TeamGB got a reaction from Olympicsnell in The Road to Milano-Cortina ‘26
Excellent skeleton results so far this season. 5 golds and 9 medals from 9 races. The men are racing tomorrow, but the Women now have a short Christmas break before the season resumes in Winterberg in Germany on January 2nd.
On the women's side, currently GB are occupying the second of the two slots for 3 Olympic qualifiers, which would be an amazing achievement given the men's squad have been comparatively stronger the last olympic cycle.
The way the qualifying system works is the top two nations with the 3rd highest ranked athlete are allocated 3 quotas. are almost certainly going to take one of those slots, leaving GB in a battle to secure the second.
Currently GB's 3rd ranked athlete is Freya Tarbit in 12th on 488 points.
The 's 3rd best is on 440 in 19th, although I believe she has more minor races counting towards her ranking which should be outweighed by world cup points.
no 3 is ranked 26th on 348.
Behind that the competition drops off rather steeply.
GB are in a good position and I hope they take all 3 quotas, as all 3 athletes are capable of medalling on their day. I will note however, that the next tracks are much more drivers tracks, so the start boost of the British athletes may not be a beneficial, but the same will be of the Chinese and Americans.

TeamGB got a reaction from mrv86 in Summer Olympic Games Los Angeles 2028 Early Qualification Predictions for your Nation
I remember giving this a go last time and being horribly off, maybe I'll be closer this cycle.
Aquatics:
Artistic swimming: I'm hoping the squad can build off a historic medal in Paris and potentially qualify a team. The desire seems to be there as a large squad entered at the worlds. Kate Shortman didn't compete in Singapore but Izzy Thorpe did, so if she finds a partner then I would expect a pair to enter. (2-8 athletes)
Diving: Like artistic swimming, the squad had a strong Paris performance and looks to be building towards LA with a mix of new and old faces in the worlds team. Again, I would expect a full squad, although numbers would vary due to doubling up between synchro and individual events (10-12 athletes)
Open water swimming: Hector Pardoe was the only participant in Singapore, and I suspect he will be in with a shout of LA if he wants to. Amelie Blocksidge could also qualify if she focuses more on the open water. (1-2 athletes)
Swimming: With the addition of stroke 50s, I'm hoping aquatics GB will lift the ridiculous roster cap of 30, especially with such a strong junior team coming through. The games could be a transitional for the swimming team, with the older generation passing on the torch (28-36 athletes)
Water Polo: 12 teams will now be competing in the Women's tournament, with gives us a sniff of qualification. Albeit the worlds performance didn't fill me with confidence, but the opportunity is certainly there if some of the big European nations snap up global qualifying spots. (0-11 athletes)
Archery: The team was certainly fortunate to qualify a full rota for Paris, and the odds are reduced this time with less team quotas. If we can find a decent male compound archer then the compound mixed team should be there, and both recurve squads have the ability (4-8 athletes)
Athletics: 63 went to Paris, 66 will go to Tokyo, and I expect the number to be similar in LA, potentially with a few relay additions for the mixed 4x100. Certainly at a European youth level, the team is consistently strong, so hopefully this will translate to the senior team in a few years. (60-75 athletes)
Badminton: A small team in Paris is likely to be repeated unless some new talent starts to emerge (1-5 athletes)
Baseball: European silver in 2023 shows the squad is in contention for a European spot, with automatic qualification for the WBC in 2026 giving more opportunity. I wouldn't say we are favourites but the opportunity is there. (0-24 athletes)
Softball: I would say this team is more likely than baseball but would still be up against it for European qualification, which is realistically the only route, Italy are the favourites but a single qualifier would make things interesting. (0-15)
Basketball: In terms of 5x5, both teams seemed to have regressed despite a growing domestic scene, so qualification is highly unlikely. For 3x3, recent entries at the Europeans gives me some hope we are at least trying to qualify, but they are still underdogs. (0-4 athletes)
Boxing: After Paris where my view that Olympic boxing is not fit for purpose was solidified by some rather dubious judging, I genuinely have no expectations for the team. Liverpool is hosting the worlds this year, and maybe with the implementation of World Boxing, the sport will improve. There will always be domestic strength across the home nations but it depends on so many factors. (5-10 athletes)
Canoe Slalom: Potentially this could be a fresh squad as the old guard moves on. U23 results have been promising, particularly with the Leaver siblings, so a full squad could certainly qualify. (3-4 athletes)
Canoe Sprint: After no athletes in Paris, I expect a similar storyline to unfolding in LA, although the women's K4 could certainly qualify (0-4 athletes)
Cricket: One of our biggest qualification boosts, both teams seem virtually pre qualified, especially the men's if world rankings are used. (30 athletes)
Cycling
Road: After being the only nation to qualify a full squad (although there was only 1 entrant in each time trial) in Paris, I expect a similar team in LA, although it will be tight for both men and women (6-8 athletes)
Track: There feels to be a constant influx of fresh talent in the track squads from junior level, so I expect a full track team like Paris (16 athletes)
BMX Freestyle: I think a similar team to Paris is on the cards although I wouldn't be surprised if 2 from a gender qualify (2-3 athletes)
BMX Racing: Despite most recent successes coming from Beth Shriever, the women's squad is much poorer than the men's. Despite this, I hope Emily Hutt can make the jump from U23 level (3-5 athletes)
Mountain Biking: A full squad is on the cards if Pidcock and Richards can score enough ranking points (3-4 athletes).
Equestrian: I expect a full squad comfortably. (9 athletes)
Fencing: Carolina Stutchbury was so close the qualifying to Paris and I hope she can make it this time (0-1 athletes)
Field Hockey: Despite a disappointing European's I expect the squads to bounce back in time for the LA (32 athletes)
Flag Football: 5th at the world games was strong for the women, but with only 6 teams it will be tight. I hope one squad can sneak through (0-10 athletes)
Football: Both teams clearly are capable of qualifying, but I suspect the men won't attempt. I am even doubtful about the women's as the argument to grow the game has subsided with recent successes (0-18 athletes)
Golf: A mixed team event should be straightforward qualification with our depth (4-5 athletes)
Artistic Gymnastics: Injury permitting, a full squad should qualify for both genders (8-10 athletes)
Trampoline Gymnastics: (2-3 athletes)
Judo: Paris was disappointing, and I don't think the squad is moving in the right direction (2-4 athletes)
Lacrosse: I still haven't quite worked out our strength but I think both squads should snag European quotas (22 athletes)
Modern Pentathlon: Depending on team limits I hope for a full squad, the new format may throw up some challenges (3-4 athletes)
Rowing: A steady stream of junior talent should help top up most of the lake events. Coastal rowing is not as strong but a full squad is still possible (40-48)
Rugby Sevens: Both squads seem to be winding down so I honestly have no idea. I hope the women's squad can take some strength from the 15s. (0-24)
Sailing: A full squad should be possible (14 athletes)
Shooting: Likely a similar team to Paris, with Shotgun dominating (5-10 athletes)
Skateboarding: (2-4 athletes)
Climbing: The separation of the events allows for more opportunities, and I expect a slightly larger team the Paris, likely entirely in Boulder and Lead (3-5 athletes)
Squash: Numbers permitting, we should qualify a full team (2 athletes)
Surfing: Sky Brown may qualify given she has lots of experience surfing in LA (0-1 athletes)
Table Tennis: (2-4 athletes)
Taekwondo: I'm not too sure because the qualification system is changing. (3-5 athletes)
Tennis: Being on a hard court may encourage more athletes to compete: (9-12 athletes)
Triathlon: A full womens team and 2 men for the relay (5)
Volleyball: Bello twins have potential (0-2)
Weightlifting: (0-3)
Pessimistic: 341
Likely: 403
(Very) Optimistic: 541
We sent 327 to Paris but with all the new team sports a jump seems certain. Passing 400 certainly seems feasible, but it all depends on team sports qualification pathways.

