Road Cycling at the Summer Olympic Games 2020


Recommended Posts

And one other thing, while Van Vleuten was chasing solo (50-30 km), the gap to Kiesenhofer was barely narrowing. It narrowed for like 30 seconds during all that time.

Before her fall? There is a video evidence of her asking the cameraman for time gaps.

Maybe I understood wrong during her interview (I was also watching other things), or she meant information about the composition of the group or something :p 

 

It's possible that she assumed the 5 minutes was to Plichta and Shapira and when they were caught, they thought they had everyone.

It's funny, Polish ES crew with 100 km left said the women can't let a breakaway reach 10 mins. :AUT wins gold in Summer Games? That must be a huge upset no matter if Kiesenhofer is a complete nobody.

 

Polish media quoted Anna vd Breggen who apparently said she doesn't even know who Kiesenhofer is :lol:

That's absolutely disaster for organisators. There should be some motocycling showing the right times and groups or at least at the first passing the finish line.

 

Neah, it's alright. Modern cyclists are so used to radio-controlled races it's always welcome there's one race where you have to do it on your own. Old school rules! It's the same with lack of pacemakers in athletics.

Great start for Plichta and Lach, Niewiadoma even has a problem to get place in Top8.... 2 days and we do not have medal and event one points from being in Top8... My prediction was 5-6 medals, but I expected more good starts from our athletes. I am happy for Austria. Italian and girls from Netherlands save energy, it was wise. 

Did you know that we have 4 boats in rowing finals and basically nobody who could have REAL medal chance didnt start yet? Be patient, please.

First austrian gold at summer olympics since 2004 apparently.

First Austrian gold medal in cycling since 1896 as I'm sure Grassmarket will remember vividly. Of course that was a 12 hour race rather than a four hour sprint like today's road race.

Time for the women's time trial. Interestingly, Kiesenhofer had been preparing for a while for this time trial (and not at all the road race), but didn't know Austria had a road race quota....and not a time trial one, so she did the road race :p

 

Didn't go bad at all.

    • Yes, PP is the most pro-European party there currently is. Before Radev stepped down as President and joined the running, PP was leading the polls after the big protests last December, as they were seen as the only real alternative to the corrupt status quo.    After Radev joined, PP lost around 10-15% of the votes, as those people were never true PP voters, but more anti GERB / DPS ones, so they gladly jumped ship to Radev.    The thing which led to the downfall of PP was that they thought they could rule with a strong European policy on the budget and wanted to reform many sectors, which people of course were against, because they wouldn't be able to leech off the system anymore. Plus they started ruling in the worst possible time, as it coincided with 2 major crises, the second year of Covid and the start of the Ukraine war.    There are many reasons why PP unfortunately lost support, but it is hard to explain it for non-Bulgarians. 
    • The Stoevi sisters are just amazing. It's a shame their accomplishments will always be in the shadows here, just because they are in a sport without much coverage, tradition, interest.    This is their 7th European title (5 ECH + 2 European Games) which is just one shy of Carolina Marin's all time record of 8th titles in a specific event. Plus it was their 6th consecutive final with only one loss in 2024 in this streak. 
    • I know that the PP was definitely pro-European and anti-Russian- they had a prime minister at the very beginning of the war in 2022. Unfortunately, GERB was always corrupt, although it remained in the EPP on EU Parlament all- time. The PP was probably the best option, but unfortunately, they seem to have lost a lot of public support recently.
    • Italy- Slovakia 6-4   An unnecessary black out at the some end, but we achieved our minimum goal – a secure stay at this division after 2 matches. After a 1-day break, we will play against France and Hungary for promotion. I still think Hungary are the favorites, but we can compete with them.
    • GERB actually aren't pro-Russian. They have always been pro-EU and Europe oriented and joining Shengen and the Eurozone happened in part because of them, though with a huge delay. They however have very well used the pro-EU stance to hide the rampant stealing of public funds and corruption surrounding their 10+ year ruling, which is the main reason people protested against them so many times. A bit Orban-esq they have also pretty much filled all institutions with their people, so it's hard to clean their mess.   Radev on the other hand has always been a pro-Russian proxy, though unlike Orban he is much more calculated with his words and actions. He is taking the "diplomatic" and "national" approach, though if you listen to his comments they are clearly favouring Russia.    Even though this guy was President for many years, that position is without much power here, so he hasn't had the chance to do much trouble. But he did manage to plant his seeds in many people's heads, as he always blamed whichever party was ruling for all the troubles in the country and many believe he is our new "saviour".    Compared to Hungary, the situation here is much more complex, as there isn't anyone as popular are Magyar and there are several strong parties, which always get practically the same number of votes.   Radev is surely winning, though the hopes are for the sane people to do damage control. But the truth is there aren't any many good choices, so it's going to be a lose-lose situation.    I don't expect a coalition to be formed, but it will depend on the number of parties passing the 4% threshold. So yeah, we are once again hitting the never-ending elections cycle, which the country has spun into since 2021.     
    • Awesome story > someone who is destroying cycling      
    • Memes starting everywhere    Oh ! Please Mr. the vicepresident please come to visit our country before our elections as well !
