I know it's early days but the Aussie men's pursuit remind me of the NZ sprint team. They've become stagnant.

Or maybe they just finally learned the cons of peaking too early in the Olympic year.

 

remember that here they still miss their leader (injured at Tour Down Under) and they also have had some troubles with the anti-doping agency...

 

they just need to re-settle and I bet in Tokyo they will be much faster than now (at least "relatively", compared to the other teams riding here in Berlin, since I don't know how fast the track will actually be in Tokyo)...

What's the mystery ?

We have seen this kind of sudden performance

enhancement many times over the years

 

Most call it doping

 

 

Well. Unless something has changed, nobody spends as much on technology in track cycling as :GBR .

The bikes, wheels, helmets and clothes mean quite a bit in the sport and the time between the last worlds and the Olympics is the time where things happen here.

The Danish national team coach has told Danish media that the Danish national team aren't using their very latest top equipment and he expects the same from most other top teams.

 

It's a sport where the tech race is giving the edge.

Why is that ? :mumble:

1) I would be surprised to see GB winning 4 golds or more because they are far off the top in at least 5 disciplines (men‘s team sprint/sprint/team pursuit and women‘s team sprint/sprint). A lot can happen in the 7 other disciplines, but in none of those british riders are favorites, so i would consider it rather unlikely that they will win more than half of those.

2) Bauge has been caught doping before and in general i dont want athletes who have been caught before to win and more medals after their return.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

Canada won't even qualify for the women's team sprint, due to the incompetence of the NF.

 

I am sorry to hear that, i think your team could have challenged for a medal.

He has never been "caught doping", he has been suspended for 3 whereabouts failures, which is not exactly the same.

Unless Van Riesen, gets dq after a revision or protest, :USA just lost An Olympic quota in women’s sprint, the place likely to be taken by :GBR

 

Also, :CAN :NZL & :UKR ensured a rider in that event.

      A few nations have taken it seriously, a few seem to have given a free ride for athletes.     Great to see reigning Olympic bronze medalist Song in Women's Shot put yesterday. There are 4 Olympic medalist from China in the games if I have got it right

      got a bronze medal in baseball on the final day, which means  are the only NOCs to leave without single medal in the end.    It'll be a busy year for them though, so plenty more chances at the Central American and Caribbean Games and South American Games.

      it's great that some top regional talent took part too. It's a nice way to open up the outdoor season, honestly.

      Wrestling UWW European Championships 2026

      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.
