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.

    • Weightlifting formula is more or less similar to 2020 which was considered terrible by everybody!    this is a tough sport, you can't be in your best shape for too many events. there will be risks of serious injuries this way. with these rules you need 5 good results to qualify. if you bomb out in an event to score a zero you are out of the Olympics unless you replace it with another event. which means most of these poor guys have to participate in 7-8 events (and not just 5) to make up for possible bomb outs.    most importantly if you get injured anytime during this period (almost 2 years) you are out of the Olympics! that's how Sohrab Moradi missed the Tokyo Olympics despite breaking the WR during the qualification period. you can miss the Olympics in 2028 if you get injured late 2026 !  Karlos Nasar couldn't win the Olympic title if we had these rules in 2024   I understand 2024 qualification formula wasn't great either, it had its own flaws but this one is much worse for threatening athletes' health.

    • Off to Milan for the 145th session of the International Olympic Committee. Although the agenda has not been published yet, there shouldn’t be any major items over these two days, apart from the election of a member of the IOC Executive Board. This will be the eighth time the session is held in Italy, the last one being during the Turin 2006 Olympic Games.
