They looked really good in the last round - just hope our girls were holding something back

Hope so.

Two bronze medals at the Olympics, at the age of 16. You can't imagine the buzz that must be for the girl.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Impressive from Japan after such an awful start.

How many false starts are the French allowed in the track cycling?

1 - 2 and your out

Great performance from the men's team sprint, might be enough to race for gold.

Probably racing for silver in reality due to how fast the Netherlands are.

 

[MCFC1993]

GB in the gold medal race in the men's team sprint.

World record for the Netherlands, they are miles ahead of everyone.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Men’s team spring we go for gold v the Dutch but I think it will be silver, the orange look strong and fast

Didn’t the French just have 2?

 

[eversince 76]

USA ran a WR in the semis 4x400m/f only finish 2nd in the final.

United beat us 2-1 in the FA Cup final recently.

A final is a final and stranger things have happened.

Dutch Bullet Train the favourites though. And UK already has more medals than us Dutch. You don’t need another one.

I think they had one each - if not it was deffo home advantage ;)

Good old BBC chatting whilst Charlie Dobson goes in the 400m semi-final, had to switch to Eurosport to catch it.

Incredible to believe, but when Ann Packer (Ian and David Brightwell's mum) won the 800m gold in Tokyo in 1964, that was the longest race that women ran.

 

[MCFC1993]

Quincy Hall looks good, might be the favourite over Hudson-Smith.

 

[give it to gordon]

Wow great ride by the British lads

Had to do the same, they are a joke.

Good grief. Bit close that.

Set the world record whilst winning gold, won silver in the 400m in the same games and immediately retired.

Hopefully she was proudly watching on last night.

I thought surely they'll cut to it soon, then heard the gun go off, madness.
