Track Cycling UEC European Championships 2020

Huh, what are heats 1 and 2 in the first round?

 

We've got three heats there:

 

1st vs 6th

2nd vs 5th

3rd vs 4th

 

Any single one of them being excluded from the fight for gold would be incredibly unfair, surely I'm missing something here? :d

It seems like it's indeed true, 3rd and 4th position means you're out of the gold medal hunt, whereas 5th and 6th place (with 6th being a full 4 seconds behind the top-4) still have a theoretical shot for gold :rofl: 

 

This is just ridiculous. I mean, I've seen ridiculous things, but a last place - far, far, far away from the second-to-last place - giving you a better chance for gold than a 3rd place is high on the list.

This is stupid indeed. And now for example 1st team won't finish because of crash or something and 6th team has silver medal :lol:

 

If they don't want make normal competition like two fastest time in final, next two in bronze (but then 1 round wouldn't be necessary) then they should make format when winners of 1v4 and 2v3 are in final and two fastest time from the rest in bronze medal race.

The UEC live timing is indeed quite awful, but at least we will enjoy some TV coverage ... First time seeing a 3-woman team sprint (barring the recent U23 Euro Champ with an oversized track) :mumble:

Great chance for Bulgaria to score a medal. Just a relegation needed.

Bulgaria with more medals than Germany, France and the Netherlands combined :yikes::smoke:

Is the hockey glass around the track mandatory for such events? Don't remember having it before.

 

Our regular Eurosport commentator sounds so happy to be commentating from the track instead of the studio. :d

Here we go. Starting from scratch. :cheer:

 

It's a somewhat underrated event. Yes, it is similar to road racing, but everyone competes as an individual!

    • I love that it is more straightforward in relation to the number of quotas and does not allow possible problems as it was in Tokyo and Paris.
    • I love the judo qualification system, for me is the best in all disciplines. It combines a strong circuit, and it allows 100 or so countries to participate in.   So, maybe, if UWW does its job properly, it will be a good thing.
    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,
