They (CZE) will go to international court against UCI because of the Sábliková affair,

 

in fact CZE was the whole time as they wrote assured she is qualified because she won a place in time trial during last years world champs, but CZE failed to qualify a quota in world ranking. 

 

now they were surprised that she isn´t among the invited athletes, so they asked UCI for ia wild card for her, but UCI apparently answered shortly No, we will not answer you by phone, UCI will invite athletes only according to our methodics, we are starting to send letters for the invited NOC´s, if you´ll receive a letter with inviatation CZE will participate, if you´ll not receive any letter it means you are not invited. :lol:

 

the czech side is mainly complaining about the very poor communications from UCI, they said UCI didn´t wanted to talk with them about it, they litterally said that they (UCI) behave brutally, that the discussion with them is not cultivated, their lawyers answered only with harsh statements. In principle, they (UCI) wrote to them that it is a only czech problem that they failed to qualify via Ranking and then they lost the time trial quota for Sábliková and that they are not interested and absolutel don´t care about their problems,

 

well after all the bombarding mails and very hard letters from slovakians after UCI didn´t awarded the wild card for Sagan I´m not surprised that UCI are a bit sensitive with calls, letters, messages from federations of ex-czechoslovakia :lol:

 

so in fact Sábliková and CZE NOC is going to international arbitration court.

I don't have sympathy for Czechs in this case to be honest. Qualification system (which is literally available to everybody) clearly says that athletes have to qualify for road race in order to compete in time trial. It's not UCI's fault that CZE didn't qualify in road race, nor it is their fault that they didn't read the document.

Yes, that is indeed Levy the track cyclist, to create extra space in the strong sprint squad. Whether or not he will start in the road race "will be decided shortly before the race".

France did the same with Bourgain in 2012 where he dropped out after a couple of kms.

    • Well, we're just a few hours away from the start of this series, with the first stop being in my home city, on which the "boycott" was lifting afther the whole 2017 World Aquatics Championships cancellation some years ago. I'll be attending on Saturday and Sunday (finals days), and will try to share some pictures.   One of the novelties is that the qualification for the "stages" have suffered some modifications, with more athletes given a chance to start in both individual and synchro events (of course, they needed to obtain certain scores at designated competitions in the past months, including 2024 World Championships and 2024 Olympic Games).   The most significant change however, we'll be seen at the finals, in which there will be a head to head format, which you can read more here.

    • Too bad to hear another case in which athletes are really ashamed and exploited by careless, insensitive bastards, to the point some of them quit the sport they love.   Some months ago I helped a former junior Mexican judo competitor to create his own school. One of the main points he wanted to add to the statutes of his association was the existence of a medical and welfare committee, which helped kids with potential abuse from coaches and that this could be replicated at the local level by other schools and the State's judo association. He told me in his own experience, this conducts are often tolerated and silenced by the national federations in order to get more public funding, which of course, is disgusting.

    • I also experienced the same issues with other websites in the past 2 years (one was non the less than mlb.tv, which I could reach only behind an Italian vpn for months 2 years ago)   it came out that here it was connected to the fucking anti-piracy shield of the Italian government (despite I'm not using any pirate website, only free or paid official ones), with some providers having a lot of their subnet addresses completely blocked because of one signaled violation within their CDN   however, I don't think it's the same kind of issue in  of course   the only advice I can give, it's to try and connect under a vpn (even of your own Country, but still under a vpn)   normally this overcomes all kinds of blocks at any level, intentional or unintentional   and if a home broadband connection doesn't work, always try the data connection of your smartphone (if you have one) before starting to seriously worry
