After a second place finish in Brisbane, I’m doubling down on this being an outside medal chance for GBR. Great riding from Ross in changeable weather conditions 😃

One swallow does not make a summer... from 2nd yesterday to 23 today :d

Not due to lack of speed. Led at the first bend from a very wide draw and lost control on the outside when leading.

 

boom or bust type from what I’m seeing which is a great characteristic from someone who wants to sneak a shock medal. 
 

seems we are both in opposite camps. We shall see. 
 

Weird round 4 with Kye getting the win after so many crashed out.

I am just more reluctant to make medal predictions until I know who it on the team. 

 

On the upside, the performance of the GB guys this weekend should put them ahead of both :USA and :NED and in a position to get 2 individual riders.

Does Hunt's U23 results count towards the rankings as well? If so we should be ahead of Colombia in the Women's for two spots.

Yeah Hutt's points count towards the ranking - it's Shriever, Emily Hutt and Sienna Harvey - but realistically at the moment it is just Shriever and Hutt who are active on the circuit and scoring points. 

 

By my calculations we've fallen further behind Colombia this weekend because both Pajon and Bolle Carrillo had decent results whereas neither Shriever or Hutt were really on their game.

How many events are left till the 4th June, I know there's 2 world cups and a world championships but I'm unsure on whether the European Cups count towards the rankings.

This isn't an exhaustive list of all the events that are scheduled before the qualifying window closes - there are other Class 1/Hors Class events in South America and in Asia but looking at historical results, the big names don't tend to compete in them.

 

So I think the calendar for the main contenders is going to look something like this:

 

2-Mar Vaucluse Provence: Sarrians, France (Class 1)

3-Mar Vaucluse Provence: Sarrians, France (Class 1)

9-Mar European Cup Round 1: Sarrians, France (Class 1)

10-Mar European Cup Round 2: Sarrians, France (Hors Class)

30-Mar European Cup Round 3: Zolder, Belgium (Class 1)

31-Mar European Cup Round 4: Zolder, Belgium (Hors Class)

4-Apr Olympic Test Event - NB: Not sure if this event will provide ranking points

13-Apr European Cup Round 5: Benatky nad Jizerou, Czechia (Class 1)

13-Apr Continental Championship - Americas

14-Apr European Cup Round 6: Benatky nad Jizerou, Czechia (Hors Class)

27-Apr World Cup Round 5: Oklahoma

28-Apr World Cup Round 6: Oklahoma

12-May World Championship

29-May Continental Championship - Asia

29-May Continental Championship - Europe

 

4-Jun Final Olympic Ranking

Does anyone have the latest standings in regards to the quotas for both men and women for Paris?

 

it feels like the men have the talent to have 2 spots but haven’t been able to put it all together across an individual meet yet, with Ross Kye and Paddy all racing at world cups.

 

it would be interesting to see what they need to achieve over the remaining qualification meets.

I did a quick calculation on another thread - the men should have moved back into a top 5 position this week ahead of both US and NED but the women lost more ground to both AUS and COL and are currently in 6th place so would only get 1 rider.

If I was being ultra objective, 2 men 1 woman would seem fair - GB have a lot of good men, and one brilliant woman. The woman may be the best (50/50) shout for racing gold, but several of the men are medal possible, whereas Beth is about it at the moment.

 

i noticed over the weekend Cat Ferguson picking up a national Track medal - as you do in between snagging age grade medals on CX, MTB and Road.... In the understdable excitement over generational talents like Pidcock, Backstedt and Tarling, I hope we don't take our eye off Ferguson coming through

