    Unfortunately, Sam Webster loses his heat (1/8 men's sprint finals). To the repechage it is.

    In terms of Gold Medals won, Australia are having their best ever Olympics. New Zealand is only one Gold behind their record haul in Los Angeles.

    had a middling scratch race. got lapped but second in the sprint to show his speed so 7th.

    couldn't help but thinking watching that that Gatey would have been in the front group dishing it out

    @williethewaiter This is a very popular race in the Netherlands, and they're very good at it. There's a similar type of race in ice speedskating, and they dominate there as well.

    Race walking has to be one of the dumbest-looking, most useless olympics sports there are. I'm not denying the participants' athleticism or anything, but why would anyone do that and why is this rewarded with medals?
