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.

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.

      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.

      Turienzo is developing! She's still away from the level of Nolot, Moroz and Kampman but I expect a good performance at the WCh. Her peak years are still to come (not even 20 yet).

      Wrestling UWW European Championships 2026

      By MHSN · Posted

      in the first night of freestyle finals, Russia won 4 out of 5 golds. they have 2 in the final tomorrow, I think they can reach their pre-tournament goal of winning 6 golds.   but interestingly all 20 medalists of tonight were either from Ex-Soviet countries or Russian mercenaries representing somewhere else   I think it's fair to say men's freestyle wrestling is dead and buried in Europe unfortunately. (I mean the old Europe excluding Ex-Soviets) hopefully the new UWW policy pushes some of these countries to restart their own program instead of just buying mercenaries but that will take time.

      It was rather a little joke on my part - she never competed on a bike, like Sablikova, but rather combined skating with roller skating. I very like her character- she is very similar to Longo Borghini and unfortunately not every our women`s cyclist has something like that.