Shame for Angharad, looks like she's come down with the same thing as the US swimmers. I really thought she would be the one to break the fruitless spell for British female swimmers at this level.

If the rumours they use the 2026 T20 world cup are true (2028 would likely be too late for additional qualifiers), which is being hosted by then they would presumable take the top 4, and then have 2 qualifiers (or 1 if get a host spot). Top 2 from each group would thus qualify for the games.
Group A:
Group B:
I would say the favourites for group A are and , whilst for Group B it is and .
If were to get top 2 in group B, then that would throw up some added curveballs, but they would either arrange a specific Caribbean qualifier, or add another spot in the final qualifier.
Realistically, the final spot(s), are likely to be taken by or , with the depth in women's cricket falling quite sharply after the big nations.

found an article on the ICC general assembly that suggets that men's qualification will be based on continental rankings with highest place from europe (good news from my british perspective) asia, africa and oceania and USA getting a spot with a world qualifier for the last spot.
the women's will be based on T20 world cup qualification....i assume that is the world cup in england next year

TeamGB reacted to Gianlu33 in [OFF TOPIC] Politics Thread
Together with other friends of Volt, we launched a referendum in Italy to allow egalitarian marriage for same-sex couples in Italy. We expected very few signatures, instead we are at 70k signatures in a few days. We have three months to collect half a million signatures and get the referendum to the ballot box, but wow.

People like to blame religion, or a lack thereof, on conflict. (India vs Pakistan, Gaza), but actually some of the root causes are even more fundamental. The Kashmir region supplies a significant amount of water to both India and Pakistan, and as most people are aware, water is life. Both sides can dance around the bush blaming each other for terrorism, escalating conflict or religious persecution, but resources are the driving factor in this conflict, even if nobody want to admit it.
That is why it is vitally important that the fighting ceases, and significant international and diplomatic pressure is placed on both sides to revise the Indus Waters Treaty (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indus_Waters_Treaty), because the loss of life from drought, will be far more significant than successive border skirmishes and missile attacks we have seen currently.

