billy2shots Posted August 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Wow, that turned out well. Whitlock with two historic gym Golds. Rose and Murray take Golds in their sport and Kenny beats his countryman in the track sprint cycling. A gold is also mathematically ours in the sailing as well. What a great few ours of sport. Oh and Bolt came good to beat the drug cheats. What was it that Steve cram said at the Worlds.

Andy_Bangle Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Wayde Van Niekerk - the only man in history to go sub 10 secs in 100m, sub 20 secs in 200m & sub 44 sec in 400m. Amazing feat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulboy Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 And Justin Rose. Gold in the first Golf Olympics for 112 years! Sports Personality Of The Year is going to be difficult! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 (edited) I was going to say Murray has to win it but I've changed my mind now. Max Whitlock or Jason Kenny. Remarkable (and I'd vote for Max Whitlock). If Farah wins the 5,000m.....I'll change my vote. Edited August 15, 2016 by NewNiceMrMe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuprabob Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 I'd give it to the girl on the trampoline. There going to have to dish out some knighthoods for Chris Froome, Jason Kenny. Andy Murray and Lewis Hamilton if he wins the WDC this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonC Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 Just watched the women's Omnium. Trott is incredible. Watched the men's as well. Never seen the Omnium before. The tactical play is fascinating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soulboy Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 I think I may have decided that track cycling is my favourite sport to watch on TV. Hate most of the ba5tards clogging up the road.....but in the velodrome the competiton is awesome viewing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite scary to begin with. I have not raced. Somebody I ride with does race, at Christmas time he got taken down and hit the track - hard. He drove home (~50 miles), hip still aching. Asked his wife to take him to A&E - she refused - That’s what happens when you try to race against kids. Stupid Man Turned out he had a fractured pelvis. Son races on the track as well, he was at Newport just before GB team went out to Rio. I walked passed Cav & Wiggins as they were leaving after their last session - the one where they beat the world record. For that week Newport velodrome was heated to 30 odd degrees! Some of the kids were setting impressive new PBs during that time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 I knocked my dad off years ago. We were training and throwing elbows, diving up and down, ducking about etc. I was much lighter than my dad and when he realised we were going to collide hard (I'd have bounced up the banking* and come down hard) he kicked back, the pedal hit the track, lifted the rear wheel and went down. I thought I was in trouble so just rose around the top of the track for ages * - The velodrome we used to race on was shorter than Olympic size hence the beds were tighter and the banking steeper so slides down it were faster and harder. I did a corporate race day on the 2012 track at Stratford earlier this year and it brought it all back. Great fun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
