I still expect plenty of medals from the cycling team though, without Katie, less in the way of gold

Can the pursuit team win without her? Who are the favorites now?

I think that for the Madison GBR can find someone else, but for the pursuit is not the same...

This is the most relatable an Olympian will ever be.

 

Hopefully she fully recovers quickly, but that sucks.

Very sad news for Dutch gymnastics fan as Eythora Thorsdottir breaks her foot. She is an amazing person and her presence will be missed very much in the TeamNL camp in the Olympic village.

Team NZ already had the edge over the Team GB twice in Nations cup back to back. They are inform team. 
Madison will see Botha and Wollaston rise to the occasion. Wollaston has had impressive year in tracks and roads but because she is solely focusing on Tracks for Paris she is likely to get podium in all 3 endurance race. She is fired up for Omnium

GB may miss out on gold in Women's Team Pursuit and might not even medal in Omnium but we're still the heavy favourites in the Madison as we'll have the world championship team of Evans and Baker going instead.

More bad news for The Netherlands as reigning Olympic champion Niek Kimmann will miss Paris because of heart problems. The French BMX race sweep is getting close this way.

I've been following Kimmann's youtube vlogs since before Tokyo. This is so sad. He was in great form as well. Worst injury in the TeamNL squad so far:cry:

 

Either way, it's a good choice, his health goes above everything. I hope he's in good hands medically and wish him a good recovery.

Two finals worth of non-French are going to have a say in that, but yeah... :( 

 

At least it's very good they discovered it now, instead of when it's too late. Don't mess with heart problems.

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal. 
    • Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?
    • Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore.   Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.
    • No surprise with Aaron Judge winning AL MVP and Shohei Ohtani winning NL MVP awards.   Ohtani is the second player in history to win MVP in both leagues. Frank Robinson (1961 Reds & 1966 Orioles) was the only one before.
