    Women's Team Sprint:
    1.) 
    2.) 
    3.) 
     
    Reasoning:
     

     
    Although not currently in a qualifying position, I think ultimately Canada will dislodge France after the last couple of qualifying events are completed. 
     
    Based on the team's average times taken across the '23 season and the '24 qualifying events completed to date, GB and Germany are clearly ahead of the rest of the field. GB have generally come out on top in qualifying - the exceptions being the 2 continental championships - but I don't see any reason they wouldn't do so again in Paris.
     
    China and Netherlands have managed to put a bit of distance over the rest of the field and whilst China currently have the edge, the Dutch team have been closing the gap and could establish themselves as the 3rd ranked team by the time we get to Paris.
     
    For the rest of the field, there's not a huge difference in their average times. I am giving the nod to Canada and New Zealand because I think they have the potential to make the most progress before Paris. Mexico is probably the weakest team in the field - their position in the rankings list is flattered by their win in Milton last year against a weakened field.
     
    In the head-to-heads in Round 1, there could be a surprise in the first 2 heats, but nothing I've seen in current form suggests that is really likely. 
     
    In the medal races, much as I would like to call it for GB, I think the head-to-head currently favours Germany. I've posted elsewhere that I think the key to a GB win will be with Sophie Capewell as the second-line rider - if she can hand over to Finucane within 0.2 seconds, then the GB team would be favourite for the title.
     
    In the bronze final, the head-to-head would be in favour of China - they came out on top in Glasgow at the worlds and repeated that in Hong Kong last week.

    The result of that is that will have to do the relay with the line-up with which they got a 3rd place in the World Cup, followed by a win, a win and another win. Plus without Schulting the chance of actually getting a result is bigger anyway

    According to the start list, Lavreysen was on the team. On the detailed result page it turns out Lavreysen was replaced by Kool.
     
    But still a bummer for the Dutch team. Even with Kool in the team, they really could have finish a 0.75 faster at least. According to Dutch media the last days the Dutch team really wanted to show Asutralia that they are still the number one. Therefore I don't understand that Lavreysen was replaced just before the start.
     
    Well, let's see how fast the Australians can go. I predict 41.5/41.6 or so. 
  8. Wow!
    CCB got a reaction from Josh in Track Cycling UCI Nations Cup 2024   
    Well, I expected a defeat for the Dutch sprinters, but not that gap to Australia and a 9th place. Even no qualification for the second round. 
    Lavreysen slower than Richardson and Hoogland way slower than Glaetzer.

    Hopefully the Dutch bullet train will continue their winning streak in the men's teamsprint. But I'm afraid that Australia has now really become better than The Netherlands. The winner of this World Cup has a big mental advantage towards Paris.

    Does anyone know where you can find an overview of the extensive Olympic rankings? And where you can see how a team's points total is structured. You could follow this at other Olympic Games via various sites, but this year I can't find anything about it.
     
    Good job from Boermans and De Groot. In beachvolleyball they are the biggest medal hope for The Netherlands in Paris. If they make Paris, they only played 8 tournaments and Boermans is injured every now and then.

    Saturday she will face Chelsey Heinen of , The winner of the bout will qualify to the Olympics, the loser will have one more chance in the Small Final. (Remember, Slovakia did never qualify in Womens Boxing under the five rings before. Would be absolutely amazing if she could do it and rewrite the history of our sport, but, it will be very difficult and she will need definitely also some good luck on her side)

    Our gold medal tally in recent world championships is heavily inflated, I fear Bol won't win the 400mH and 4x400m when McLaughlin is present (at least not both) and I don't see Steenbergen winning the 100m and 4x100m when Mollie O'Callaghan is back.

    But predicting upsets is also....on the edge. Once people mention someone as a possible surprise, that person is barely still a possible surprise  The real surprises and upsets are those winners who nobody mentioned as possible winners, outsiders or anything.
