I was surprised to see her in the points race tbh. Was it her first time?

She said she'd done one before but seemed a bit bemused by it all. that place could have been given to someone else so that at least they could have gained a bit of experience...and probably pick up more than 3 points

I actually agree with you about Romero for once!

This really isnt the place for her to be trying out new events, the place probably should have gone to someone more experience from the junior ranks, even if it was their only race of the games.

Got the BBC Feed up and running - no sound, again - wonder how my workmates will react if I start squealing with excitement!

 

[twistedAM]

Yes! The country that has given us such wonderful personalities like Robbie McEwen and Cadel Evans get fucked, or should I say munched or is that just a term applicable to women's events?

Queenie, someone in the office will have headphones!

NZ look soooo cool in the all black outfits. Nice one, gutting to see the Aussies ridden out of the medals

I do! But I am surrreptiously watching - despite the fact we have sod all work to do - so am trying not to draw too much attention to myself

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Fantastic performance.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Fantastic!! - I am sitting here with such a big smile on my face

Time for a celebratory cup of tea I think!

 

[Flashman]

Bloody hell!

Almost expected that though tbh, not to sound cocky.

 

[JTG]

Just unbelievable. The sprint & pursuit events have just been a procession.

 

[Part 2]

And a world record too.!

 

[JTG]

Bloody hell!

Almost expected that though tbh.

I know, I'm almost getting blase

Though in all honesty I watch these guys shaking my head in disbelief

 

[Flashman]

It's hard not to we're streets ahead of everyone else.

Amazing.