    • Only 3 teams are qualified after the 2nd round :      Today starts the 3 round : will play 2 matchs at the same time ...a true war on the field
    • Barp and Pellegrino OK today. Graz was in the top 30 until the 8th km, but weakened significantly and now has no points – not good. Carollo's performance today was completely incomprehensible for me, but it's typical for Italians skier in recent years, apart maybe from Pellegrino, sameone can finish 9-10th in one day and then 50th the next day. De Fabiani? I don't think he'll ever return to even a decent level.   Korostelev has probably already received some new vitamins?  
    • Assuming Bergsma is pre-nominated for the mass-start (place 1 in The Matrix), there are currently 7 names in the matrix.   If everything goes according to expectations, this will grow to 9. In the 1000 metres the favorites are De Boo/Wennemars/Nuijs/Prins and in the 1500 metres the last three riders. It could even be limited to 8, in the unlikely event that van de Bunt qualifies in the 1500. There is precedent there: in 2001 OKT Uytdehaage won the 5000/10.000 metres as an outsider, and also qualified for the mile, as the favorites choked. He was dismissed as a lost opportunity on the very fast Salt Lake City track, but to everyone’s surpise managed to win a silver medal. But from his interview yesterday it’s clear that van de Bunt does not expect to qualify for the games in this event, it’s his ticket to the coming All Round championships (qualification based on 1500/5000 metres times).   But it could get very messy, when 1 or 2 outsiders manage to qualify.

    • The Colorado Springs Athletic Center will be closed to foreigners in 2028 to protect Americans at the Olympic Games Michael Phelps disagrees with the decision   The US Olympic Committee will no longer allow foreign swimmers to use the Colorado Springs Athletic Center, but only in 2028, to protect the interests of American swimmers ahead of the Olympics.   CEO Kevin Ring revealed that there is a rule prohibiting foreign swimmers from entering the high-performance center starting in 2028.   This is due to several reports and complaints received by USA Swimming, highlighting how US coaches are working with foreign swimmers to beat Americans on their home turf, at their own Olympics.   In 2029, after the California Olympics, the doors of the athletic center are expected to reopen to foreigners, but with much higher rates than the current ones ($125/night).   Michael Phelps, who had previously criticized the US Swimming Federation along with Ryan Lochte, has also intervened in the matter.   During the World Championships in Singapore: "What are our real goals? I grew up training with all athletes, including foreigners. We've never discriminated against anyone in our team."   Phelps was coached by Bob Bowman (who recently completed a 24-day training camp with his team, composed primarily of foreign swimmers), and therefore defends his mentor and the team's philosophy.   USA Swimming also emphasized that other high-performance sports centers (such as the one in Flagstaff, Arizona) will have no difficulty hosting training camps for foreign national teams who request them.   The issue of foreign swimmers in the US is becoming very sensitive in light of America's dominance, which has significantly weakened in recent years (recall when in Omaha, during the 2008 and 2012 trials, Dave Salo secretly coached Japan's Kitajima, at different times than the American swimmers on his team).   Is the "America first" philosophy a new form of protectionism in swimming too?   Meanwhile, foreign athletes help colleges win and make money in the NCAA system.   Colorado Springs's view, therefore, seems hypocritical, opportunistic, and arrogant.     from an Italian Swimming blog, related to a Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper's journalist
    • Dutch track championships these days: - Tokyo BMX Olympic champion Niek Kimmann at the start of the sprint event, making a rookie mistake in the 200 metres qualifying, by misjudging the finish line: - Lorena Wiebes winning the Keirin, beating European champion Steffie van der Peet. She has no plans to add this number to her international program, but it shows her immense sprinting abilities.
    • The unanimous opinion is that Leerdam will be nominated for the 1000 metres, apparantly even among the coaches.   As I understand it, this means she will take Kok’s 1000 metres spot in the matrix (place 5), Kok will take the Schulting place (7, but of course she’s allready in through the 500 metres) and Schulting will be relegated to Verkerk’s spot, number 15 and last. This will only be a problem if there are 9 skaters before her, which seems unlikely. Currently there are 7 names in the matrix. If the last two races will go to form, at most 2 names will be added (possibly Rijpma-De Jong in the 1500 metres, and less likely In t Hof or Kerkhoff in the 5000.) Only if the last two both qualify, we will get to 10 names, and then Schulting is out. There is a chance that it will remain at 7 names. That would need for Kok to qualify for the 1500 metres, which seems unlikely where it not for the fact that she owns the track record for that distance. In that case expect Rijpma to be added for the team pursuit and Kerkhoff for the mass start.
