Lol.
Do you mean the Omnium? I don't really understand it either. I think you get a point every time you cross the line after the bell goes but musn't be in last place or you get eliminated. I probably got that wrong.
Women's madison with Katie Acrhibald and Laura Kenny just about to go. You think the omnium is confusing, you ain't seen nothing yet.
Lol, well I've only just seen the replay of the last lap but I've no doubt I would have been confused if I'd seen it all. Really pleased for Kenny & Archibald.

Just seen another tweet comparing the Madison to a Hadron Collider!
Lol, brilliant tweets!
Well done Laura Muir! I thought she already had won gold from the last olympics but she never medalled before.
Women's 4 x 100m relay on now with Dina Asher Smith & Co. Come on girls!
Fortunately they did get their bronze in the end. At the post race interview, those girls sure talk fast. Gotta be about a 100 words a second.
Oh, now the men's 4 x 100m relay. Come on men!
Damn, so nearly gold! Silver though.
Only 1/100th second between gold and silver.

I didn't realise JJ Chalmers was a lance corporal in the Royal Marines and got blown up by an IED in Afghanistan, plus he also won a gold medal in athletics in the Invicta games. Very impressed, I had no idea. I think he's done really well as a presenter for this olympics.
Women's 4 x 400m relay, only 5th for Team GB.
Who'd have thought Poland would take silver and beat Jamaica.

Yeah, almost better than Formula 1!
Yep. Chris Hoy put the kiss of death on Laura Kenny. He was saying how this is her best event and how wily and smart she is, and then she got eliminated in the first 5 minutes.
Wow yes, that was amazing!
Yeah, I thought we'd seen the best of British Olympics with the likes of Mo Farrah and Steven Redgrave, etc and that we'd not do very well this games. Oh me of little faith. It just goes to show that this country continues to have winners and foster new sporting stars. Apparently we matched the medal haul of 2012 and came second to our medal haul of Rio.
I thought Tokyo put together a flawless Olympics. The only mistake I can think of was having to restart one of the triathlons because a boat was dangerously in the way when the athletes first dived into the water.
I watched the Brazil v Spain gold medal football match. How come England weren't in the Olympic football?
Lol yes, of course, good point.
I wonder how we'll we'd have done as Team GB football with the best players of our home nations.
A moth sitting on the podium olympic rings.
