That was only one event of the 6, the others are a lot easier to follow. The points race is normally pretty good to watch, but as they scrapped in in favour of doing 6 different disciplines it made it a bit of a mess because a lot of the riders now involved aren't endurance cyclists so none of them really wanted to take turns at the front or press very much and it was dominated by a few. Having said that, it is normally a bit mad anyway!

Awesome, just the 800 to go. Only one I will see, but I think it might just be a bit special!

 

Indeed, the poster girl of the games stepping up. If she wins, and it looks like she should, it will be THE iconic moment of the games.

 

I'm very jealous, will start work at half 8, so if any ill patients think they're getting treated before half nine they can fuck right off. ;)

Aye he's been making his mouth go to the yanks. They've rightly pointed out that the time he won the World Championships in was about a second slower than all of them can run, and that his personal best is about a second slower than will be required to win the Olympics. Which pretty much clamped him. :lol: He's basically not as good as he thinks he is.

The coverage of literally ever other event has only shown how terrible BBC football coverage is.

 

Agreed. Even the shite events that 100 people in the country play have managed to find educated, knowledgeable pundits. The world's most popular sport has Robbie savage in the studio.
