Kieren it's not even a joke was developed in 1948 in Japan for gambling

Boardman and the other commentator speak about it all the time.

And the Madison is cause MSG wanted to be able to have gambling 24 hours a day instead of 12 when labor laws were put into place

Ah man, those two changes were terrible - could've been gold if they were solid

Gonna have to check if it was done in the boxes as well.

I was just going to say that and then 10 more yards we would have had that

That's because those races were 6 days long

Interesting how different the helmets of the two track cyclists are - you'd have thought there'd be one design that is scientifically the best and everyone would use it

 

[AlRums]

Carlin, wtf?

Maybe tailored to the individual, wouldn't surprise me

Yeah. Sport used to mean something.

 

[AlRums]

Strange how the stade de France is wet one side and dry the other

Yeah, could be down to their cycling position - they'll spend ages in air tunnels making sure it's all good, I suppose, so not like a new guy is at a loss because he's wearing a different style

 

[AlRums]

TeamGB now exactly equal with the french in the medal table, colour for colour

14G
19S
22B

 

[AlRums]

Now we've gone one bronze better because Carlin was lucky

It's crazy how not out of breath some of the athletes are after a race

They track guys especially. They look like they are dying the last 50m and then boom everything is fine.

Yeah the British team have a win tunnel and they work out which helmet is best for each individual rider. Ridiculous levels of tech.

Our girl looked completely out of sorts in that race. No flow to her stride.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Ah fourth sucks. She'll be back, this was bonus territory for a young athlete.

 

[big ginger 8]

Clearly devastated in that interview. Hope she comes in and smashes the relay tomorrow.
