Next medal events are Diving final and another sail race. Then track cycling.

Unlikely for medals in any of those

mens pursuit team should medal. Just need to get past the italians to get to the final. Only 200ths of a second behind them in the first round so defo doable

Yeah - I liked the look of us.

Italians looked like they're going to rely a lot on Ganna's power to get them home - but, we looked more of a team.

I quietly think we'll take them - but, if we don't we should have the measure of the Brits.

Pom women crash into each other once they've finished.. fuck that was embarassing!

those bikes don't like lateral load lucky they didn't snap anything!

The stress fractures you can't see are the ones that get you.

yep. I'd still be taking hte piss out of the aussie made bars snapping but I'm pretty sure we're using hte same aero bars (3D titanium printed)- not base bars - so will keep quiet til after we've gone!

the Poms Yanks race was an awesome example of aero prowess vs outright grunt. Aero won (with a bit of grunt)

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

got Ganna'd jaysus.

[Chris B.]

Far out!

The Italians post a World record to pip us by hundredths of seconds.

[Bovidae]

NZ's time would have been a WR too.

[KiwiMurph]

The same thing happened last night when NZ were chasing Italy's time.

Great race!

[WillieTheWaiter]

so close to perfection.

bloody sport.

[WillieTheWaiter]

WHAT THE FUUUUUCK!

[Rapido]

You fucking Danish retards!!!!

[KiwiMurph]

Hahahahah GB Bradbury their way into a gold medal ride (well.... different to Bradbury... but still)

[WillieTheWaiter]

that is one of the most mental things i've ever seen in sport!

and you fucked my multi you tards!

[Rapido]

Now we get a fucking strong team in the bronze race, instead of the GBR rabble.

[Chris B.]

Surely we're not going to end up riding against the fucking Danes for a Bronze?

Get off your bikes you British arses.

[WillieTheWaiter]

and herein lies the issue kids with the latest aero position that the riders are using now not looking where you're going

[Toddy]

Did Britain plan that like Bradbury did? Knew they had no chance to win so left a rider to hang back in the hope the Danes rode into the back of him?

I don't think so cause they haven't posted a time - bronze is just 1st 2 from the 'others' outside silver and gold.

[Crucial]

How the fuck does that work? You crawl across the line in a slow time but make the final?
