The guys decided just to settle for an arm-wrestling & vodka drinking competition instead, then?

No they decided it this way:

That would be incredibly unsurprising from the Soviets :facepalm:

 

By the way, Virolainen...wow, now that's a name who was doing quite well in the World Cup for a bit not even that long ago and has completely and totally disappeared into oblivion, hadn't heard that name for ages :yikes: 

Just catching up with the Russian Champs from last week - she is there, representing Khanty-Mansiysk.  Will let you know how she gets on in the 15k Individual.

 

5th after the first shoot - 0 @ 20 secs. :fingers:
 

Hmm, on-screen graphics following no known logic here.  Darya is 0 1 though.  Does not help that the commentator seems to think her duty is to imitate a platform announcer at a railway

station.

 

Oh dear, dear, not going well - 11th at over two minutes down after 3 shoots - 0 1 1 :(. 
 

Not getting any better - ski speed is there but 0 1 1 2 for 16th & 3:59 back after 4 shoots tells its own story.  :facepalm:
 

So at the final - 15th overall.  :(.   Will respect spoilers for the winner obvs.
 

Will bring you up-to-date with the sprints when I watch them, probably about late March.  Just imagine I am live-commentating from somewhere in interstellar space.

First win of the season for :RUS! :raspberry:

I know this is just an exhibition, but it was actually a seriously impressive shooting display.

Yeah, the Russians are always capable of great shooting. I remember years back the women’s relay team shot what was then & probably is still a WR record 41/40 in a relay & then a couple of weeks later, at the next relay,  the men did the same.   But then ....:nopompom:

It was very impressive.  I think that with less recovery time between shooting stages as well.  If Rupholding ever hosts a Super Sprint, we now know what the course will be.  Just wondering, did Sweden even finish the pursuit?  They were so far back.

My issue is I can not read Cyrillic, so I had no idea who I was watching.  The course looks to be an interesting one though.

Planko gets 2nd in the Sprint, and 1st in the Pursuit for the men.  Jakov Fak and Klemen Bauer did not race.

      Track Cycling UEC European Championships 2026

      The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.

      The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.

      The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR

      That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.

      How Many Medals do You Expect from Your Nation at the Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026？

      By JockCartier · Posted

      I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird

      So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,

      The rankings look likely to give two spots each in the men's side to Egypt (2nd athlete at 3) and GB (second athlete at 9). the nearest contender after that is France and both Egypt and GB have plenty of contenders after their respective number 2 but before France's umber 2   Women's side looks a bit more of a battle, with Egypt again likely to provide 2, and then a fight between USA, GBR and BEL for the other lucky double spot. That said, so dominant are the Egyptians, Americans and Brits, that failing to find all the contenders in the top 50 is entirely plausible, possibly opening a third 'double' spot.

      I'd done my final revisions on my prediction spreadsheets.. and I'm sticking with 26 for Canada.    Take it to the bank! (But don't sign anything)
