 

wTS now enter the danger zone by failing to reach the "QF". No progression whatsoever, with the 500m and sprint WC in the squad. 

 

Very impressive lap 3 time for Finucane. She'll definitely be a threat.

    • Wrestling in the USA is strong thanks to its universities, but surprisingly, they are not very strong in judo. I wonder why?
    • 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.
    • You are rigth, i dont discuss that, Panama is "Colombia junior", and they have only one year for organize this event, a particular edition without doubt.
    • 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).
    • in the first night of freestyle finals, Russia won 4 out of 5 golds. they have 2 in the final tomorrow, I think they can reach their pre-tournament goal of winning 6 golds.   but interestingly all 20 medalists of tonight were either from Ex-Soviet countries or Russian mercenaries representing somewhere else   I think it's fair to say men's freestyle wrestling is dead and buried in Europe unfortunately. (I mean the old Europe excluding Ex-Soviets) hopefully the new UWW policy pushes some of these countries to restart their own program instead of just buying mercenaries but that will take time.
