Unlike road racing there is no etiquette in MTB to wait for mechanicals. This is just a working out of how to balance being a 'team' in these type of events as opposed to being solely individual at others.
Last time they worked together to create a lead then Cooper took off with giving Gaze notice that he was about to. Nothing wrong in that either.
They just need to learn to communicate better during a race and set some ground rules beforehand. -

@bovidae Yep - and a good thing too.
The English girls looked a lot more organized in their attempts and she did very well (with a bit of luck) to stop them.
Actually Harrison's effort, which scored, was good and Mickelson's chip was Ronaldo-esque!

Maybe one for the Stuff thread...
New Zealand have never won a Commonwealth Games hockey gold medal. Over the past five Games, the Black Sticks women's side has collected one silver (at Delhi in 2010) and two silver after making the medal round each time.

@bovidae said in Gold Coast Comm Games:
I changed the channel to see them walking around the field and O'Hanlon looked a lot taller than Rutherford, so a bigger body in goal.
Also more athletic apparently. Saw an interview with her and she said it was preplanned, she considered it a speciality and did extra training and scouting work on opposition players. Given how those shoot outs went seems like there's a genuine niche for a specialist. Very different to open field play.

Cull swimming
The perfect test for swimming? Be a passenger on a capsized boat 5 kilometres metres from land. You have to swim to shore to save your life. Would you get there using butterfly?
We could dump backstroke too.
Swimming on your back should be kept as the resort of those who can't swim freestyle well - the holiday pool dippers. There's a reason they don't have a backwards running event - and that reason is to avoid stupidity.
