Track cycling is a niche sport, period :dunno:

 

Nobody is argueing it's not. But even a niche sport should be worth something for it's own federation, which however isn't showing half the competition/

I absolutely agree...

 

that's not serious by UCI...

 

there are a few international federations that have live streaming also for the cadets and junior events, and this buch of *beep* can't even cover properly the senior world champs...:facepalm::wall:

 

p.s. not to mention the mess they do when they have coverage...any referral to the finish of yesterday's men's scratch race is purely intentional...:hairpull:

 

Oh that was some of the worst TV directing I've seen in sports in many years :lol:

Maybe it would have been different if Sky/Ineos/whatever poured money into this joint? :lol:

That's already annoying for World Cups, but it's just outright shitty for world championships. If even UCI themselves don't take their events seriously...?

 

Come on, it's not just qualifying events.

 

Now you say it ... I wasn't even complaining about it because I integrated the fact that we have to ask for the utter minimum when dealing with broadcasting :)

Not to mention also the problem of TV channels buying the diffusion rights and then not broadcasting the event :)

UCI's YouTube streams being geoblocked for an entire World Cup event because Eurosport shows a replay on Sunday night and Dutch TV has a 5-minute review of the entire weekend on Sunday is rather annoying, yes :facepalm:

Yumi Kajihara starts the omnium with a bit of a surprising scratch win, ahead of favourites Kirsten Wild and Jennifer Valente.

 

Couldn't see the live results so Wild (who got disqualified), made 5 of her opponents fall without falling herself :p

Must have been a wild move :yikes: 

 

She didn't get disqualified though, but relegated (moved to the last finishing position), which is a significant difference :p I'm assuming someone who is DQ'ed is actually out of the omnium?

You're right 

Didn't see her first time in the standings but she's there with 4 points (more than those who couldn't reach the line by her fault :))

    • 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.
    • Federica Brignone with her new boyfriend   https://www.gazzetta.it/gossip/21-04-2026/federica-brignone-prima-uscita-pubblica-a-madrid-con-il-fidanzato-james-mbaye.shtml?intcmp=leggianche_free
    • 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.
