If I read that correctly, (and by read it, I mean Google translated it correctly) there is budget allocated by central government for cycling as elite sport and applications for support can be submitted and approved by the minister. 

 

Does that mean that the Polish track cycling team applied for financial support and were rejected?

Still is a huge problem to give that money.

 

President Makowski emphasized that so far there have been no talks between union representatives and the Minister of Sport, Sławomir Nitras, and the dialogue takes place via the media. He also noted that only on March 22, on the occasion of the 100th day of the government, the ministry presented a program to support bicycle riding, which shows that the recruitment of applications for its implementation lasts until March 29, and the decision will be made by April 5. So a week before the track team leaves for Canada

 

– This is the time when plane tickets and hotels should have been paid for long ago. I don't know if we can make it happen. We are looking for other possibilities, Makowski mentioned.

Referring to Minister Nitras' statement that PZKol activists should "get their shit together", Makowski replied: - We don't need to be additionally motivated. We only needed a little help in obtaining ministerial funds to finance elite national staff.

Will be interesting to see how  men go in the team pursuit qualifying given their starting position of 7th from 12. They'll need to put down a really solid time to get a top 2 position for round 1.

Great qualifying run from  with a 03:47.097. That's going to take some beating in this field but probably would be 3rd/4th at an Olympics if the times from Tokyo are anything to go by.
