Will van Dijk win a gold... 

That would be awesome. Barely a year ago I saw her sitting on the road next to my tiny town, where she was watching the Dutch time trial championships whilst being very pregnant, so to say  Gave birth 9 months ago, broke her ankle 7 months ago, still walking with a brace around her ankle....it would really be quite something. Dygert should be too strong for everyone, and Vollering probably for Van Dijk, but it'd be so cool (also because I just like Van Dijk so much more than both Dygert and Vollering )

Wow, great story 

Rain wont help her her (probably) sore ankle.

She has few supporters along the road

I'm positively surprised to have seen her made quite some serious progress since she first appeared.

Correct, the taliban don't actually have a say who represents afghanistan it is all done from abroad, to i believe it was the IOC who picked the team and the taliban are pretending they are only sending men....because you know, women aren't allowed to do anything in 2024

It has been quite a work behind the scenes to get them to start here, and even under their country's flag, but it did work. If I'm not mistaken they train somewhere in Europe nowadays, I feel like it's Germany but I'm not sure. It's working though!
