The cox in the men's 8 is a woman, the cox in the women's 8 is a man. What gives?

BlackFerns in line for the 50th?

As someone who rowed at school (and that was my ceiling),I'm genuinely thrilled to see them win gold in the preeminent event. It's an astounding accomplishment for such a small nation.

Watching BMX semis. Doing ok

Not such a good run that time. Got a hard outside draw and squeezed out in the first corner.
Needs a good run in the last to make the final.
In 4th at present. 6 qualify

Is that really the only reason?

[taniwharugby]

@jc yes, yes it was...I was pretty good in my hey day (U12 age group)

USA Olympic champion down in a pile up. Men's BMX qualifying

Still qualifies, but he's down on the course

Looks like no 1 ranked hasn't made it, Dutch guy

The police should be taking a good look at them. BMX is for kids. Adults have MTBs.

As you were then. We’re convinced that if it had been an Olympic sport back then you would have won. Here, have an honorary Gold medal.
