Rio Olympics XCO

[EmptyB]

My German is terrible but I could kinda figure out what the writer was saying. Sad she's got back problems but so did cricketers Mike Atherton (England) and Michael Clarke (Australia) and they had pretty good careers. Management will have to Jolanda's watchword going forward. Ultimately an athlete gets judged on the big days and so far she's failed but, and it's a huge but, she has the talent to turn it around. Just needs a good team around her to help with the planning. She's can, and will, win World's at some point along with an Olympic medal!

Jenny is a machine. Such a calculated race for a 22 year old!

Hope so ...

 

Maybe she needs her back sorted out .. like Danny Mac, who had a back op to sort his problems at some fancy pants place in the USA.

Not sure. If she wants to grow and become the best racer she can she's definitely going to have to make that change. It would be in her best interests.

Anyone know if her dad still coaches her?

To get rid of the twin monkeys called world's and olympics.

My thoughts exactly. Quite a while ago I said I thought it was time to cut the chord. He could take her an U23 title, but maybe it's time for a new coach.

He has brought her this far and it's great, but she is going to need some changes and someone to take her further.. look as Annika, the moment she started working with Sauzer she just improved in leaps and bounds.. mental training is also incredibly important..

 

There is no doubt that she is an incredibly talented rider, but all those ladies are talented, and talent can only take you that far.

Yup and I'm sure her dad must see that now too...

17h30 SA time, like the Ladies yesterday

Ok thanks. SA time is same as Spanish time.

 

So it's on at 12:30 BRT, not 17:30 BRT

I am sure he does, if he doesn't then therein lies the problem [emoji6]

And now attention shifts to the men.. now nino has been very coy... not too many pic of him out training..

 

Big day for him.. the only gold missing from his incredible achievements.

And what can Sagan do? Hope he has a good race with no incidents .

Hope he does well...I reckon this coarse will suit Sagz. A coarse made for a powerhouse!
