Yep, couldn't work that one out, but those two looked pretty unhappy with each other.

Shades of Marie Decker and Zola Bud

Mills through
Front on replay was worse, Brit got shoved in to the Spaniard who sort of pulled him down.
They've put 4 through

Excellent

Correct decision

I didn't see Kerr's earlier jumps but it looks like he had several goes at each height. Got home to see him clear 2.27, he looks a pretty cool customer

Impressive repechage run by Haylom from Ethiopia. Took off with two laps to go, had a 55m lead at the bell and won easy

Whaddya mean?

The men seem to be struggling at the velodrome

Lol what? 126,0000 euro for a bike? Fuck me dead

[canefan]

The spending gulf between countries is huge. The British are racing $200k bike as well

@canefan any idea who designs ours? Wondering if there is a crossover with yachts, kayaks etc in terms of lightweight and aerodynamic design. Probably a no.8 expense compared to other nations. Interesting that murica don't try as hard with track cycling

The Morris Minors roll the Ferraris as NZ trounce Italy in the semifinals of the Womens Pursuit. Up against the USA in the final so looking very promising for another gold, with silver at the worst.

They might as well say a million - they're not selling them.

Australia beats GB in the finals of the men's Team Pursuit to win Gold.

Australia have 17 Golds and are 3rd in the medal table with only the two superpowers above them. An absolutely amazing Olympics for the Aussies.
