Mountain Bike Cycling UCI World Cup 2020

I think these results were heavily influenced by the chance of having regular training sessions during the last months...

 

the Italian riders, for instance, had to take a long break and surely they're not in top shape right now...hopefully they'll be more competitive when the world champs come...

 

France never took serious measures against covid (and we all see that with their current numbers of daily new cases and deceased people) and their athletes had more chances to keep on training all Spring and Summer long, so now they're in better shape than anybody else...

 

p.s. by the way, an Italian girl won (surprisingly, I must say) the U-23 race...little consolation, at least...

Lol :lol: What a load of BS :lol:

We were locked down just like Italy, it was impossible to go out, even in forest or empty areas further than one kilometer from your residence. There were no exemption for high-level athletes (https://rmcsport.bfmtv.com/plus-de-sports/coronavirus-pourquoi-les-nageurs-italiens-peuvent-encore-s-entrainer-et-pas-les-francais-1877165.html "In Italy for example, high-level athletes are granted dispensations in spite of the lockdown").

 

So no, find other justifications please :)

no way...:finger:

 

your lockdown was "fresh air" compared to the total lockdown here (and still your rules are crazy shameful...you don't even have mandatory rules about wearing masks everywhere and, above all, positive testing people don't have to go to mandatory quarantine, it's only "suggested"...here you can't even leave your home/quarantine places when you're healthy again if you don't get a double negative test in a few days...with no exception)...

 

and in particular, no Italian athlete (except for the usual footballers, but you know, they are privileged in many things, not only for their salaries and media attention) was allowed even to go to the gym, imagine training properly...

 

for instance, our combat sports athletes (except for a few pro boxers, who can go abroad to avoid our restrictions) are still "quarantined" and no competition of disciplines like Judo, Karate, Taekwondo can be held in Italy (even Fencing is in stand-by until at least the end of the year)...

they can just have private individual training like any people in the Country...

 

p.s. just to be precise, our swimmers (mentioned in the artcle above) had to fully stop their activity from February to late May, when the lockdown was partially lifted for the first time...

 

however, I was not talking of the early Spring months, when more or less full lockdowns were in place almost everywhere...I'm talking of the late Spring and Summer months, where our athletes still had a lot of troubles (being enrolled in the Military Corpse, most of them couldn't go abroad for quite a while after the lockdown was lifted)...

Il famoso fresh air :lol:

Shameful is a very judgmental word, we're not bound to take the measures you think we'd have to take ; and nope, yet again, we do have mandatory rules to wear masks in most of the cities (which I personally find stupid, as if wearing a mask in an empty street ever proved to be useful, but that is not the problem here).

Same here for the training until very late (later than may), yet again a band-aid on a bullet wound, like separate entrances on the pitch in football matches ... with players sharing the same pitch for 90 minutes then :roflmao:

And yet lots of Italian athletes performed well in many sports ...

Like maybe in ... MTB https://maj.ffc.fr/com/imgadmin/RESULTATS/VTT/2020/fichiers/4893095365_20200808_XCO_U23_et_Elite_Femmes.pdf

Lechner 4th in front of PFP ... early August ... maybe because of the light lock-down ... hmm no definitely

And Ulloa sliped from another top 5 finish to 19th place, after a mistake of his own made him touch Schurter wheel with little more than half a lap to go :(

Results from this stage of World Cup are counted to Olympic ranking or qualifications are postponed to some time as well?

 

No, it is not counted.

 

Quote

The UCI Olympic Qualification ranking is the sum of:
- the UCI Cross-country Nation ranking of 28 May 2019 (including results from 28 May 2018 to 27 May 2019)
- the UCI Cross-country Nation ranking including results from 28 May 2019 until 3 March 2020 and in addition two (2) to be nominated World Cup events in the 2021 season.

    • I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?
    • Not only Korostelev but all 3 russian entries. I will bring the detail 
    • And will bet that the IBU is a lot richer than the FIS because their wealth is based on German TV contracts.  
    • Russians filed an appeal to CAS against IBU. But I do not believe they will get any result in time to grab quotas. I suppose IBU will not agree to have "fast" hearings as FIS did. And i suppose IBU will fight in CAS without intention to lose as FIS did.
    • hmm - aren't Australia and New Zealand the only nations that actually compete in the Oceania Cup?
    • If Australia and New Zealand earn quotas through Pro League, then does that mean 3rd placed team from Oceania Cup takes quota? 
    • Right now russians themselves metioned that they have 2 main options for women`s quota: - Peklecova will was not included into the international doping testing pool (RUSADA is still incompliant after that scandal) - D.Nepryaeva had training camps at the occupied territories - it is the best way to avoid of the international doping testing at all     P.S. Little detail - according to Vaelbe 90% of russian skiera are contracted with russian army or other security services.
    • We had no real problems with russians for a long time. It was a normal sport rivalry. It was common case that statues of russian politicians and poets remained in place even in the Western Ukraine which was joined by the Soviet Union much later. Lyskun was pro-Ukrainian according to her statement but she kept conctcts with her former coach. That coach moved to russia earlier and could do some brainwashing. I would say that the coach may have financial motivation to do this. By the way we had similar case with Bondar from Luhansk who moved to russia in 2014. What is really interesting - russians have a lot of resources but it took them 4 yeats to find someone relatively well-known in sport area to stage this propaganda performance.       Yes, this web-site is active and maintained. The list is beeing updated. But it is not an official goverment resource and it is operated by the non-goverment organization. It was created to draw attention of the national security services to the activities of some people and provide some initial foundations for further formal investigations.
    • AIN's will skipped (they got American visa too late) 2nd WC stage (but their could compete in 3rd WC stage) and, therefore, their chances to got more than 1 entry in OG have become lower, especially,  if their will not allow to compete in Sigulda (but after their participation in Poland's short-track WT stage, I won't give 100% chances for that).   Maybe problem with entries will be solved by itself)
