Dutch commentator just got a text from Dutch cyclist Roy Pieters, who said that Denmark won't get the win (at least not by catch) because they didn't pass them. Let's see how it goes.

I guess the proper thing to do would be for Britain to refuse to re-run, which would be a walkover for Denmark.

Countries shying away from hosting the Olympics/other multi sporting events need to look at Canada. Hosted the 2015 Pan American Games, which built the only velodrome in Canada + a new pool in Toronto

GB have put in a request for Denmark to be DQ (according to the website - I have the gymnastics on the tv) 

Quite right, anyone could see we were just building up to a big last km comeback!  :yes

BBC were saying that GB have no chance of medals now and Denmark are through - "after all, it's called the pursuit". We'll see what happens though

Passing this on.

 

Nothing official so far, but as just said by the commentator on Channel 7 here in Australia, that after the crash, the Danish team stopped and left the track whilst one of the GB riders continued and finished the race and thus he believes that GB will be given the win from what he has been told.

 

This might be correct - in the World Champs in Los Angeles 2001 a rider took the bronze in the kierin by running across the line with his bike.   But then in the TP you have to have three riders cross?  Or perhaps last man standing in the event of a total wipe-out?

I heard that GB actually finished .

The 3rd GB rider was smart enough to get on his bike and finish

The Danes walked off without thinking 

 

Painful for Denmark but why isn't this a GB victory especially when it is quite normal to pass the other team's riders 

after all the lead Danish rider is 100% at fault 

It's not like the Australian equipment failure-this was totally a rider error 

 

( and I much prefer Denmark to GB in everything )

      How Many Medals do You Expect from Your Nation at the Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026？

      By Andre Han · Posted

      China's medal prospects   Short Track Speed Skating: This is the event with the deepest emotional ties to China's winter sports, as China's first Olympic gold medal in winter sports came from this discipline. Unsurprisingly, people have high expectations for it in this Winter Olympics. Medal prospects are mainly focused on men's individual events and the two relay events. However, considering the strong strength of William Dandjinou, I think the probability of winning gold in men's individual events is very low. Instead, the main gold medal hopes lie in the men's relay and mixed relay. Medals: 1-3. My guess: 1 gold; Optimistic: 2 golds   Freestyle Skiing: The performance of this event is crucial to China's success in this Winter Olympics. Eileen Gu remains our super star and is highly competitive in slopestyle and halfpipe. As for the big air, if I remember correctly, she hasn't competed in this event since the Beijing Winter Olympics, so it's hard for me to make a clear judgment on her performance in this individual event. China has the potential to compete for medals or even gold in all three medal events of freestyle skiing aerials. However, given the unpredictability of aerials, the results could be either disastrous or brilliant. Xu Mengtao will compete in her fifth Winter Olympics. Medals: 3-6. My guess: 3 golds; Optimistic: 4 golds   Speed Skating: Similar to the situation in Beijing, the medal hopes still lie with Gao Tingyu and Ning Zhongyan. However, Stolz has shown extremely strong dominance during the Milan Olympic cycle, so I don't think there will be any gold medals in this event. Gao Tingyu has performed excellently in the previous two Winter Olympics, and I still believe he can win a medal in the 500m. Ning Zhongyan also has the potential to win medals in the 1000m and 1500m. Medals: 1-3. My guess: 0 gold; Optimistic: 0 gold   Snowboard: Like in Beijing, Su Yiming remains the star of China's snowboarding. He has maintained a very good competitive form this season, with great chances especially in the big air event, where he will aim to defend his title. He also has the potential to win a medal in slopestyle. Medals: 1-2. My guess: 1 gold; Optimistic: 1 gold   Skeleton: Men's events and mixed team events are opportunities to compete for medals, with Yin Zheng being the key athlete for medal contention. Medals: 1-2. My guess: 0 gold; Optimistic: 1 gold   Curling: China will send both men's and women's teams to this event. Both teams have the ability to compete with high-level strong teams. I predict that either the men's or women's team will reach the top four. Medals: 0-1. My guess: 0 golds; Optimistic: 0 golds   Ski Jumping: This is still a less developed event for China, but Zeng Ping has made significant progress this season, entering the top 8 in many high-level competitions. There is a chance to compete for a medal, but it will be very difficult to achieve. If it really happens, I think it will be quite incredible. Medals: 0-1   I think other events have no chance of winning medals.   summary, Optimistic: 8 golds and 17 medals;  My guess: 5 golds and 14 medals;  Worst-case scenario: 3 golds and 11 medals.

      Nordic Combined FIS World Cup 2025 - 2026

      By hckošice · Posted

      So tomorrow, the girls will made a protest prior to the mass start for the not-inclusion of Women Nordic Combined into the Olympics   I mean, yeah IOC and FIS have a point that the sport has so few medalled nations in the last decades, but in other hands they still keep in the olympics sports like Equestrian, diving or table tennis where even less nations medal for almost centuries now

      I was just doing my prediction on the other thread, and then I calculated... I had 21 Gold, 8 Silver, 15 Bronze.  Probably a little too hopeful.   Oops!  (And I didn't even think I was being too optimistic as I was filling it out...guess so...)

      This should be included in the Olympics soon. Every single event that’s added to the program is a positive thing.
