  1. Great result for but Daley did look a little rusty in his individual 10m dive. Only to be expected though at what I think is his first international competition since Tokyo.
  2. Did Australia go to the wrong step of the podium during the medal ceremony for team event? I always assumed that the bronze medalists were on the on right hand side with silver medalists on the left hand side.
  3. Equipment failure for in final of women's team sprint but even if that hadn't happened, have looked great across all 3 rounds and got quicker each time they took to the track.
  4. take the win in women's team pursuit. left themselves with just too much to down in the last few laps.
  5. Team sprint 1st rounds completed and in the absence of Germany, women looking good for gold although posted their fastest time in a couple of years so GB can't take it for granted. GB's men's sprint squad continue to be the weak link in the squad - although they won their heat, they were barely any quicker than they were in qualifying and were the only winning team that failed to break the 43 second barrier.
  6. Very quick back of a fag packet calculation and I am tired so this could be wrong..... If win the men's team pursuit final then I think they would move up into 5th place in the Olympic rankings overtaking not only , but also and . They'd also be ahead of , but they still have their continental championship to come in the next few weeks so it would be temporary.
  7. men team pursuit into gold final with time of 3:48.996 - just under a second ahead of . It's a good time without being great - at world champs last year it would have got them into the bronze medal match-up - but you have to think they still have more in the tank for the final. Really surprised by - it just hasn't clicked for them today despite have Ganna in the squad and after a relatively poor qualifying, they came off second best against so will race for bronze. Think all GB cycling fans can breathe sigh of relief safe in the knowledge that the pursuit squad are very much back in a qualifying spot for Paris.
  8. GB men up against New Zealand in the 1st round of the men's team pursuit with 3 of the 4 NZL riders being on the team in Glasgow when they won the bronze medal. It may not be the strongest field overall, but we should still get some pretty good indications of who is going to be in the mix for medals when it comes to Paris.
  9. Women's team pursuit finals - v for gold. New Zealand posting fastest time at 4:09.259 compared to 4:11.438 for GB. Bronze final should be v with both teams riding a 4:15.
  10. Yep - same squad that took bronze at Europeans and yeah they are safe for the quota but think they would have been hoping for a better ride given their recent form.
  11. Disappointing run for women pursuit team after their great performance at Europeans. They finish 3.444 seconds behind in their 1st round match-up.
  12. Looks like Poland are up against Japan in the 1st round - that's a winnable match up for Poland if they can show the form that they had in the Europeans.
  13. If it was a technical issue they would have been entitled to restart. If it was rider error then they wouldn't get restart and I would have thought they would have still ridden through the full distance because with their quality, they probably could still have done enough to get into top 8. It's bloody annoying not having any video or text commentary to see what the hell is going on
  14. Canada likely to fail to make it through to round 1 so at least at this event, Poland will outscore them.
  15. It is going to be interesting to see how 's men get on in the team sprint. They just missed out on bronze medal in Glasgow to and then were beaten for bronze at the Europeans by . Hopefully with a weaker field, they can get their act together and get back on the podium in Adelaide.
  16. The reports are showing as DSQ so pretty sure that their second rider crossed the line before the first rider had completed their lap. Have a feeling the same thing happened to GB at the London Olympics in 2012.
  17. I don't think so - because they've been recorded as REL I am assuming they have been deemed to have had an illegal change over between the riders.
  18. Not sure what has happened in Women's Team Sprint qualifying but it looks like are topping the table as the only nation to dip under 47 seconds. seem to have had an issue and are relegated.
  19. Had to do some digging on this as I wasn't sure but then couldn't find the answer in the track regulations manual so I have looked back at what happened in Milton last year when Canada had 2 teams in the pursuit. My understanding is that only the top ranked team scores the points - so I am assuming that will be A. Then for the purposes of the Olympic ranking points, it is as if B isn't there and everyone who finishes behind them moves up 1 place.
  20. If finish higher than 5th in Adelaide, they will overtake in the Olympic qualifying rankings.
  21. men team pursuit finish qualifying in 2nd place behind A who clocked a 3:51.203. GB will now be up against in the 1st round later on. Not sure what happened with - they seemed to be having a great run for the first couple of kms but faded in the second half to finish qualifying in 4th place with a 3:53.553. and both miss out on the 1st round and will finish 8th and 9th respectively for Olympic ranking points.
  22. men's team pursuit finish qualifying with 3:52.509 and now have to wait for the rest of the field to go although they do know that they have qualified for the 1st round. By comparison, their time is about 3 seconds slower than their qualifying time from last month's European Champs.
  23. women top qualifying for team pursuit with a 4:12.311 ahead of in second 4:13.637 and A team in third with 4:14.566. In terms of times, GB and New Zealand were both around 2 second slower than they recorded at Glasgow World Champs. unlucky to miss out on a place in the first-round finishing in 9th place but will be awarded 8th place when it comes to Olympic ranking points.
  24. Seems a bit surprising that haven't entered the team event this time around having been entered in 2022 and 2023. Whilst I didn't expect them to qualify for Paris, it would have been good to see the squad make further progress.
  25. Anyone know if this is being broadcast in UK? Can't see anything on Eurosport or the Discovery+ App.
