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 )

      A few nations have taken it seriously, a few seem to have given a free ride for athletes.     Great to see reigning Olympic bronze medalist Song in Women's Shot put yesterday. There are 4 Olympic medalist from China in the games if I have got it right

      got a bronze medal in baseball on the final day, which means  are the only NOCs to leave without single medal in the end.    It'll be a busy year for them though, so plenty more chances at the Central American and Caribbean Games and South American Games.

      it's great that some top regional talent took part too. It's a nice way to open up the outdoor season, honestly.

      Wrestling in the USA is strong thanks to its universities, but surprisingly, they are not very strong in judo. I wonder why?

      Wrestling UWW European Championships 2026

      By copravolley · Posted

      Women's wrestling has been at the Olympics for first time in 2004, just like women`s boxing, so it used to be a men's sport on the all world, maybe without Japan. But Russia retains the culture of the former USSR, where women could always participate in almost all sports, unlike Iran under the ayatollahs, etc Sure, Russia has its various Islamic republics: Dagestan, Chechnya- but the 50 years of the USSR and its ideas and propagandas about life and sport still had a significant impact for people. However, the cradle of women's wrestling is and always has been Japan-, but judo has probably always been more popular there, so I'm sure a lot of talented girls go there, not wrestling.

      Russia was never a super power in women's wrestling, they are just another decent team.   why ? that's simple. most of top Russian freestyle wrestlers are from Dagestan. probably 7-8 from the current team in Albania. and I assume in that region women are not encouraged to take this sport. if you remove Dagestan from Russia, their men's freestyle team will do more or less the same.   I'm not familiar with the Russian culture in general but I assume even nation-wide (and not only Dagestan) this is considered the men's sport.    of course in the World Championship those 3 teams you mentioned can go toe to toe with Russia or even do better. from this Russian team I only see Sadulaev to win the gold at worlds. (+ Sidakov if he returns and maybe Uguev depending on Japan's squad )   still the depth of Russian freestyle is unmatched. they can send their #5 guy and be still competitive for a top 6 finish, can't say the same about any other team.

      In the women's, however, Russia took a strong beating from Ukraine, but surely there wasn't a all top-tier Russian girls here? Judo, in my opinion, is developing better and more countries are at the leading countries, than wrestling. Situation is slightly better in the world than in Europe, because we do have the USA, Japan and Iran. Unfortunately in Europe, this sport is a joke and is becoming a second table tennis, where people from other countries are naturalized and win medals for others, even though they have nothing in common with them.
