    Campbell Stewart also wins SILVER!! :2nd_place_medal: Awesome race!

    https://olympics.com/tokyo-2020/olympic-games/en/results/cycling-track/results-men-s-omnium-pts-000100-.htm

    Quite difficult to follow. At times I didn't think Stewart was in it. Great result for him and the two medals tonight salvage something for the cycling programme

    I can’t understand (across almost all sports) how the graphic communication hasn’t moved with the technology abilities.
    Surely we can see running totals etc.
    Has been the same in lots of other sports too. You are relying on often shit commentators to follow what’s happening

    You can see where things are at in a race/competition at the different stages. I've been posting links for days (before the races). Keep those open during a race ...

                    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.

                    So when I posted this last night, I doubt any of us were seriously expecting not one, but two medals. 🤣

                      Top of the table clash in the women's 55kg karate featuring the local girl and the lovely Ms Tierluga. The fighting has been intense!

                                  Not many successful jumps at 4.70 m in the women's pole vault. It could be a quick night for the Russian.

                                      The body speed and precision on show during the kata is amazing. CF Jr got to brown belt, his kata looked nothing like these
