Get in!!!!

 

[Twinkle Toes]

Yet more glorious Gold for GB. Marvelous.

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

I don't like the points race, but otherwise it's brilliant.

Trott 3:44.604
Hammer 3:43.923

So 0.681 to make up.

They said 0.69, so to be on the safe side I was just watching that. Beat her by 0.69 and one other rider should be in between. And she did it with room to spare.

 

[Blackadder]

Happy Days. More to come hopefully.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Brilliant absolutely brilliant

Trott would have won by 0.109 had the time been needed as a tie breaker.

 

[Publius Ovidius]

jesus...this is just incredible

 

[Bwian]

What a nice kid she is too-why can't our footballers be more like these Olympians?

 

[Triggaaar]

It would have been easy if it weren't for the bad luck in the Scratch, which cost her 2 points over Hammer. I'm actually crying now.

Vicky time!

Me too, this medal seems to have meant more to me than any of the others. Trott is such a likeable character. She will be able to do whatever she chooses in cycling, she can win track sprints, track endurance and I would be willing to bet she would succeed on the road too.

 

[Triggaaar]

Did Vicky come out of her lane - she did - so I guess you're allowed to. Nope. Hold your breath.

 

[Simster]

Jesus CHRIST, how close is that?

 

[Pantani]

Get those elbows in and stay in your lane you cheating Aussie.

 

[Publius Ovidius]

bloody hell..0.001

 

[Simster]

Can anyone tell me how they decide who leads out if it goes to a decider?

 

[Pantani]

They draw for it.

 

[Triggaaar]

They're announcing a decision in the background. Well? We lost, f***.

 

[Simster]

Sake. Bollocks.


And cheers [MENTION=12656]Pantani[/MENTION].

 

[Pantani]

f*** off! That is a complete bullshit decision, she is outside the lane for about ten cm. The commissaires want to ruin this track meet.

 

[Stat Brother]

I can't say I'm too surprised.


Mrs Stat has to do it the hard way now.
