We were robbed of a fantastic womans final, thats why i am so gutted, china v gb would have been an awesome race to watch.

hmmmm long wait....

Angry looking? I saw them all hugging and high-fiving on the BBC2 feed after the race ended; they seemed satisfied finishing second.

Hopefully nothing peculiar happens!

Rules are Rules, but it is a damn shame considering the GB team wiped the floor with who they were racing.

There was a shot of them later when they were walking off and they looked less than happy.

Probably just being.... French?

Skeeter · 2 Aug 2012 at 19:20

Lol, true.

I don't think they need the music for this anthem, the crowd are loud enough on their own!

Anybody know why BBC One not showing medals?

Probably saving it for later when there's nothing else to show.

Admit what?

Sounded like he was trying to have a bit of a joke but being German it didn't quite come across that well.

Psycho Ned · 2 Aug 2012 at 19:40

Didn't hear it but apparently the young lad of the sprint team admited he fell off on purpose because he got a slow start! :eek:

If he did I suspect we haven't heard the end of that. Hope there is no route to have those medals took off them!

The commentator mentioned this a while ago.

He said it looked like Hindes got a dodgy start, was a bit off-balance and any other cyclist would recover and carry on. But track cycling is so close time-wise, track riders normally just throw themselves off to bag the restart.
