Paris Olympics 2024

Carnage in the 5km heat - 4 fall, including Team GB's Mills, and all are advanced to the final as it was not deemed a "racing incident" - but the Frenchman who Mills was tussling with when he fell isn't DQd and progresses too

Final (I think on Saturday?) should be spicy

Saw that. Mills must have been confident that he was going to get in because he took it like a champ in the interviews.

He's just a skinny clean shaven Andy Farrell.

You can actually have that one. Only if you decide right now though.

Losing to America in track cycling should be grounds to have your citizenship revoked

On one hand dygert and Faulkner were by far the best cyclists on the track but on the other hand our track program involves borrowing some fixies from messengers and having the team meet each other the week before competition.

I've watched two races now (well one and an incomplete one) and both seemed to have massive elements of luck to me.

Isn't that why they race a series? Bad luck averages out in the end.

Probably, only medal races have been on tv.

Didn't know the finals would be a hall of meet challenge

Good interview from Kerr, fair play - very mature response to the result/his performance

What kind of age do athletes age out of the 1500? He'll be 30 next time round

What just happened in the Belgium and Canada race?

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Bigham in for ollie wood. Apparently ineos didn't let him train as much as he'd like so it will be interesting if that pays off.

What just happened in the Belgium and Canada race?

I've been trying trying to find that, they didn't cover the race on BBC

Dan Bingham, don't mistake him for Dan Biggar
