Niall Ferguson's deep-cover sock-puppet
I think she'll be OK - as long as the bike survived intact. She seemed a bit overawed by it being the olympics - might just be nerves, but she's so determined, I can't see her not getting her head straight. And the seeding isn't that critical with her start speed.
Did anyone else think she looked uncomfortable for a bit before the crash? There was a stretch between jumps at the end of the first strait where she didn't pedal - she almost looked nervous. Apparently British Cycling built her a replica of the Beijing course to train on - so she ought to be super-confident on it, unless the surface is trickier or something?
