That is so offkey! Rebecca did what she came to do!yeah; I wish nick h had had a crush on Rebecca Romero instead
And whats wrong with Romero?
I've been winding Melinda and others on the cycling thread about that but since you ask would i rather see a gold go to someone who came through the grassroots in the sport (which let's face it up to now not that many in the UK were interested in but now all seem to be experts) rather than someone who got funded from day one and is talking of leaving the sport now that she's got her medal, so she can try her hand at being someone who wins three different events?
At the end of the day I don't give a toss about Rebecca Romero and her quests but I do care about GB cycling and would rather see money spent on grassroots as opposed to some gympony that might get us a medal.
Thats on the Olympic photography threadmeant to say are all of our cyclists posing in evening dresses or nude these days?
Victoria, what have you started? Even you know who stripped off for an advert.

This was also my instinct. Unlike the very noticeable and remarkable preparedness of all GB athletes I’ve seen at this Olympics, Reade seemed to have not benefited fully from the huge increase in the (sports) psychology component – for example, she wasn’t calm and totally clear, and any visualisation seemed not to have taken into account anything past the race start. It all became a mad rush of blood and adrenalin: 3 falls in 6 rides . . .If I could read French I'd imagine there's a message board where they're saying she moved toke out ACC. She is their Shanaze and has achieved a hell of a lot more, that was always her last race, she's retired.
Wreckless is the word I was thinking when I woke up 20 minutes ago.
Her coach will be the one to go i reckon. After all the earlier falls she shouldn't have been choosing the inside line on that first berm and it would be up to him to tell her.
I keep replaying it and really it just looks as if she could quite easily have blocked ACC by staying lower on the banking and she just chose the wrong line. Very average bike handling.

Also read that she has broke her finger, torn her hamstring and brusied her coccyx.
On the other hand she ought to have a good chance of beating everyone, including VP, in the sprint in 2012. Should be interesting watching them compete with each other at the next world championships.