Yeah, we have such a strong crop of Juniors, that we can’t take them all. They all have exciting trajectories but to predict what Junior swimmers will is always difficult. Better to let them all swim together at Juniors than rocketing them all up to seniors and swimming a prelim and going home.

GB preselected Matt Richards for the 200m free because he medalled in Paris, so there was only 1 spot for the event at trials. And predictably, Duncan Scott and James Guy tie for Gold, so no idea who will be given the nod.

Yes, but all the medley components qualified anyway so I imagine they will swim it. They also mistakenly announced that the 4x100 qualified so We’ll see what they do.

TeamGB got a reaction from Wumo in Swimming Discussion | Qualification to Summer Olympic Games Los Angeles 2028
I'll give it a shot.
On the mens side the freestyle results were pretty standard with the usual suspects of Ben Proud, Matt Richards and Duncan Scott swimming well. I don't think any of these guys were fully tapered and Proud didn't even shave for his 50m free win (21.67). 17 year old Jacob Mills came second in both the 50 and 100m free, so is on the team for Singapore. Tom Dean has only just got back into training but qualified in the 4x100 after being preselected in the 4x200 free.
James Guy looked impressive with a PB in the 200m free at 1:45.08. He also won the 400m free in a race where he went out way too fast and died at the end (3:46.64). The longer distances weren't notable.
Ollie Morgan was certainly stand out swimmer on the mens side sweeping the backstrokes for a 3rd straight year. He broke the national record in the 100m with a 52.12 with a pretty poor finish. He also impressed in the 200m with a 1:55.55
Without Peaty, the mens breaststroke was pretty poor, with Greg Butler only qualifying for the relay. 17 year olds Max Morgan and Filip Nowacki took home a few medals between them.
The Men's fly was also pretty pedestrian by international standards. Proud won the 50m in 23.21 with a long glide, whilst Ed Mildred took the relay spot in 51.80. 17 y.o Jack Brown was only 0.07 back Duncan Scott won the 200m (1:54.89) but he wont swim it in Singapore.
Scott took the mens 200m IM in 1:56.44, whilst, Max Litchfield won the 400m in 4:11.59
On the women's side the quality wasn't as good but there were a few standout performances.
Freya Colbert got close to the British record in the 200m free in 1:55.76, and Eva Okaro impressed with a 24.48 50m free.
The backstrokes were disappointing with nobody breaking a minute in the 100 (1:00.03), but Katie Shanahan looked good in the 200 at (2:07.91)
Angharad Evans was rapid in the breaststrokes breaking the national record in the 100 (1:05.37), and a huge PB in the 200 (2:21.86)
Fly was poor with nobody breaking 58 in the 100 (58.03), but Macinnes broke the Scottish record in the 200 (2:07.14)
Abbie Wood swept the Medleys with a 2:08.85 200 and a 4:36.66 400
Overall the results were alright with a few strong standout performances. As is the case in a post olympic year, the big guns took it fairly easy whilst some juniors looked really promising.

I don't think any of these guys were fully tapered and Proud didn't even shave for his 50m free win (21.67). 17 year old Jacob Mills came second in both the 50 and 100m free, so is on the team for Singapore. Tom Dean has only just got back into training but qualified in the 4x100 after being preselected in the 4x200 free.
James Guy looked impressive with a PB in the 200m free at 1:45.08. He also won the 400m free in a race where he went out way too fast and died at the end (3:46.64). The longer distances weren't notable.
Ollie Morgan was certainly stand out swimmer on the mens side sweeping the backstrokes for a 3rd straight year. He broke the national record in the 100m with a 52.12 with a pretty poor finish. He also impressed in the 200m with a 1:55.55
Without Peaty, the mens breaststroke was pretty poor, with Greg Butler only qualifying for the relay. 17 year olds Max Morgan and Filip Nowacki took home a few medals between them.
The Men's fly was also pretty pedestrian by international standards. Proud won the 50m in 23.21 with a long glide, whilst Ed Mildred took the relay spot in 51.80. 17 y.o Jack Brown was only 0.07 back Duncan Scott won the 200m (1:54.89) but he wont swim it in Singapore.
Scott took the mens 200m IM in 1:56.44, whilst, Max Litchfield won the 400m in 4:11.59
On the women's side the quality wasn't as good but there were a few standout performances.
Freya Colbert got close to the British record in the 200m free in 1:55.76, and Eva Okaro impressed with a 24.48 50m free.
The backstrokes were disappointing with nobody breaking a minute in the 100 (1:00.03), but Katie Shanahan looked good in the 200 at (2:07.91)
Angharad Evans was rapid in the breaststrokes breaking the national record in the 100 (1:05.37), and a huge PB in the 200 (2:21.86)
Fly was poor with nobody breaking 58 in the 100 (58.03), but Macinnes broke the Scottish record in the 200 (2:07.14)
Abbie Wood swept the Medleys with a 2:08.85 200 and a 4:36.66 400
Overall the results were alright with a few strong standout performances. As is the case in a post olympic year, the big guns took it fairly easy whilst some juniors looked really promising.
