Heh, I used to work with one of the presenters from Stan 10 years ago. Quite funny how quickly things can change in a decade.**** a brick. Just saw someone I went to university with commentating on the Olympics for the BBC! What a blast from the past.
Bronze again for Brown. Not bad after dislocating her shoulder. I wonder why this is such a teenage thing but perhaps as the falls accumulate as you get into your late teens, you start to flinch from the big tricks that get the big points.The park skateboarding is great and so wholesome in how earnestly the girls are cheering each other on.
Aussies break world record in semis (by a lot) and start huge favourites over GB in the final. Fantastic ride!!The Keirin is a slightly odd one as it requires a little bit of stamina and trackcraft as well, but for raw speed, I don't think anyone is getting near Finucane in the Sprint.
I had a quick look at bookies prices for other races. If anyone is interested, Australia are priced up at 5-2 for the Men's Pursuit having recorded the fastest time in qualification (0.3 faster than GB who are the 13-8 favourites). That price just looks wrong to me.
Vengeance for Tokyo!God what a race in Team Pursuit between Denmark and GB
Yep, that’s certainly not a gold that got away. Dutch were completely different class.Netherlands just so quick in the Team Sprint, what a trio
Yeah, I was being a bit too optimistic with that one..... Let's hope atleast we can secure the Bronze vs Spain.Can't believe we lost that game to Germany in the hockey semifinal. Had a chance in literally the last second. Heartbreakers.
