    She is probably the bookmakers favourite in all 3 but if you break it down I'd estimate her chances right now at: Team Sprint 50-60% Individual Sprint 65-75% Keirin - 25%-30%
  2. RussB
    As it stands I think you have to take Becky on the uneven bars and hope she makes the final.

    As an add on; the Gadirova twins were just on the BBC coverage. Jen said it “would be hard” for either of them to make Paris and it generally didn’t sound like either is targeting it right now. Jess did mention she is moving into the next stage of her recovery, finishing the Strength work she has been doing lately.
  4. RussB
    She has had many disappointing results in the event despite her successes in the individual sprint over the past 2 years, tactically she has appeared to get caught out so I don’t think a “favourite” tag can be said with any degree of certainty. Come Paris this event could be really wide open. However, there is a chance that if she arrives in dominating form she could feasibly go for all 3 titles.

    Finucane dominating her Kierin semi final (quite a loaded semi with Gros and Friedrich) is exciting to see. She should be a contender in Paris. Will be hoping to take the form into the final and win the competition here.

    It’s just a really unfortunate set of circumstances. Still, on the positive side, Ondine still has a chance at a minor medal in the all around. She would need to put together the competition of her life but she should be in the mix.

    Megan Keith is a very exciting talent - so pleased she has made the time so early on this year !

    From all of their injuries it would seem Poppy Stickler has the best chance of making it back, from the vertebrae and hip issues. Jess with an ACL surgery in December I don’t see how she can be ready for selection in June. Jen’s recovery seems harder to gauge as it has taken longer than expected, perhaps slightly more hope for her than her sister

    On the women's side Ondine scores a 55.9 which is competitive (would have placed 4th at World's last year), but beyond that...Rebecca Downie hits a 14.350 on uneven bars to boost her chances. No Kinsella. Ruby Evans takes 2nd with 53.2 and Abigail Martin 3rd with 52.450. Clear that without the Gadirova twins the GB women are light, such a shame.

    His second vault got a 14.8 so absolutely cost him the all round. Jarman ‘s floor is competitive in an individual final… such a high ceiling if he has a routine that is clean
  11. RussB
    Joe manages a 14.250! Better
  12. RussB
    Strong p bars from Joe (14.700) and Jake (14.650), Max score adjusted downwards to a 14.150 on the app
  13. RussB
    It seems from my perspective that the team is looking like: Fraser Jarman Hepworth Whitlock and Gianni (if he was fit) or Hall/ Tulloch (if not)
  14. RussB
    Tulloch only a 14.3 on rings.
  15. RussB
    My interpretation is that he feels quite assured of a place in the team to be managing his workload at Champs…
  16. RussB
    Harry Hepworth with a 14.650 on rings is more positive news.
  17. RussB
    Is there a broadcast available to watch for UK viewers? I watched round 1 on Discovery plus but there doesn't seem to be any available feed for Hong Kong? The results indicated that Friedrich got given race 1 on a deadheat with Emma winning the next two. She should be able to take down Gros in the final from recent form...I hope she can deliver a good result in the Kierin too...with her speed she should be competitive in a very open Olympic event
  18. RussB
    My comment is limited to team sprint. The men's kierin looks likely to go to Harry but the women's is really open.
  19. RussB
    So you have Germany as favs for the team sprint in Paris right now? I’d very much prefer to be backing the GB horse at this moment in time. Feels like they are progressing and on an upward curve. the value of “favs” tag this far out is limited though I concede, somebody has to be favourite !
  20. RussB
    Seems to be a swelling of support for Switzerland’s entry by Nemo. up to a clear second on ESC scoreboard and odds tightening all the time into 7/1 (roughly 3rd fav) listening to it you can see why, vocally very challenging and I think could score very well with juries and hold their own with the public.
  21. RussB
    Impressive from the GBR sprint ladies to convincingly beating GER, feels like they have moved to favourites for Paris with Marchant on lead off.
  22. RussB
    It’s looking that way. A few individual finals possible but I’m not sure where a medal would come from
  23. RussB
    Does anyone actually know what the situation is with Ngamba and whether she is still being considered to represent GB or is her only avenue as a Refugee given the citizenship has not been granted yet? there is a video feature of her on Olympics.com which she seemed to be intimating she was only focused on the refugee route.

    Let's be honest, they are both long shots for a medal. Accordingly, we do disagree purely because for either to medal you will need a significant jump on entry times. I view there being more of a higher ceiling in the medley than I do the 4x1. Would require big jumps by Keanna and Evans, and I would hope Cox can crack 58s by the time Paris comes round.
