I'm usually not a fun of this strange idea but this time I'm happy.

Ashgabat have a very nice velodrome, I remember the Asian Indoor Games :)

Just hope that we'll haven't the annoying fake fan...

Mikkel B will attempt the world hour record today at 18:00 CET

 

Not so sure that he'll actually go for the World Record. It sounds more like just the Danish record, but we'll see.

Anything that's about someone riding one hour at 50km/h+ goes in the books as WR attempt :d

The Danish record is 53.619 km/h, which is the second longest in the world, so it will not be easy for Bjerg to beat Toft Madsen's record. Toft Madsen set his record in Mexico, while Bjerg's attempt will be in Odense. Not really the same conditions.

Toft Madsen's record at European ground is 52.324 km/h, Bjerg record is 52.311 km/h.  Bjerg will very likely beat 52.324 km/h.

For a long distance, riding on sea-level might actually be better than on high altitude like Aguascalientes.

Hey everyone.

I will go to Odense Velodrome today, where Bjerg's attempt will take place, and suppot him in his hour record attempt. I promise to post pictures and a couple of videos from his attempt. 

His attempt starts at 18:00 CET.

    • I have reported this again and they said it should be fixed now, please let me know if you are still facing issues.
    • more countries added to the list of US ban    you can't travel to USA if you are from : burkina faso , niger , Laos , South sudan , mali , sierra leon ...
    • Yes, but what I mean for Serbia is that everything changed there (unfortunately for us ). 2022 was an unbelievable mess, that's not the case anymore now with just one athlete who has really gone for it and made it, so I'm 99% sure they'll accept it this time.   Who knows though. Plus there's always 1-2 bigger countries here or there who reject something, but it's not gonna be 16 places I'm afraid   
    • Doping by Event Type When we look at which events have the most doping cases, a few categories stand out from recent sanction records: Long Distance (3,000m and above): 32% of cases Sprints (400m or less): 24% of cases Jumps: 12% of cases Javelin: 8% of cases Middle Distance (800m–1,500m): 8% of cases Hammer: 8% of cases Steeplechase (3,000m SC): 4% of cases
    • From 2020 to 2025    These three countries alone make up almost two-thirds (61.9%) of all current doping violations in athletics worldwide. It’s worth noting that 199 of World Athletics’ 214 member federations have no athletes on the current ban list. This means the problem is really concentrated in a small number of places. Here’s a look at the top countries: Rank Country Total Violations Percentage Region 1 Kenya 119 24.74% Africa 2 India 108 22.45% Asia 3 Russia 73 15.18% Europe 4 China 26 5.40% Asia 5 Turkey 20 4.16% Europe 6 Italy 18 3.74% Europe 7 South Africa 18 3.74% Africa 8 Ukraine 17 3.53% Europe 9 United States 16 3.33% North America 10 Morocco 15 3.12% Africa
    • Here's my calculations of the quotas. I believe you are correct about Italy having 3 quotas in men's singles.   Men's Singles   3 Quotas: 2 Quotas: 1 Quota:   data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAPABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==   Women's Singles   3 Quotas: 2 Quotas: 1 Quota:     Men's Doubles   2 Quotas: 1 Quota:     Women's Doubles   1 Quota:

    • Mykolas and Rūta are athletes of the year,no surprises there.
