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

    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

    @machpants that was why I decided not to pursue a pro career in BMX racing.

    Is that really the only reason?

    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. Weโ€™re convinced that if it had been an Olympic sport back then you would have won. Here, have an honorary Gold medal.
