How does this work for the Olympics?

We have 3 good sprinters/keirin riders/team sprinters:
- Shanne Braspennincx (recovering)
- Laurine van Riessen
- Elis Ligtlee

We qualified in the team sprint, does that mean theoretically all 3 could go to the Olympics? For example Van Riessen/Ligtlee in the team sprint and sprint and Ligtlee/Braspennincx in the keirin?

No, Netherlands have been given two athlete quotas in team sprint. The only way for all three to participate is by having one of them compete in the Omnium.

So the Dutch athletes in the women's keirin and/or sprint will automatically come from the couple that is chosen for the team sprint? Supposing of course one of them won't do the omnium, because there's Kirsten Wild for that :p 

So basically, we have the maximum number of 8 male athletes for Rio and we'll have 3 women then (2 team sprint/sprint/keirin and 1 in omnium).

Pretty much. The Netherlands has qualified three female quotas in track cycling. They could add a fourth athlete by adding someone from a different cycling discipline to the track team.

Well that's definitely not going to happen :d

Thanks!

Overall this has been a poor showing for the America continent, especially in the men events. Only Venezuela qualified in a men's team event while Canada and United States only qualified in the women's team events. Colombia was entirely shut out as all of the nations have to rely on individual quotas in order to have a decent size team.

Pretty bad results for us! No gold in womens sprint/mens team sprint, horrible result in mens sprint and mens team pursuit. We have a lot of work to do before Rio, especially in mens (team) sprint. I think GB will be favorite in mens omnium and both team pursuits. Germany will (hopefully) be favorite in mens team sprint, womens sprint, womens keirin and maybe mens keirin. In mens sprint it should be between Bauge, Kenny, Dimitriev and Glaetzer (i think Germany shouldnt compete in mens sprint). In womens team sprint China should be the favorite and in mens omnium it should be Colombia.

My predictions:

Womens team sprint: China gold, Germany/Russia silver/bronze

Womens sprint: Germany gold, China/Netherlands silver/bronze

Womens keirin: Germany gold, GB/Australia/Russia silver/bronze

Womens omnium: GB gold, USA silver, Many nations for bronze

Womens team pursuit: GB gold, USA silver, Australia/Canada bronze

Mens team sprint: Germany/New Zealand/France for gold/silver/bronze. Netherlands might win bronze, if Germany/France dont change their team.

Mens sprint: GB/France/Australia/Russia for the medals, Bötticher sadly wont compete and Niederlag probably wont make the team.

Mens keirin: Germany/GB/France for the medals.

Mens omnium: Colombia for gold, Many nations for silver/bronze

Mens team pursuit: GB/Australia for gold, Denmark and maybe New Zealand for bronze. Germany absolutely has the potential to fight for bronze, but somehow we managed to become 3s slower in the last 12 months, although we have a really young team. Italy came out of nowhere and might have a small chance for bronze.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

    • In my opinion, the maximum period in power should be 8 years. Next to, it's already too long, especially since Hungary's economy is much weaker than earlier. Just as Italy has too many changes of government, Orbán's 16 years in power is definitely too long for me. Perhaps only Erdogan and Putin have ruled in Europe longer, but those are semi-dictatorships.    In the USA, just about two weeks before the election, bookmakers were betting heavily on Trump, from what I remember good. They were more wrong in 2016 with Trump and Clinton – then, Clinton was expected to win clearly until the very end.
    • Fraud hopefully not, it's true that everyone says it will be like 50-50% as far as the winner is concerned. Hopefully the moron (ov) loses but honestly don't know what will happen.  My main concern is that it was said about the 2024 US election that it will be very close and then what happened... (I mean hopefully these opinion polls are more reliable than the American ones)
    • According to our bookmakers, Orban could lose after so long time, but I've read that there may be electoral fraud. What do you think?
    • Good to know there will be a women's hockey wch in Budapest this year. Admittedly I was out of the loop for many sports recently (only followed the winter sports world cup circuit prior to the Olympics and not everything from there even) According to Wikipedia the first day of the competition will be Election Day (12 April) Hopefully this will not be a bad omen for any of the teams involved.... 
    • This year, Italy will play against Slovakia in the women's hockey World Championships in Budapest in April. Who do you think will be the favorite?
    • Don´t want to speak about Slovak politics amigo. They all were, are and will be greedy, uneducated and corrupted bastards. Point.   Back to sport. We suck as hell, but we know it, However, that´s not a reason to not enjoy the Olympics, it is a once in a 4 years time holiday of sport 
    • You are easily in NBC´s medal Tally Top 10 mate. No worries 
    • In that time in Poland was ruled by a some center-right government with the support of liberals but a president was a post-communist. It seems to me that in Poland, the president has much more power than in Italy or Slovakia. Btw., during the Yanukovych era, Ukraine also wanted to organize the Winter Olympics in Lviv in 2022
