Whisper it quietly....possible Olympic Hoy-trick?

She is probably the bookmakers favourite in all 3 but if you break it down I'd estimate her chances right now at:

Team Sprint 50-60%

Individual Sprint 65-75%

Keirin - 25%-30%

Rounds 3 and 4 of the UEC BMX European Cup take place next weekend.

 

It is a full strength team for the :GBR men again - Quillan Isodore, Kye Whyte and Ross Cullen are all down for the men's elite and will be joined by Eddie Moore. No sign of Paddy Sharrock though - I don't think he is injured but I don't have a record of him competing since World Cup Round 4 in Brisbane. 

 

Likewise for the women, both Shriever and Hutt are scheduled to compete so there is a chance that they could do enough to overtake :COL in the Olympic rankings.

Ranking update after round 3 of European Cup. Unfortunately, today was a Class 1 event so Whyte's victory is only worth 100 UCI points whilst Cullen picks up 86 for finishing second so, whilst they have closed the gap on Switzerland, to around 450 points. 

 

Tomorrow's 4th round of European Cup is a Hors Class event so there are more points available - 200 for the victory and points awarded to the top 16 ridersso there is potential to close the gap further if the British team can hold their form. 

 

On the women's side, Shriever's absence meant that we picked up just 12 points today from Emily Hutt's 8th place. Colombia is therefore still about 400 points ahead of GB. Annoyingly, we had 2 junior riders inside the top 4 of their event but they don't count for Olympic ranking. 

 

Time is beginning to run out for GB women to get into 5th place and secure 2 riders in Paris. Including tomorrow, there are 3 rounds of the European Cup left within the qualification window, 2 rounds of the World Cup along with the continental and world championships.

Kye Whyte does the double at the European Cup, taking his second win of the weekend while Sharrock finishes 4th. Isodore was a DNS and Cullen was knocked out in the semi-finals. 

 

Emily Hutt was DNF in the semi-final of the women's under 23.

Must be good points for the lads, now with that Hors cat. Probably relatively safe now with 2, and Kye increasingly looks a real threat come Paris

 

Unfortunately the push for two on the women's side looks goosed at this point, but if Schriever is fit and on form, should be good to o for at least the podium
