:CAN team (2 athletes)

 

Men

Gunnar Holmgren

 

Women

Isabella Holmgren

 

As far as medals are concerned, Gunnar might have a chance in men’s mountain biking, although he’s probably on the outside looking in. Career best 8th at the recent Novo Mestre World Cup, and 5th at the Olympic test event. Isabella, who is the reigning junior World Champion, dominated in her U23 debut in Novo Mestre, winning by over 2 minutes. Won’t trouble for a medal, but it really shows what she’s capable of. 

Off topic but they must be Swedish-related somehow? Gunnar Holmgren sounds definately like a 60-70 year Swedish man

:GBR Tom Pidcock positive for Covid

And therefore out of the Tour de France (not necessarily because of being positive, but because of not being 100% fit). Shouldn't be too much of a problem for the Olympics though.

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

Might be a blessing in disguise that he doesn't have to go through the severe fatigue of a TdF

Less promising is what a team doctor of another team just said on Belgian TV, where they were doing a bit of interviews on the COVID situation: "Yesterday Pidcock came up to me to say hi, and he was looking awful. Didn't need a test to see what was going to happen there..."

Only 2.5 weeks. He’s not out because he has covid but because of fitness, so that could be troubling nonetheless. Hope he can recover in time.

Is there any particular rule regarding covid this year ?

There isn’t in cycling, so we can assume other sports are similar

 

Plenty are sick and have had to pull out, but others have said to have tested positive and continued

    • That is absolutely certain. Any somewhat reasonable politician should be good enough to win against someone like Trump, even with the unfortunate timing (for the Democrats) of having to carry the brunt of the COVID pandemic consequences and so any Republic having a bit of a head start anyway.   But yeah, dreadful performance overall from Harris, who seemed to start quite positively, but then just lowered herself to Trump's level in terms of throwing shit at each other. That was a terribly dumb choice, nobody is going to beat Trump at the insult game, as we have seen.
    • Sorry for missing the draw, I was getting ready for bed when it began and just saw it now     Nice to see it so filled with local sports facts though  
    • It was never a priority to stop the war but to prolong it to offload the old weapons systems and keep Russia occupied in a conflict. But the West's strategy backfired as it pushed Russia to friendship with China. Many don't realize as Russia and China are actually adversaries even when they shared a common ideology during the Soviet era
