How to blow your chance of Bronze...deliberately ride into the other cyclist. How Carlin could claim that he didn't see the Dutch bloke is unfathomable....he was looking straight at him and steered straight into him. Having already got a yellow card earlier in the comp i cant see how he doesnt get disqualified.

I think I can cycle the 750 faster than either of those 2.
Honestly, I dislike velodrome cycling, but sprint is the worst of the lot.

Unbelievable Jeff!!!!
(I wasn't going to say anything until it was clear that the Dutch weren't going to appeal or any appeal was unsuccessful....and then got caught up in the athletics).

Carlin is a very lucky boy. Talk about a brain fart. Did he expect the Dutch rider to steer away from him?? Nice finishing race though...

Love the carnage of 4x100. Especially when the yanks mess up more than anyone else. The green hair clearly didn't work!!

Don't think she could have done more than that. 800m PB. So Thiam set one too I guess.
I kept looking and looking at the end and there was zero interraction between the two. I wonder if there's some history or needle there as that's quite unusual, especially after the multi event comps.

Tip for 10,000m runners.
Just jump off your garage roof. It will hurt less in the morning!

You haven’t been inspired to pop up at your local parkrun tomorrow morning?

The local park run coordinator lives two door away. She's always on at me to go. Funnily enough, it ALWAYS clashes with golf!
I've never done any athletics. At school, if you were in the cricket team, that's all you did in the summer!

Yes I learnt to windsurf and the little stubs on the board took the skin off my shins.
Great fun though.

Does anyone know what the official medal target was for GB? I seem to recall someone saying 50-70 but can’t find anything now

Not 100% sure but think something around 65 rings a bell.
