Went exactly as I feared in the end, and in hindsight probably the only winner there was ever going to be, but another medal!

I think the battle between France and us on the medal table will go to the France but every medal counts in getting to that 50 target. 
 

Bronze. Bronze. Bronze.

Yep - in the end far too strong and what a performance by the Swiss athlete!

good news for our team relay that GTB will be competitive, especially over the relay distance. Not sure how we beat the French though who will have Beaugrand on the last leg

I hadn't even considered that we'd even be in a battle with France on the table anyway. Hosts should always comfortably be in that 3rd spot (assuming its not a major nation like Brazil)

Without trying to be too pessimistic it could be impossible, even considering the sprint distance. The presence of Lombardi as a second French athlete right up there is a killer. It's a shame given how strong we are, but huge medal favourites still of course.

Charlotte Fry gets 78.913. Highest score so far, but German riders still to come.

Do these scores count as part of the on going individual comp all the way through like in eventing, or do they get wiped etc and this is just a qualification round for the individual?

Neither did I but I’ve seem various predictions say it was possible but I am very skeptical.

I think all scores get wiped. This is for qualification only.

    • Three IOC members are excused for the 144th IOC Session, it was just announced:   Dr Gerardo WERTHEIN  Ms Hong ZHANG  Mr Yasuhiro YAMASHITA
    • aww...  was so close scoring their first historic victory over  
    • Yeah, but that was entirely expected. Nobody thought Fabris was losing it, considering the last lap was his big weapon every single time. Like in the women's 5k Beune generally starts super fast and Conijn often finishes very fast, which in the end means sometimes one is faster, sometimes the other.   Sure gold medals don't exist, by now we should all know that I think   Which is good, because the more sure a gold medal is, the less interesting it is to watch and as sports fans, I assume in the end we mostly watch to see exciting competitions.
    • Nope, "officially" is not the right world. It was a EB proposal, that need to be approve by the IOC Session.   But yeah, boxing will be in LA
    • It feels like events, der boy, events have overtaken the election on stuff like the transgender inclusion and DSD athlete issues. Even Kirsty Coventry is not holding the Bach-Adams line any more, which would have been astonishing eighteen months ago, but seems entirely predictable now - with Athletics, Swimming, Cycling, Rowing etc having now gone in a clear direction, and with the next Summer Games destined for Trumpland, that seems almost certainly not the hill anyone in the IOC will die on. I imagine the reintegration of Russia is likely to be more pressing issue - Trump will want them there, the War, one way or tother looks like it may wind down soon, but its doubtful a trustworthy anti-doping regime will really be in place in time.   The candidate with the most clarity on these issues is pretty obviously Coe. I'm not entirely certain clarity will be a benefit, and we simply don't know how much of Bach's seething hatred of Coe has been channelled into the election backstge -- is Bach now so much yeserdays man that his patrimony no longer tilts the IOC? Or does he retain loyalty through influence, or influence through loyalty?

Only half of groups begin to play in March the other groupss start their campaigns in September.
