The same names? I think this team is  safe for olympic direct quota.

Yep - same squad that took bronze at Europeans and yeah they are safe for the quota but think they would have been hoping for a better ride given their recent form.

Women's team pursuit finals - :NZL v :GBR for gold. New Zealand posting fastest time at 4:09.259 compared to 4:11.438 for GB. 

Bronze final should be :AUS v :CAN with both teams riding a 4:15.

GB men up against New Zealand in the 1st round of the men's team pursuit with 3 of the 4 NZL riders being on the team in Glasgow when they won the bronze medal. It may not be the strongest field overall, but we should still get some pretty good indications of who is going to be in the mix for medals when it comes to Paris.

:GBR men team pursuit into gold final with time of 3:48.996 - just under a second ahead of :NZL. It's a good time without being great - at world champs last year it would have got them into the bronze medal match-up - but you have to think they still have more in the tank for the final.

 

Really surprised by :ITA - it just hasn't clicked for them today despite have Ganna in the squad and after a relatively poor qualifying, they came off second best against :AUS so will race for bronze. 

 

Think all GB cycling fans can breathe sigh of relief safe in the knowledge that the pursuit squad are very much back in a qualifying spot for Paris.

Very quick back of a fag packet calculation and I am tired so this could be wrong.....

 

If :GBR win the men's team pursuit final then I think they would move up into 5th place in the Olympic rankings overtaking not only :BEL, but also :GER and :FRA.

 

They'd also be ahead of :CAN, but they still have their continental championship to come in the next few weeks so it would be temporary.

Team sprint 1st rounds completed and in the absence of Germany, :GBR women looking good for gold although :CHN posted their fastest time in a couple of years so GB can't take it for granted.

 

GB's men's sprint squad continue to be the weak link in the squad - although they won their heat, they were barely any quicker than they were in qualifying and were the only winning team that failed to break the 43 second barrier.

    • The first prediction is OK for us, but the second is unfortunately disastrous... With 28 medals, only 4 gold at home? And as the same number of gold medals as the UK and Slovenia, who have a combined 6-7 medals overall? It's a disaster. Anything less than 6 gold medals and a place in the top 10 of the medal standings will be a disaster for us... Personally, I'd rather even win 22-23 medals with 6-7 of which are gold, than 28 medals with 4 gold... Yes, every medal counts, but in sport, it's all about winning; the rest are just consolation prizes.

Senegal players Iliman Ndiaye and Ismaila Sarr will miss the first two qualifiers for the next AFCON later this year for "unsporting behavior towards the referee       Morocco also hit with big fine Morocco's federation were fined a total of $315,000 for unsporting and improper conduct by their players, coaches and supporters. A whopping $200,000 of that total was for the behavior of the stadium ball boys, who attempted to seize a towel being used by Senegal goalkeeper Edouard Mendy on a wet night in Rabat — in an apparent bid to distract him. An additional fine of $100,000 was imposed for the "improper conduct" of players and technical staff who invaded the VAR review area and obstructed the work of the DR Congo referee Jean-Jacques Ndala. There was also a $15,000 fine after Moroccan supporters used lasers to try and distract Senegalese players during the game. Captain Achraf Hakimi was also banned for two games, with one suspended, and Morocco's Ismael Saibari was banned for three games, both for "unsporting behavior".

    • Olivia Weaver was up 9-4 in the 5th game.  Hania El Hammamy  then scored 5 straight points to tie it up.  Then, took the lead with a sixth straight point, then won with a 7th straight point, taking the Sprott Tournament of Champions in New York.  Still, congrats to Weaver for bringing home second place!  (And congrats to El Hammamy...what a streak at the end!)
    • One thing working in our favor with Luge is that Women's Doubles is just one sled per NOC, so I like our chances there.  We'll be 3rd or 4th in the Relay (one of my favorite events)...if everyone slides cleanly, we'll probably be 4th, behind , , and ...but anything can happen in the relay.  (I think in my official predictions I had us 3rd.  Wishful thinking, I suppose.)
