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 )

      Of the top teams the world with traditions, only Portugal didn`t play in 3 World Cups in a row: 1986-2002 (1990, 1994 and 1998), but then fewer teams played in the World Cup than now. I don't really remember what caused the crisis in Portuguese football in the 1990s or how it was done with this later? Perhaps we should follow their example?

      Well... If not qualifying for the World Cup for the third consecutive time isn't enough to bring about change in Italy, I can't imagine what will be.

      Gravina is simply stupid and probably has some kind of hold over other important key figures in Italian football, since he was elected in 2024 with a majority of over 90% of the votes... I have a hard time imagining it any other way. Compared to him, even Carraro, Berlusconi and Moggi seem like nice and kind gentlemens   Some people believe that Calciopoli in 2006 began the decline of Italian football and that may be true. It only got worse from there, not counting a single accidental Euro 2021 win- something similar to Greece in 2004. In 2009 Roberto Baggio prepared a 900-page report on necessary reforms in Italian football, but the then-FIGC board tossed it into the trash bin. Now we see the consequences...

      I thought our former football President was greedy, selfish, power hungry and delusional, but apparently he has an equal counterpart in Gravina. Some people just lack common decency.

      Well, it's possible that Italians may be more bitter towards short track officials after the robbery they perpetrated against Sighel at the Olympics and therefore more willing to comment and criticize them, but it doesn't make the decision any less ridiculous.   Also, the fact we are Italians, and therefore used to the low standards of football refereeing, makes us especially qualified and trained to identify biased/crooked/incompetent judging

      I think it was never in the history of our sport has there been anyone as brazen and stupid as Gravina. Before presidents would resign, or at least hide for a while, rather than go into a full-blow scandalous attitude with full larrogance and pride. I hope this idiot gets fired anyway, even if he doesn't resign.
