The most annoying thing is that France was historically very successful in relays at Antholz and that's what baited me to pick them for first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just boring. If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Manchester Velodrome opened in 1994 and GB has turned into a powerhouse since. Hell, even Poland has a velodrome build in 2008 and we've won several track cycling medals in the last decade. It's a low-hanging fruit very similar to luge. The countries that do well in luge are the ones that have build a luge track. Same applies to track cycling.
