  1. Points are awarded based on final placing. NOCs need to get into top 8 to progress to next round though
  2. Women's Team Sprint round 1 match-ups: v v v v
  3. Yes - the Tissot site is down but the UCI site was still working. qualify as 2nd fastest whilst were down in 6th
  4. Eyes down for the big races - qualifying for team sprints with Olympic quotas on the line.
  5. 4 seconds faster than the rest of the field. They'll race against in round 1. were second and will ride against the other first round match-ups are v and v
  6. Great qualifying run from with a 03:47.097. That's going to take some beating in this field but probably would be 3rd/4th at an Olympics if the times from Tokyo are anything to go by.
  7. CORRECTION: After a great spot from @Adriano, need to make a couple of changes Women's Endurance events Women's Team Pursuit: Confirmed Quotas: Women's Madison: Confirmed Quotas from Team Pursuit: Safe Individual Quotas: Missed out Denmark from initial post who are actually the safes of all the individual quotas! Anyhow, net effect is that there should be no contested quotas in the event. Women's Omnium: Confirmed Quotas from Team Pursuit: Expected Quotas from Madison: Safe Individual Quotas: Continental Quota: Contested Quotas: - 2015.50 ----------------- - 1854.50 Czechia have quite a high bar in order for them to be able to increase their points total as they would need to finish 9th or better but it's not any easier for Spain because although they have a lower discard score, in order to be able to overtake Czechia they would need to finish at least 10th. Czechia should therefore be safe for the final quota.
  8. Bello brothers can't seem to get away from the Cuban pairing of Diaz & Alayo - they've been draw in the same group after losing out to them in the round of 18 last week and in the semi-final the week before.
  9. 2024 Tissot UCI Track nations Cup - Milton | Schedule | Tissot Timing
  10. Will be interesting to see how men go in the team pursuit qualifying given their starting position of 7th from 12. They'll need to put down a really solid time to get a top 2 position for round 1.
  11. top qualifying for women's team pursuit with 04:10.815 ahead of on 04:11.417. GB will face in round 1 whilst Italy face . Other 1st round matches should be v and v
  12. World Rowing World Cup I - Varese Men's Sweep Results from Day 1: Men's Eight: - 05:31.77 - FA (1) - 05:37.53 - 05:47.42 (2) - 05:51.21 - 05:32.48 - FA - 05:36.91 - 05:41.96 Men's Four: - 05:57.91 - FA - 05:58.01 - FA - 06:00.71 - 06:01.01 - 06:05.61 (1) - 05:57.32 - FA - 05:58.40 - FA - 06:03.27 - 06:08.93 (2) - 06:13.55 Men's Pair (1) - 06:29.56 - FA - 06:31.92 (2) - 06:34.78 - 06:36.91 (2) - 06:44.28 (2) - 06:48.92 - 06:33.32 - FA - 06:37.05 (1) - 06:38.83 (1) - 06:43.48 - 07:06.92
  13. Last thoughts - on women's sprint events: Women's Team Sprint: Confirmed Quotas: Contested Quotas: - 5403.75 ----------------- - 4852.50 As with the men's evet, this will be close and will likely come down to whoever is able to finish highest in Milton this weekend. Beyond being hometown favourites, Canada have the added advantage of only counting 1 2024 NC event whereas France have 2. This means that France need to finish higher than 7th in order to improve their ranking points total. On an adjusted basis, Canada have a lead of around 170 points so France would need to finish at least 3 places higher than Canada to secure the quota. With a reduced field in Milton, Canada should be able to do enough to take the quota. Individual Sprint/Keirin 2 Individual Quotas Through Team Sprint: (16) Individual Quotas - Sprint: (6) Continental Quota: (1) Belgium have a 500 point lead over for the last quota spot - probably too much to be made up in Milton. Individual Quotas - Keirin: (6) Contested Quota: - 2254.50 --------------- - 2185 - 2176 Malaysia should be safe in the last quota - the three nations are all pretty equally matched in terms of their results to date and realistically Spain or Hong Kong would likely need a top-10 finish to really stand chance of moving up the ranking.
  14. 5 British wheelchair athletes will be competing in Boston Marathon on Monday - David Weir, Johnboy Smith, Simon Lawson, Sean Frame and Eden Rainbow Cooper.
  15. Penn Relays take place 25-27 April and are beginning to confirm the elite entries for their Olympic Development series. Kyle Langford will be going in the men's 800m. No Brits scheduled to compete in either the women's 800m or 1500m.
  16. Another couple of Brits confirmed for action later this month, this time at the 2024 Drake Relays (24-27 Apr) Adam Fogg will go in the 800m whilst Lizzie Bird will compete in the 3000m Steeple.
