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.

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

Or they made it invisible as to avoid spoilers :banana:

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.

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 :(

    • River Flow in the Fitzroy River, Rockhampton: Olympics/Paralympics Rowing/Canoe Venue With some concerned with river flow unfairly affecting some rowers/canoe paddlers more than others in both types of races, Rockhampton Regional Council said the months of July and August, when the Olympic/Paralympic competitions will be held traditionally saw the least need for the Fitzroy Barrage to open in response to river flows. Queensland Senator Matt Canavan also says: “Rowing authorities, who wanted the rowing held elsewhere, have raised the issue of the streamflow of the Fitzroy river, but this question has locals scratching their heads as much as the crocodile hype has.” “The Olympic Games are due to be held in winter, and Rockhampton gets barely any rain then.” “A recent hydrological study of the Fitzroy concluded that the river falls to almost zero flow in the winter months.” “World rowing rules state that courses should have no significant current, which is generally interpreted as a streamflow velocity of 0.1m per second or less to ensure fairness across lanes.” “Data from the Fitzroy River shows that in July and August (when the Games will occur) flow rates are below this threshold 99.9 per cent of the time.” “Indeed, the average flow rate at this time of year is half the recommended threshold. And this data is from a gauge upstream of a weir. The flow rates at the rowing course will be even lower than this.” “World rowing authorities have also been flexible on these rules for the Los Angeles games in 2028.” “The rowing in LA will occur at the Marine Stadium at Long Beach.” “This rowing course is connected to the ocean and affected by tides.” “Flow rates in the waters surrounding the course (in LA) have been measured at up to 0.2m per second, double the recommended threshold.” “Marine Stadium at Long Beach has been approved despite this.” “And the rowing course in LA will be the shortest in Olympic history at just 1500m, rather than the standard 2000m.” “Unlike LA, the Fitzroy River is not impacted by tides because barrages control flows from the ocean.” “And, unlike LA, neither the streamflow rules nor the length of the course will need to be compromised to hold Olympic rowing at Rockhampton.” * * * * * * So both World Rowing and the International Canoe Federation (ICF) will need to do their inspections and technical assessments during July/August which is when the Olympic/Paralympic competitions will be held.   * * * * * *    The actual Rockhampton Rowing Course for racing is in this link.  
    • No Crocodile Concerns - Olympic Rowing Course, Fitzroy River - Rockhampton   From ABC News Australia:   Crocodile farm owner John Lever, who has been working with the animals for more than 40 years, said the population in the river should not be a concern and could be managed. "I think we have to look at it sensibly. It's a great opportunity ... it's a fabulous river," Mr Lever said.   "Crocodiles are most active at night and there won't be night-time activities. Crocs are actively feeding at the water's edge and the rowing will be held over deep water."   Mr Lever is a long-time advocate of the government re-categorising the stretch of the river where rowing is held as an active removal zone to have crocodiles surveyed, trapped and removed.   He said crocodiles were less active in winter when the Olympics were expected to be held (in July/August winter time).   "You're more likely to get hit by a bus on the way to the boat ramp than you are to be taken by a croc," he said.   "In the winter time when the water temperatures go right down, the crocodiles become lethargic and don't eat much because they can't digest food.”
