Track racing, Rio 2016 **spoilers**

[HF2300]

His false leg looked fantastic, proper terminator look to it.

Spoke to him a couple of years ago about London & Rio, he said they had plans for a new leg for Rio - wonder if that was what he was referring to.

And Megan Giglia is in the 2pm 500m TT...

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

World record for Megan!

Catching up on day 1 on the velodrome.

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

World record in C3 for Megan but with the time adjustments for C2 riders only finishes 5th.

Just seen Cundy's race. I was exhausted just watching the last four ride!

 

[HF2300]

Missed Giglia this afternoon. Just got in to see Kadeena Cox's outstanding ride in a very competitive C4 / C5 500m TT - new WR, beating the WR Zhou had just set by 1.4 seconds, and achieving her aim of beating the C5s before factoring.

Somehow missed Louis Rolfe getting an IP bronze as well - excellent.

Anybody see Metelka's victory celebration yet? Must watch it...

Still behind, started watching day 3. The women's c2&c3 (I think) 500m TT was awesome. I knew that Megan Giglia had set a new world record: what I didn't realise was that the women following her would make her time look like a bimble round the park.

Catching up on yesterday's highlights now, that was some ride from Cundy, awesome work

Love the design on Jennifer Schuble's aero helmet!

 

[coffeejo]

Kadeena Cox ... I have no words. 52kph average. And she's a track and field athlete.

Just seen it! Fantastic. I agree with the commentators: bike dancing should become a new sport.
