I'm so nervous for Laura, the other golds look to be in the bag. Laura only beat Edmonson by 7 thousandths of a second in Melbourne. Sanchez could get between Laura and Hammer as well.

Tie breaks are decided on the shortest time in the timed events I thought. Just checked.

Thanks, they've just said that on the box. Weird, as when they were tied over night they said Laura was ahead because she'd won more, not because her time was lower in the timed events.

So it seem almost certain Hammer will win - then there's money to be made.

 

[Pantani]

Come on Garcia, she could beat Hammer at this as well.

 

[Wardy]

Think Laura will win this event, it is down to what the others do.

 

[Triggaaar]

Come on Garcia, she could beat Hammer at this as well.

So, bias, hopes and fears aside, state the top 5 for the 500.

No, if all goes to what happened in the worlds Laura will still win... by 0.3 of a second by my reckoning. Garcia just beat the time that Hammer set in Melbourne, as has Sanchez, I'm getting slightly more confident but Laura will have to beat Edmonson.

Hammer will put more effort in than Garcia and Sanchez though.

1. Trott
2. Edmonson
3. Sanchez
4. Hsiao/Garcia/Hammer

Doesn't matter though, Sanchez is a sprinter there is no way Hammer will beat her...

Am I convincing you? I'm not convincing myself.

You can't say the omnium isn't nail biting.

You've suddenly made your previous post seem less than impartial.

 

[Triggaaar]

Come on Aussiland, make a f***ing effort for once!

 

[Pantani]

This is the cumulative time:

Trott 3:44.604
Hammer 3:43.923

So 0.681 to make up.

It was all based on times from the worlds, plus knowledge of Sanchez, so there is some basis in fact.

Bit shit really, as whoever is better at the 3000 (or whatever it was) is likely to win any tie.

Yes, it should be winning places really.

 

[Triggaaar]

Get the f*** in

 

[Pantani]

YES, this one has made me happier than any of the other golds. f***ing ecstatic.

 

[Simster]

f***ing SUPERB!!
