Track Cycling UCI World Championships 2018


Recommended Posts

Interesting that Portugal has never even competed at an Olympic track cycling competition. Even Guam did...

 

Oliveira brothers are really exciting for them.

Sorry for the late reply, because I don't follow all the news around this, but apparently in December the new Dutch coach (Bill Huck) was rather clear about Ligtlee: "She is too heavy and she knows it. She's overweight and she'll have to change that, because with this weight she won't be able to deliver world class performances."

 

So I guess all that is the reason for her not being that good anymore nowadays (logically if you saw her today, like she ate a 10-person lasagna dinner for breakfast).

No problem, wasnt online since thursday ...

To be honest: She always looked overweight to me ...

Today she was actually quiet good, sadly i had to work, so i couldnt watch any races till now.

Overall the Netherlands are doing really well here, Ligtlee probably would have won a medal in sprint, so then it would have looked even better. I think she has the best chance to beat Vogel in the next couple of years.

Very surprising results in mens sprint ...

You know that the level must be very bad when Levy reaches the semifinal ...

What do you guys think, how many of the gold medallists from here will win gold in Tokyo?

I would say something between 4 and 6.

Yep. In Rio 2016 one could explain it as just being really, really muscular overall, but this? No, sorry, but if you're a professional athlete in a sport like this, you can't be that big and have a belly that looks like mine. Still some time to Tokyo, so there's that, but she really needs to work on that to have any chance there.

    • Ooooooh the group of Canada , they play in Toronto then Vancouver ...look at the distance   
    • now the shooting sport takes a little Christmas break and the new season resumes in January with the Asian Championships for the Shotgun specialists ( Doha, Jan. 11th through 22nd)   the World Cup will be back in late March, beginning in  Tangiers (March 25th through April 3rd, Shotgun specialists only)   the Rifle and Pistol specialists will start their new season with the European 10m Championships in  Yerevan (Feb. 27th through March 5th) and the 1st World Cup stage for them will be in  Granada in April (5th through 13th)   300m, 25m and 50m European Champs will be in  Osijek (May 30th through June 21st), meanwhile the Shotgun European Champs will be held in  Athens from Sept. 27th through Oct. 13th
    • Rare thing not to see Hancock winning gold. 
    • USA will.play in California then Seattle then California ...why hell this long distance , teams should stay in 1 place , this is tiring even for spectators 
    • so, the 2025 season is officially over, after the World Cup Finals have been completed with the Shotgun events, where (once again!!!) a new format for the final stage of each event has been experimented for the first time (before it becomes a regular feature in the next season)   the new format enlarge the starting field in each event's final stage to 8 shooters and dramatically shortens the number of target shots to decide the placings   the only characteristic remaining is the progressive eliminations principle   now, as written above, 8 shooters make the final, where after only 12 targets the eliminations start: by then, the last 2 shooters must leave the competition (7th and 8th ranked)   after 12 more targets (24 in total), 2 more shooters have to leave the final (5th and 6th ranked)   then, the crazy carousel starts: every 4 targets we have a new elimination  so, after 28 targets, the 4th ranked shooter is done; after 32 targets the bronze medallist is known and after only 36 targets (provided there's no need for a shoot-off), compared to the previous 60, the gold and silver medallists are crowned   I guess the tiktok people with the attention span of a chinchilla have won once again
