2nd or 3rd?

2nd

2nd.

 

[Craig1981]

Yeah, too much to do in too little a time. Looks like silver for GB.

What on Earth was Becky James up to there?

Silver is fantastic given her position for most the sprint, but you can't win the race by sitting at the back for most of it.

 

[robfosters]

That could have been a gold. Another 20 metres or so and she would have snatched it.

That's how I feel. It was her own strategy that was her/our undoing.

Gold missed there but amazing effort and a silver is a silver.

 

[zophiel]

it has worked well for her in the past she does seem to sit back a lot

 

[zophiel]

kenny should kill this

 

[Craig1981]

Nope.

 

[Marsman]

Whatever the medal, it's good to see a Brit beat Anna Meares.

Meares got many a boo from me for her victories over Victoria Pendleton.

That looked easy for the Russian

 

[Marsman]

Great ride from the Russian. Kenny beaten for the first time, I think?

 

[zophiel]

Nope.

was a surprise

the rus had a good turn of pace

next one could go either way two good prospects for the future

 

[Craig1981]

Its a bit weird the way they have to do a go slow for the first half a lap.

 

[Craig1981]

That was a good result

 

[zophiel]

I couldn't do all that looking round either. I'd end up straight in the wall!

 

[Marsman]

Victoria Pendleton has messaged that she thinks Kenny was a tiny bit complacent in that sprint, and that he won't make that mistake in the second race.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

That Canadian isn't half bad

 

[Jokester]

Those tracksuit tops the British women have are horrible.
