Amazing...

Even more amzing to watch firsthand, there isn't much difference between
watching them perform and their counterparts (the elite Oz TP team) they
were fast, smooth and they were flying

I went to the 86 worlds in Colo Springs. I think the winning Czech team
did about 4:17 at altitude.

Some guy named Ekimov won the individual.

Before I checked, I had thought the Aussie juniors had ridden 4:08. During
my brief research, I didn't find anything to substantiate that, but I did
see that the Russian juniors rode 4:07.7 in last year's worlds in Moscow.
That _ is _ screaming _ FAST !

This was also in the cowhorn handlebar and spoked front wheel era. At some
point in the competition, a 4:13 was ridden, either by the Czechs, E
Germans, or USSR team. Despite having some incredibly talented riders, the
Soviet team detonated fairly regularly.

Further research shows the Aussie juniors first rode 4:10.10 on 30 December
1995

At one point the Soviets were pitted against the E Germans, perhaps in the
semifinals. It was quite a duel, until the Soviets had a complete meltdown.
It was amazing to see how fast things could go from smooth precision to
total chaos.

I think it was the Czechs that pulled off that 4:13. Did the teams qualify
alone on the track? It used to be (maybe still is) that world records had
to be set solo on the track....

Due to a generally lower number of entrants, team pursuit does do the
qualifying round with one team on the track at a time. Since seeding can
make for some questionable pairings, riding alone on the track avoids some
potentially chaotic passing situations.

I don't think the one rider/team on the track to recognize world record
stipulation is still on the books. It may have been rescinded when they
started to do the kilo with two riders at a time, pursuit style.

Reminds me of a Steven Wright joke, "a lady comes up to me and tells
me my socks don't match. I tell her I categorize them by thickness,
they match perfectly"

By synchronizing your pedals, you mean both of them right-side up,
right? ;->

How could you tell if your Speedplay's were synchronized?
