There'd be an absolute uproar if she was DQ'd from two events considering she would have probably won gold yesterday as well.
The officials, commentators, and presenters also haven't mentioned it yet!
5 live commentators noticed it as well apparently, it's official now though so no worries.

Oh ok, well your the first person whose mentioned it so far...seems like no one else has mentioned it as if yet.
Why?? if she is DQ'd because she broke a rule then no one can complain in all honesty but obviously there will be an uproar sadly if they do decide to DQ her.
Hopefully they wont as she deserved that gold medal....we wont be seeing her race for GB again as shes retiring after these olympics.

I thought this whole DQ talk started as a joke, now I'm not so sure. Was there actually a chance she could have been disqualified? How would that even work? Surely once the silly bike is out of the way it's a free for all?

Given how they've upheld the rules to the letter, they wouldn't have presented the medals unless sure.
no there wasnt, stop feeding the troll!

The stewards never looked like they were looking into it and no one protested.

I know they have presented the medals already, I was just more curious as to how it's even possible to have someone disqualified after the pace bike has gone in? What rules can be infringed?

The one in glasgow for the 2014 commonwealth games is due to open in October
I cant wait to try out track riding.
What are you guys on about Pendleton being possibly DQ'ed in that last race of hers?
There was a possible DQ decision for two riders further back, the commentators mentioned it, but that event DIDN'T involve Pendleton.
Anyway, it was a great race, amazed at how much acceleration she has. Team GB are dominating in the velodrome.

Possible infringement for Vicky was when she drifted slightly into Lee of Hong Kong's lane just before the finish. It could be viewed that she changed her lane and was impeding Lee from going for the finish by blocking. They looked at it, but clearly decided it was nothing.
Jason kenny just broken the olympic record in the individual sprint time trial
Easy, easyyyy
He destroyed that record
