  1. On the other hand, she might not be as strong on the track as she is now, when she has been 100% focused on the track for 2 years. She is also less exposed to injuries, etc. (for example, during Paris-Roubaix you can get injured and lose all season). I wonder if Lotte Kopecky or Elisa Balsamo trained 100% on the track for 1 year, would they be able to fight with Archibald?
  2. I think that: Italy, The Netherlands and Germany will be close to each other on medal table, just like in Tokio 2021. On the other hand, France will get a much better result because of being the host team.
  3. Great success for Miriam Vece: 2 QO in sprint and keirin
  4. A good sign for Italians. Looking at the current form of the Hungarians, we have a good chance of advancing to Elite, along with Slovenia.
  5. Looking at Mathilde Gros individual form, I cannot understand how France couldn`t advance to the Olympics in the women's team sprint. With such a leader, there was enough time to build a strong team around her.
  6. The competition will end only tonight at European time.
  7. Archibald, for example, is a phenomenon and on the road she meant nothing, but she is the only one now. Now the trend is to ride both on the road and on the track, except for ciclists in sprint and keirin. The French women regularly take part in road races, but they do rather poorly there, e.g. a similar situation was with Paternoster until this season. Balsamo, who started her career on the track, probably feels better actually on the road.
  8. 3rd qualification in tiro a segno: Sollazzo, Monna, Maldini. Still much worse than in Tokyo, but maybe something will come up. The biggest problem is with the women's team and has been for several years. In Tokyo there was only 1 qualification for Sofia Caccarello, and now 0 for now and it will be difficult to get any.
  9. They are part of the whole puzzle. Moreover, you need to use them regularly and in large quantities to absorb your opponent's attention. If you send even 50 Shaheds at once, it will do you no good.
  10. Israel is in a better situation than Ukraine because it has 100% US guarantees and better anti-aircraft protection. I don't think the Iranian Shahed drones that are effective in Ukraine will work here either.
  11. Drones are often used to detect enemy anti-aircraft protection and know where to strike with something stronger. This is how Russians often act in Ukraine.
  12. If Maldini advances from here tomorrow the Latvian will basically also be certain of promotion. I hope that!
  13. Strautmanis? He can advance for the rankings, but not yet.
  14. Maldini deserved to go to Paris but it won't be easy. He is 4th in the world ranking, so he must to advance here or overtake the Latvian in the last two World Cups. Unfortunately, France is weak in this competition and only 1st place in the world ranking. Don't say anything about the level of our girls, because it's a total disgrace... Italian shooting today is only Monna, Solazzo and Maldini. The female sector is practically non-existent
  15. I'm just worried about the final against the UK, which was a disaster for Italy. France was able to improve from run to run, Italy was not. I think that in the end, Paternoster will replace Alzini in the 4 for the team at least looking at the current form. In the road race, due to profile of course, Elisa Longo Borghini will 100% be the Italian leader, especially if she maintains her current high form.
  16. I mean that France doesn't currently have a top-class cyclist like Elisa Balsamo or even Chiara Consonni. The problem for the Italians is that they rarely train with each other due to the intense season on the road. Therefore, beating UK, which focuses 100% on the track is unlikely but fight of silver and bronze is still open. I hope that Marco Villa has planned it well and will have more time to work with the team before the Olympics. Balsamo and Consonni have a strong position in their teams and will certainly be allowed to train longer for the track.
  17. Canada's fastest time in the women's sprint was in qualifying and such a time would have given it a sure bronze medal in the finals. However, in the pursuit race they are simply weaker than Italy or France.
  18. Canada is certain to take bronze in the men's sprint. Italy is currently too weak to beat it.
  19. The plan has been done for Canada - 2 QOs have arrived, so there is nothing to get excited about. However, I`m worried about the poor form of the Italian women in the pursuit race - individually Balsamo and Consonni are in fantastic shape, but the team is not very well-coordinated With Great Britain, which focuses everything on the Olympics and its competitors only ride on the track, it1s difficult to win, but it`s already a worse time than France may be disturbing. France also has road racers and they are much less talented than the Italians.
  20. The Italians have no chance of winning gold in Paris Unfortunately, if you ride the entire season on the road, like Balsamo or Consonni, you can't beat the UK, which has Archibald focusing only on the track. The Italians would have to miss part of the road season to be able to fight for something big in Paris. And even any medal will be difficult to win, because New Zealand will come and France is close.
  21. https://www.repubblica.it/sport/vari/2024/04/11/news/chamizo_match_lotta_proteste_revisione_olimpiadi_parigi-422465353/
  22. They are 3 qualifies in Istambul, so he may have a repechage if, for example, he loses to a Salkazanov before final. What's worse is that Italian wrestling can only count on Chamizo to get the quota in Paris. The rest of the team is basically gone... One Chamizo won more fights today - 3, than the entire remaining Italian team combined - 2
  23. How do you see Chamizo chances against Bayramov in 1/2?
  24. Just because someone spends a lot of money badly does not mean that you have to reduce your funds and hope for a miracle. PSG also invests money poorly, but Man City is playing great with a lot of money. You definitely need to invest more in sports if you want to stay at the top of the class. medal
