Road Cycling Qualification to Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympic Games


Recommended Posts

Eh...missing the only chance to qualify directly doesn't make someone less legitimate as a contender, otherwise we should say the same about athletes like Eleftherios Petrounias or Aurelie Muller

Well if he was a legitimate medal contender, he'd have finished in the top 10 at the worlds and qualified that way.  It's not that big a deal IMO 

Not everyone gets the peak right every time.

That has more to do with the qualification system. Just because a nation has good road cyclists doesn't mean they are good in the time trial (or vice versa). Alternatively they should have given continent quotas like they did in road cycling.

Jungels has never finished higher than 10th at any world championship time trial. He wasn't a medal contender next year

 

Japan getting the spot ahead of Luxembourg is no big deal

 

Just like it would be no big deal if Latvia pipped Luxembourg to that 30th spot and they get in

It's Iran. :p

 

And Jungels is very much capable of getting a top-end TT result, at any Grand Tour.

It isn't a grand tour though.  The world championships time trial is a closer marker for the Olympics and I stand by my comment he isn't a medla contendor

 

And the point about Latvia, Iran etc is that Luxembourg might get zero ITT spots anyway, and that's not a big deal either way

no ranking yet?

I think we can expect no ranking update until Monday - the World Ranking will be published as it will be on Monday and the Olympic one will be published as it is today. Or maybe they're adding points from races from Tuesday according to the last time zone (GMT -12), no matter if there was any there and the Olympic ranking will be published tomorrow.

    • That's so they can play in both venues in Canada.  Will mean that the UEFA Path A winner has to go from Toronto to Los Angeles and then up to Seattle.   Someone was bound to draw the short straw in that group since 4 of the matches are Central, but 2 are in Santa Clara.  Unfortunately, that's Algeria.

    • 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   
    • Strange schedule  16 june , vs Argentina in kansas city 22 june vs Jordan in san Francisco  27 june vs Austria in kansas city    the Distance San francisco- Kansas 2500km , so they fly 5000km to play 3 matchs
