          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.

                      What about all the also runs who never even made their finals?

                            I don’t know. That polish chick was impressive!

                              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.

                                Given the history of the Kendalls and co in windsurfing/boardsailing over the years, it was surprising to see no NZ competitors in Tokyo this time around.

                                Edit, and apparently none in Rio either. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/tokyo-olympics-2020-auts-sailing-professor-mark-orams-new-zealands-proud-history-in-olympic-sailing-wont-continue-by-chance/5VMDWOXPLG5PZU2H2COAKHR4P4/

                                  The team pursuit was always the medal chance. I don't think the team sprint is as strong post-Dawkins.

                                  Still got the keirin and omnium to salvage a medal.

                                          Hate that front dive towards the platform.

                                          Did anyone say Greg Louganis?
