I saw skateboarding got bronze, good for her, I watched quite a bit of beach volleyball, too. I have no idea of the rules, but noticed the fingering behind the backs!

She's a character... dislocated her shoulder a few days ago but pfft, just crack on

the time is taken on rider three... so... some poor sod will do a MASSIVE turn on the front (swapping lead riders costs fractions of a second, so it's best to try and ride as long as poss without blowing up)... then that person will pull up. it does mean that if anything goes wrong, the team are screwed, but that will all be part of their plan. Some of the teams did have issues with dropping the 3rd rider.

If you watch the German women, the 4th rider at the start was the one who then did the huge turn at the front when she got there... she is also bigger than the others, so they good a great slipstream. alas, for them, it made no difference.

You wait until the Madison... two riders handslinging each other into the melee. THE BEST track race.

I once spent five days and every session at the Track World Championships, so i quite like it!

I thought it might have something to do with building speed.

Basically, yes... their job is to NOT have anything left by half distance or so. the other have to go the full 4km.

Brighton are the best.
Meeting EDL with drag queens and samba bands.

Newcastle are boss, too.

It’s about as confusing and random as the cyclist that disappeared

what is even more confusing is when FIVE turn up to get the medals! (they can swap out riders from the earlier rounds)

That's just greedy

 

[orangecurious]

That's just greedy

Happened in the Fencing team events too... they would put the sub in so they got a medal.

at the 'limps the cycling teams are a lot smaller, so often they don't have a spare. It also leads to odd events, such as the Belgian men who just gave up in their last ride as one of them has too many other races to do! It was only a ride for 7th and 8th place, but never seen that before.