  17. Think we've got pretty much the top options there for the 4x400s with the exception on Anning who probably wouldn't be available due to college commitments. The women's 4x100 is pretty solid - can easily see 4 of them being on the start list of the heats when it comes to Paris but the men's selections are........interesting Have to say I wasn't expecting to see Kilty in the squad and figured that the squad had moved on from his era. His selection is even more surprising given the inclusion of Ujah in the squad as Kilty blames Ujah for losing his Olympic medal and was on record saying he would never forgive Ujah for his reckless and sloppy behaviour. Add in Prescod who accused UKA of emotional blackmail in the run up to Budapest last year and the squad becomes a tinderbox just waiting for a spark to cause an explosion.
  18. Previewing the sprint events is going to be more complicated than the endurance side of things but here's my thoughts for what they are worth. Men's Team Sprint: Confirmed Quotas: Contested Quotas: - 4552.50 --------------------- - 4530 - 4507.50 Both Poland and Canada should overtake Czechia in Milton as they are both only counting 1 2024 NC event whereas Czechia has 2 and would need to finish higher than 7th in order to increase their score. The final quota should therefore come down to a straight shoot-out between Poland and Canada. Whoever finishes higher in the event in Milton will take the quota. In the head-to-heads during the qualifying window, Poland have outperformed Canada in 3 out of the 4 times they have both competed, but the teams are generally well matched. At last year's Milton Nations Cup event, Canada got their best result when finishing 4th. Given the strength of the line-ups we have in Milton this year, it is unlikely they will replicate that, but it is still possible that the home crowd advantage could propel them to a strong finish. Personally, I am not sure how this one is going to play out but if I have to pick a side, I'd say that Poland likely has the edge. Individual Sprint / Keirin: 2 Individual Quotas Confirmed Through Team Sprint: (16) Individual Quotas - Sprint: (5) Continental Quota: (1) Contested Quotas - Sprint: - 2697 ------------------ - 2438.50 I've been asked previously whether I think there is a chance for to get an individual quota if they miss out on the team sprint and I have said no, but having done a deeper dive on the numbers, I may have changed my mind, and I can see a (narrow) path for them to get the last quota in the individual sprint. Canada are currently about 250 points behind Colombia - but they have a NC event in hand. If they can finish at least 13th in Milton, they would be able to overtake Colombia and move into the final quota spot assuming that Colombia don't add to their points total. If Colombia finish higher than 13th, then Canada will need to ensure that they finish above them in order to be able to secure the quota. Given the field, it will be tough and a lot will depend on where everyone finishes in the qualifying run. Individual Quotas - Keirin: (7) The Keirin field looks pretty set - Thailand has gap of about 330 points over and I don't see that closing in Milton. In addition to this, we may also see some quota reallocations in the sprint events as I don't think Israel and Suriname will be able to field 2 riders. I'm not sure how the logistics of that will play out. We could see and in the mix to receive reallocated quotas.
  19. Something's not quite adding up on these KJT results so treat them with caution. They were sourced from her performance page at World Athletics but when I checked Po10 they're not included and I've just had chance to cross reference the event's results for other British performances and she isn't listed there. Think I may have been taken in by WA's fake news
  20. This comes across as a rather sad and desperate attempt to justify the changes being made to the sport Pierre de Coubertin speaks to the evolution of the Modern Pentathlon | Union Internationale de Pentathlon Moderne (UIPM) (uipmworld.org)
  21. No on the start lists for round 5 of UEX BMX Racing European Cup . Sienna Harvey is competing in the women's juniors, but this would have been perfect opportunity for her to take the step up to the under-23 and score some ranking points for the team.
  22. Shanghai Diamond League Start Lists confirmed today - not a huge amount of interest. Leg 2 - Shanghai/Suzhou (27-Apr) Megan Keith - 5000m Ethan Hussey - 800m Daryll Neita - 200m
  23. Not sure there was much in the way of an announcement, but it looks like the Gb squad for the Europeans at the end of this month is: Sam Hall - 66Kg Charlie Young - 66Kg Lachlan Moorhead - 81Kg Jamal Petgrave - 90Kg Rhys Thompson - 100Kg Oliver Barratt - 100Kg Nekoda Smythe-Davis - 57Kg Lele Nairn - 57Kg Lucy Renshall - 63Kg Katie-Jemima Yeats-Brown - 70Kg Kelley Peterson- Pollard - 70Kg Emma Reid - 78Kg
  24. Couple of athletes returning to action shortly Holly Bradshaw - up to 12 step takeoff and her first competition scheduled for mid May in Germany according to her Instagram. Niamh Emerson - competes in Loughborough on 20th April in long jump, shot put and 100m hurdles. Abigail Irozuru - competes in long jump at Louoghborough.
