Laura Kenny reckons we'll get 8 golds. Which is bold.

Well we're leading women's team sprint with a new WR, and second in men's team pursuit. So far looking rosy.

Women's win heats with "qualifying gold medal race" position and another new WR

Well depends we had a **** first 2 laps.

Well depends we had a **** first 2 laps.

Those are kind of important and on a track bike I think those Dutch legs and shoulders help them get to better starts

 

[General Melchett]

Well done ladies.

Hopefully Keely can bag a gold in the 800m now

Great gold in women's team sprint for TeamGB , amazingly the WR has been broken 4 times today, 3 times by our girls.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Gold! And ANOTHER world record - 4th time it's been broken today!

Didn't realise one of the riders is from my town - hell of a commute to the nearest velodrome from here, imagine they've gone to uni in Manchester or something to train properly

 

[Which Tyler]

Brilliant.

How.many world records today? 3 from 3 rides by GB, but several other breaks.
Surely, that's not those new undershirts they're all wearing (on which, GB's seems to be wavey lines, everyone else's seems to be straight)

The track will be treated to be perfect. Plus all the new tech for all teams comes with Olympic bikes. They usually keep it under wraps beforehand.
