What on Earth was Becky James up to there? :o

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.

From what Sir Chris Hoy was saying Becky James probably would have gone earlier but Anna Meares made a move which forced everyone else to speed up so James had to wait until that had settled down slightly in order to make the most of the speed differential. However considering how much extra she had to do in order to make up for being at the back the silver was well won and she clearly had the power/speed to have won gold with slightly better positioning.

A fantastic performance again by the women's team pursuit and a nice new WR again.

Well done to Jason Kenny and Calum Skinner too, it's great to know that Britain is guaranteed gold and silver already. It should be a pretty close race given how they've performed so far.
 
Going to be quite a final between Kenny and Skinnner. I think experience will win and Kenny will get his fifth gold.

Koreans in the archery. I don't think they've ever not won in any of the categories, though it's not one of the older events.

But yeah, we're pretty awesome on bikes at the moment.
 
I know that in the the women's event have won every gold since it was brought in to the games in Seoul

The mens was broken in london by the yanks. but gained back this time.
