Just watched the replay of the Cavendish crash. He looked at the South Korean rider before cutting him off. I reckon it was a definite strategy to try and take out his rivals, that was a dog act and he should have been DQ'd</p></blockquote>

Same.<br><br>
You could tell he wasn't 'surprised' when he made contact with the Korean, hence he was braced and stayed upright easily. And his rival piles into the Korean.<br><br>
Not that I know much about cycling.<br><br>
But looked sus to me.

Brilliant paddle, put the hammer down in the final quarter and no one had an answer

[TeWaio]

<p>Olympic record</p>

[Rembrandt]

Awesome! Even better a well timed midnight toilet stop means I got to watch it

[Billy Tell]

If we want to go any higher up that medal table we need 3 more golds

<p>An American athlete who bravely finished the race.</p>

[TeWaio]

<p>Lovely sportsmanship shown btwn the two. They both finished, in a fair bit of pain.</p>

[hydro11]

<p>First two heats were very slow. Willis should be able to qualify here even if he misses out on the top 6.</p>

[hydro11]

<p>Willis cruised it. Used no energy and got through.</p>

[TeWaio]

<p>Class from Willis.</p>

Spain is on 4 golds. <br><br>
I'll be happy if we finish 14th but we'll have to keep winning to stay there.
