Is teh Race Walking team closed or they're going to add more athletes?

 

Anyway, I'm happy por Derek but sad for Charlotte. I think she's the future of british marathon running, cause she's so young; not being part of the olympic team is a mistake by BA....

Well, Charlotte did not achieve the British qualification standard so her chances of going to Rio were very very small. The selectors have made it clear that any 3rd athlete must have achieved the GB selection standard, so athletes need to work towards tha.

 

the 20km race walking teams still have to be selected, their trials are in Leeds at the start of June.

Do you know how and when will Great Britain select the sailing crews in men's 470 and 49er? I just noticed that Luke Patience and Elliot Willis had been deselected to the team few months ago because of the Willis' ongoing battle with bowel cancer. He was replaced by Chris Grube.

I thought John Pink and Stuart Bithell for 49er. How did it happen?

Apparently not, according to the official Team GB site: https://www.teamgb.com/news/final-four-sailors-selected-to-team-gb-for-rio-2016

Yes. It's already been published on Team GB site. I just want to find out how did the British sailors select Fletcher and Sign over Pink and Bithell, who earned the quota place for Team GB at the Worlds two years ago.

Day 1 Finals

 

Archery - Men's Team

 

no British participation

 

Cycling - Men's Road Race

 

:GBR Steve Cummings

:GBR Chris Froome

:GBR Ian Stannard

:GBR Geraint Thomas

:GBR Adam Yates

 

The course is made for climbers apparently so Froome could have a chance if he does something. I wouldn't make predictions for this race though as anything can happen.

 

Fencing - Women's Individual Épée

 

no British participation

 

Judo - Women's -48kg

 

no British participation

 

Judo - Men's -60kg

 

:GBR Ashley McKenzie

 

Should beat Özlü :TUR in R32 but will then face the current world champion Smetov :KAZ in R16. Repechage is possible if Smetov makes it far.

 

Shooting - Women's 10m Air Rifle

 

:GBR Jennifer McIntosh

 

I don't know, a better finish than in London (36th) would be nice. No chance for a medal.

 

Shooting - Men's 10m Air Pistol

 

no British participation

 

Swimming - Women's 400m Individual Medley

 

:GBR Hannah Miley

:GBR Aimee Willmott

 

Both should make the final and Miley could go for silver if things to well. Husszu :HUN will be too strong.

 

Swimming - Women's 4x100m Freestyle Relay

 

no British participation

 

Swimming - Men's 400m Freestyle

 

:GBR James Guy

:GBR Stephen Milne

 

Milne should aim for a new PB and Guy is a medal contender if things go well. However, he will face strong competition such as Park :KOR, Sun :CHN, Horton :AUS, Detti :ITA, Cochrane :CAN and the Americans :USA. Just hope his swimming trunks sit tight. :lol:

 

Swimming - Men's 400m Individual Medley

 

:GBR Max Litchfield

 

Should qualify for the final.

 

Weightlifting - Women's -48kg

 

no British participation

 

optimistic shot on medals 3
reasonable shot on medals 1

Team GB medals after Day 1

 

Rank Gold Silver Bronze Total
--- 0 0 0 0

 

After a disappointing start no medals for GB on Day 1. The only highlight was Peaty's WR and McIntosh finished 15th which is very good. 21 places better than 4 years ago.

    • FIBA World Cup Qualifier March P.R.   This is my proposed Young Guns Developmental Roster. The FIBA World Cup Qualifier in P.R. is a throwaway tour- nament for Team USA after the Gold Medal Game debacle. This is the perfect environment to test the Young Guns to see who has it, who does not, and who needs more devel- opment. The 2026 FIBA World Cup in Berlin is the tuneup for 2028 in L.A. The game against Spain will answer many questions.   Betts     Center age: 22 Boston  Center age: 24 Brink     SF, F   age: 24 Stewart  F, PF  age: 32 Kiki Iriafen F     age: 22 Jackson SF       age: 24 Howard  SF, SG age: 26 CC         PG       age: 24 Paige     SG       age: 24 Young    SG, PG age: 28 Plum      SG, PG age: 32 Citron    SG         age: 22
    • I'm also reminded as I know Canadians are painfully aware that if figures hadn't been a part of the 1984 Olympics, then Brian Orser would have won gold.  Hamilton could have finished 4th in the free skate that year and still beat Orser who finished 7th in the figures

    • Can I purposely make them there to show that they are a completely different country?
    • We have two names, artistic skating or artistic riding
    • I would like to see the Summer Games in Italy after long time ago: 1960, especially since the last times we have only had winter editions, but with this political class it will be difficult First of all, such games should serve to promote and strengthen local sport, and we have a problem with that. If I remember good, that, 1960 was a very successful year for us in sports - maybe some normal people were still in power in that time, no idiots, like now?
    • If a credible bid had come across the IOC's radar it would have been awarded by now imo. Which western country is going to submit a good bid and get the games?
