Impressive Kenny. Total control. Amazing how confident you can be to be that much stronger.

Fan*******tastic!

Cool as a cucumber.

Jeeze - how have the officials not got a start line camera!?

That's not the start line. It's the opposite side of the track.


Well done Jason!

Awesome awesome awesome. I need a lay down now..

Excellent cycling campaign again.

Right, I think now from this Olympics we have got 2 more Sirs, Murray and Kenny. Kenny has to be a sir without a doubt. If Hoy gets one, surely he must?

So 10 track events, we didn't qualify a team in the womens team sprint (think I heard the coach got sacked for it), the other 9 events we won six and finished second in the other 3 (with another silver and bronze thrown in for good measure)

Also, Lady/Dame Laura Trott?

What happened with the team sprint team?

Dominance, plus every team member won a medal which is simply insane

Also, Lady/Dame Laura Trott?

Seeing as she's only 24 she could quite well become Britain's most decorated Olympian of all time, they said women tend to be able to compete for longer as well.

Dame Laura Trott-Kenny.

Wives of Sirs are automatic Ladies unless they're awarded a Damehood for their own efforts.

Malaysian team seem well chuffed with Bronze

I love the fact that Laura Trott looks happier for Kenny winning his Gold than she was winning her own. Such relationship goals. I definitely need to get down to Manchester Velodrome and have a go/aim to compete

She's cute as hell too

What happened with the team sprint team?

Apparently they were using different riders over the past couple of years to give them experience which meant when they got to the WC this year and put the best team out they had to finish top 3 to qualify and they only came 5th.

A friend did that (Olympic Velodrome) and got a broken arm.

Put a simply, bit of mismanagement in terms of gelling a trio together?

 

[Hotwired]

Yeah I wouldn't have a go on that sloped arena without some instruction.

First word that popped in to my head was sandwich.

I swear they give them all mens sized tops.

Looks like the girls are wearing several sizes too big while they fit the men fine.
