Gemmill 34422 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 It's just the preliminary stages of it where they ride on their own. The team pursuit is canny dull when there isn't actually a pursuit on. With two teams on the track later today, it'll be a lot better. The sprint final was class. Some might even say mint.

Dr Gloom 19814 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I'm a bit out of touch with the hard on the country has for cycling generally, but some of the velodrome stuff can be a bit dull. I enjoyed the keirin one that Hoy won in 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 30381 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I enjoy a lot of the other stuff in the Olympics but it sort of starts properly now with the track and field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 30381 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Cycling is canny boring when you've been feasting on synchronised diving and gymnastics all week The gymnastics, man. It's absolutely fucking incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, can't wait. Though I have got into the diving and rugby sevens more than I thought I ever would. The only fucker with this is staying up until 1/2 in the morning but I suppose that's par for the course with most previous Games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34422 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Watched the 7s final last night. Some howking they got. That can't have felt much like "winning" the silver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1117 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Men against boys that was. Felt quite embarassed for them. Surpassed expectations getting to the final but like you say can't really have felt much like winning a silver. That cycling last night was cushty belta like.

Gemmill 34422 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 The fucking clip of Denise Lewis man. It's bad enough that her patter fucking reeks, but she seems to spend an inordinate amount of effort to make herself as physically unattractive as possible ever since she gota job from the BBC.

Ayatollah Hermione 12767 Posted August 12, 2016 Author Share Posted August 12, 2016 Never seen owt like that 10,000m race. Breaking the world record by 14 (fourteen) seconds, she might as well have sprinted for the last 15 laps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 14031 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Previous world record was dodgy as fuck so it's nice to have it off the books, though obviously you just have to keep your fingers crossed about this one, especially given how much she blitzed it by. Phenomenal performance if clean though, never seen anything quite like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 14031 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Only five women had gone sub-30 before today. Another four did it in that race, and the fourth one doesn't even get a medal for it. Life is harsh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phenomenal performance if clean though, never seen anything quite like it. I love Paula. Slagging off that despite her own record being staggering. Fucking mong. I love the thoughts of people on social media. Slagging off this win saying the lass she beat was doped up to fuck. Yet these people defend Froome who beats the times of climbs on Alps by Lance and Pantani, saying its the fucking wind and beetroot juice. PMSL.

wykikitoon 16628 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Fuck me. Who knew Sir Bradley Wigan is asthmatic? Sat down in the velodrome and *bang*just casually takes out a ventolin. I tell you what. Being asthmatic doesn't hold you back anymore like when I was a nipper. Half of fucking British cycling are on the fucking things!

I saw that and I thought "naa, can't be" I got what they call "adult onset asthma" at 39, got to take a preventer every morning or by about 3pm am struggling...well done Bradley ?
