Carnage in the first men's 5000m race with five fallers in total, including George Mills.
These are interesting races - a cameraman just stopped in the inside lane as the runners came through

Yeah, what the hell was he thinking!
Indeed quite enjoyed thatThis speed climbing is pretty awesome.![]()
I didn't see that race. What happened, did a cameraman cause runners to fall?
No he was a mobile cameraman walking about covering the javelin and was on the track when, without looking, he just walked back towards the field and bumped into the athletes! He knocked one of them but no one fell over.
Can anyone tell me why some of the Velodrome bicycles have different type of handlebars? The team pursuit have handlebars that put their hands close together and other bikes have more standard ones.
The bars used in the pursuit allows the riders to get into a more aerodynamic position, which they need for the longer events. They only switch to them once they are pretty much up to speed.
The normal bars are what you'd be using for starting in the pursuit and for the events where you need to sprint as you can get up to speed and/or sprint from a more stable position with a) your hands apart and b) a better grip on those bars. For example, you couldn't really get out of the saddle using the aero bars as you would have no stability.
