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

We lose an, at the very least, potential outsider in favor of someone who is forever away. Then again, we all know the Olympics isn't the strongest competition in most sports.

YES! Rumours about finish being on Fuji Speedway were true.

And there's always a possibility that they removed Olympic rankings because they realized it was different from the World rankings, even though it was not supposed to be. :p

Also, I can spot some inconsistencies in the World rankings. How come Austria is 14th? They were 18th in the latest Olympic rankings. Such rise is suspect at least, as they didn't get any Top 3 result last week.

 

Maybe not all races counted for Olympic rankings.

Expand  

 

Wouldn't be the first time. I don't remember what, but some cock-up was spotted before the final ranking for the Worlds and it sounded like that wasn't a first either.

It's interesting to check how many individuals have qualified for women's road race over the years...

 

2008 - 6 cyclists

2012 - 10 cyclists

2016 - 12 cyclists

2020 - 17 (!) cyclists

 

So... This Individual Top 100 rule is not aging well... At all. :d So much so that in 2020 only 6 nations will have more than 2 cyclists. :wacko:

To be fair, the men would have a similar issue if 18 nations weren't automatically given a quota. If the same thing happened to the women (ranks 23-40 qualified one athlete). Only three nations would have used the individual quota.

So the only Iranian cyclist in Tokyo can start both in Road Race and ITT ? :d what's the point, I would reject the quota and stick with one event to at least finish the road race.

 

and btw when they were writing the rules. they didn't expect much difference between 30th in the ranking and the replacement (in this case Iran) Luxembourg could easily finish 29th instead of 30th if they were good enough.

 

I would be happy if South Korea could qualify in women's Road race (either through ranking or individual ranking) that could let Iran to qualify a female cyclist for the first time ever. unfortunately didn't happen :(

      Spring Nationals, Day #2   sleepy and somehow disappointing day in Riccione...until the last individual race of the day, when the unthinkable happened: the next big thing in Italian swimming revealed herself well earlier than expected    Alessandra Mao, in fact, despite being only 14 (not even sure she already turned 14, actually), won the National title over the women's 200m freestyle in 1.58.86    given that she basically doesn't have a decent start nor turns and she's not doing any power training in the gym yet, I hope (and think) she has room to become a world star in the next few years   Today's other champions:   women's 50m back: Sara Curtis, 27.90   men's 50m fly: Lorenzo Gargani, 23.32   women's 100m fly: Costanza Cocconcelli, 58.04   men's 100m breastroke: Nicolò Martinenghi, 59.16 (world champ qualifying time...good to see the Olympic champion back on track, despite not in his best shape both mental and physical); in the same race, Ludovico Blu Art Viberti slept big time in the morning heats and was forced to swim in the B Final, which he won in 59.04 (but since he didn't do it in the A final, the time is not accepted as a world qualifier for now)   women's 200m breaststroke: Francesca Fangio, 2.23.67 (only 7/100 of a second outside the world champs qualifying time)   men's 100m back: Christian Bacico, 53.61
