Another track medal for a brit that should have been dq'd. But when it's time to bitch about Russia they're the first to get on their high horse.

I cant even describe how disgusting Cavendish is, what an embarassing athlete, british fans must feel ashamed for him.

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

Gold for Viviani Silver for Cav and Bronze for Hansen...Gaviria very unlucky finishing only 1 point out of the mens omnium podium

 

He said in an interview he didn't feel well the two days, as in out of shape, not sick or anything. And even like that he was a couple of laps away from a silver. I thought I'd be dissapointed if he didn't medaled but I'm really just feeling really proud.

I like the points race (and the madison) so much :cry: I really want to see either of them as a separate event again.

 

I agree 100%...

 

Track cycling has lost its diversity after endurance events were kicked out. The likes of Argentina, Uruguay, Mexico used to win medals here and nowadays they have hard time in qualifying for Olympics, let alone having high placements. It's all about sprint and team events which are very much powerhouse events, of course...

Same here. UCI wants the madison and individual pursuit back on the program, I think. But I'd also like to keep the omnium. I love the points race and the elimination.

Individual pursuit would be a bad addition, the team event is more interesting and it would be there only to pump up even more the medal numbers of GB, Australia, etc

      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 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.
