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.

    • Judo? That would allow France to win a lot of medals.
    • Nazgul entering finish line in womens team sprint qualifications.
    • luckily for all of us (myself included, I don't want to get mad), I will never rule on anything anywhere (not even at home) 
    • Easily the best work assignment I’ve ever had. It was an incredible experience in-person at the Arena di Verona. 
    • I know that probably nobody care about it here, but today in Wisła were held national championships. Only one round was held, with second being cancelled by heavy rain.   Kacper Tomasiak was winner with 128.0m, second was Dawid Kubacki with 131.5m and third was Paweł Wąsek with 122.5m, 47 jumpers competed in it.   Among womens winner was Anna Twardosz with 117.0m, second was Pola Bełtowska with 106.0m and third was Nicole Konderla-Juroszek with 88.0m. Only 4, yes four jumpers take parts in it, additionaly Konderla-Juroszek announced break from sport after being bronze medalist.    And still people were mad about Bełtowska results in Olympics. How it can be good when we have, now, just 3 active female jumpers???
    • And that's a wrap! The end of the Olympics always gets me. For a couple of weeks, the whole world is cheering, feeling the same highs and heartbreaks together, and suddenly it’s over. I’m really going to miss that.
    • I think Compagnoni is one of the biggest talents in the history of alpine skiing (in a different universe where she didn't have all those the dramatic injuries, she'd probably be a GOAT candidate), but in terms of career achievements, I believe Brignone is above her at this point.
    • Alpine Skiing Return of the team parallel event   Biathlon No change   Bobsleigh Remove the two-man and just have monotone and four-man for both genders.   Cross country skiing No change   Curling No change   Figure Skating No change   Freestyle Skiing Add mixed ski cross team event, mixed dual moguls team event, and a rail event   Ice hockey No change (yet)     Luge No change   Nordic combined Men’s team event back to four athletes Add one women’s individual event Add a mixed team event   Short track No change   Skeleton No change   Ski jumping Men’s team event back to 4 athletes per team Add women’s team event   Ski mountaineering Add individual and vertical races   Snowboarding Add PSL Add a mixed team parallel event Add rail event   Speed skating Remove the women’s 3000m and add a women’s 10000m Add the team sprint   New Sports Cross country running Men’s and women’s individual and team events, mixed relay   Cyclocross Men’s and women’s individual   Freeride men’s and women’s ski men’s and women’s snowboard   Ice climbing men’s and women’s speed men’s and women’s lead  
    • I never thought I'd see the day Italy had a 30-medal and 10-gold edition of the Winter Olympics, so there are probably too many to choose from.   Brignone winning the Super G, because to me that was the story of the Games from a human standpoint.   Lollobrigida winning the 3000 meters, because it was the most jaw-dropping performance for me, as everybody — herself included— was saying she had a very rough preparation for the Olympics.   The 1-2 in the men's skicross, because it was the one race in which I got to taste the excitement of gradually realizing that something unbelievable is about to happen. That's probably why the first moment that comes to mind when I think of that race is not the final, but the quarterfinal in which the Italians eliminated Howden.   If I have to choose just one moment, I'll go with those 3 hours on Sunday February 15th in which I saw Federico Pellegrino realize his dream of a relay medal, then Federica Brignone win the giant slalom, and finally Lisa Vittozzi win the first ever Italian gold in biathlon, with a silver medal in snowboard in the middle.
