French booing, what a nice bunch.

 

[Born to be a blue]

Trying to work but that was far to distracting, really enjoyed that!!

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Let’s hope his bike weighs enough!

What an epic performance that was. Thought he'd lost that numerous times and every time he just fought back. Even on that last lap when the french guy attacked and opened up a gap, he still had enough to pull it back and attack again.

 

[Vienna_70]

A brilliant run by Pidcock, considering he had that puncture.

To make a gap of 47 seconds or so back was phenomenal.

I really thought Koresky had won it, when he made that break, but all credit to Tom for regaining the lead and holding on for the gold.

 

[MCFC1993]

He was levels above that field, superb performance.

When the French lad attacked I've no idea how he reeled him in, he looked broken.

 

[MillionMilesAway]

Classy French as ever

A British crowd would have done the same if situation was reversed.

Shame they missed however Pidcock caught the biggish gap up.

Absolutely astonishing performance.

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

Wonder what the ancient Greeks would have made of some of the Olympic events?

Beach Volleyball, Breaking, Cycling, Golf, Skateboarding, Sport Climbing, Surfing, Table Tennis, Trampoline etc.

Bring on the Athletics ASAP.

They had some weird events in the ancient Olympics aswell. Painting and Poetry were events

Imagine booing that performance. Some salty French there. Take a bow pidcock

Why? They both knew that split in the track was coming the French guy could have taken it and Pidcock seized the moment and handed him his derrière

 

[Double R]

Astonishing win that. Well done.

Yep the frog forgot that the tree would be on his side if Tom took the other line.

French booing, what a nice bunch.

Bunch of twats.

Architecture and sculpture were in until 1948 - I think with painting, literature and music

 

[MCFC1993]

Perfect run from Tom McEwan, any penalties from the next 3 and he medals, 1 of which is also our rider, hopefully she has a perfect run.

 

[Scottyboi]

Beautiful them horses.

I meant they missed the catch before that - the co-comm said she missed it too.

The final pass was a mistake by the Frenchman in taking the route he did.

 

[MCFC1993]

2 perfect runs.

Any errors from the next 2 and we get 2 medals.

 

[MCFC1993]

No errors from the Aussie, won't be getting gold.
