              @machpants I don't understand this reaction. One rider was just very unlucky in this race, while they were ahead. Why would you want their funding cut ?

                      Farrrkkk. That was gut wrenching to watch. Front wheel poked in behind the rider in fronts back wheel and that's that.

                      Gotta feel for the rider.

                          Just imagine being a team competing at the Olympics. One team member makes a mistake, they lose, and the team's funding is cut, so it's harder for the whole team and any future team members to qualify for and compete at the next Olympics.

                          That just makes no f*cking sense!

                            What a race by Italy. Denmark leading with 2 to go and Italy claw it back and win with World Record.

                              The high performance units behind sailing and cycling have a little bit of thinking to do between now and Paris 2024.

                                          Not caught up with the thread ...

                                          ... but sports climbing...

                                          Like ninja gargoyles bounding around the roofs of Ankh Morepork.

                                          Miroslaw! Wow. 7.01.

                                          Picturesque too.
