Not many people here have a clue what this medal truly means. Basically, we had a huge sports funding reformation that screwed over a lot of disciplines and cycling-track is one of the biggest casualties. Simona's husband (he is also her personal trainer and he also trains 3 of the other 4 participants here) was fired from his job at the Olympic center right before the New Year as well as cycling losing 170000 Euros in 2018 budget. Since they had to take care of their son, they had plans to leave Lithuania, because her husband got job offers abroad. Perhaps this medal can still save the day.

Maybe NZ are targeting the Comm games with AUS/ENG/SCO/CAN etc. But still that's a really disgraceful effort but maybe they've learnt their lesson and are taking the GB path and peaking for far bigger events like Olys. Well I'd like to think so. Because if they bomb out in the Comm games that's funding gone.

    • Regarding the swimming they have added the 800m for men and the 1500m for women so cutting numbers would be odd. 
    • That quota I’ve been told by an athlete aiming to qualify who I know online. 
    • Has the quota for Canada been offically confirmed anyway, or is that just a rumour? I can't find anything on google about it (nor the suggested quota for England's athletes someone posted earlier).   12 per gender would make sense (it's roughly what Canada sent to Birmingham). 12 overall seems dumb.
    • Some sports have qualification systems   3x3 basketball (wheelchair) Para-cycling Powerlifting Weightlifting
    • In the past few games, Canada (and other nations) was given an overall athlete quota which they then divided it through the various sports.
    • Whose decision was this, Team Canada's or the Organising committes?
