Is the young guy who won Comm Games mountain biking a shot at Olympic level?

Yeah I just watched the interviews. She's like Irene van Dyk just all smiles. A complete star. I stayed up to 3am to watch it live and it was totally worth it. I agree with mokey that she probably suddenly thought too much about it and psyched herself out. But to be expected at 19 and her first major seniors event. -

<p>Hewitt is a decent chance but Jorgenson is probably a lock for gold in that race.</p> -

I suspect Damo missed the piston wristed gibbon thread. That thread will go down in history as one of the very best.

All these B finals in the rowing/kayaking are a bit shit. Must be gutting competing in them.
Due to your modly power I assume...</p>
Should have added more smileys :D</p>
