And Anna Meares will take the consolation prize for callipygosity.

I had to look that up

bobb · « **Reply #226 on:** 07 August, 2012, 05:50:42 pm »

Well, she fucked that right up....

David Martin · « **Reply #227 on:** 07 August, 2012, 05:51:06 pm »

Should she be relegated for losing her visor..

rogerzilla · « **Reply #228 on:** 07 August, 2012, 05:51:50 pm »

Yup, Meares won heat 2 fair and square. Awful tactical error by Pendleton - she took the bait just as she was meant to.

Damn, Vicky got the tactics wrong there. Fair result really. Disappointing though.

Meares actually did stray into the sprinters line but we can't expect consistency, can we?

That's the third time - and this time it was deliberately ripped off. Throw the book at her, Monsieur Commissaire!

Looked like it to me. Question is whether or not she was a full bike length ahead at the time...

VP doesn't look in a fit state for a rematch anyway.

Yebbut Meares was winning easily; drifiting out of line wouldn't have made any difference to the outcome.

I see she was riding withiout a h*lm*t though, which should provoke stern censorship from BSHIT.

Vicky should elbow Mears off the podium when she's about to get her gold medal.

rogerzilla · « **Reply #235 on:** 07 August, 2012, 06:08:24 pm »

OMG I thought Hoy had lost it there!

Deano · « **Reply #236 on:** 07 August, 2012, 06:09:19 pm »

I don't know how he came back off that last bend

Wowbagger · « **Reply #237 on:** 07 August, 2012, 06:09:54 pm »

Crikey! I thought he'd lost that.

rogerzilla · « **Reply #238 on:** 07 August, 2012, 06:10:26 pm »

He's probably thinking "In your face, Wiggo!"

Jaded · « **Reply #239 on:** 07 August, 2012, 06:12:22 pm »

He just waited on the last bend, he knew he'd do it.

AndyK · « **Reply #240 on:** 07 August, 2012, 06:13:04 pm »

Seen on Twitter: Thing with Chris Hoy is that when he wins, we call him Scottish, and when he loses hell freezes over.

6 of 9 gold goes to Team GB. Respect.....

LindaG · « **Reply #242 on:** 07 August, 2012, 06:20:30 pm »

Respect indeed. Will Chris's mum ever live down that bit of film where she was watching the Keirin. Bet the family puts it on every Christmas.

I think you mean 7 of 10

David Martin · « **Reply #244 on:** 07 August, 2012, 06:25:46 pm »

Is that the first dead heat in the olympic cycling?

Ewan Houzami · « **Reply #245 on:** 07 August, 2012, 06:28:47 pm »

Coe's blubbing too!

Does anyone else remember Alan Wells' wife shouting at him winning the 100 metres in Moscow? This got a mention yesterday but the BBC don't seem to be able to find the footage.

What is the name of the young lad who has been fronting the cycling for the BBC? He's one of the best commentators/link men I've heard for ages.

David Martin · « **Reply #247 on:** 07 August, 2012, 06:31:18 pm »

Jake Humphreys. He does Formula 1 as well.

OK hands up anyone who DIDN'T cry during that medal ceremony.

(nearest I can find to a hand up)

But then I'm a hard hearted soul.

I figure Sir Chris was doing enough blubbing for all of us!
