Track racing, Rio 2016 **spoilers**

I thought last night's team sprint final was going to be impossible to top for excitement...

Thought for one moment that they were going to fall apart but they dug deep and pulled it off

Never in doubt

Not bad, but it was no Murder, She Wrote...

Hahaha that'll upset the Royalists. We'll maybe see another spat between Piers (spit) Morgan and Wiggins...

Well Cav shows some true class!
Lovely message all things (and his disappointment / envy aside) considered.

Let's all now get behind Cav and Laura (all jokes aside.....)

I fell asleep and missed it! Just watched it on catch up though it's not the same thing when they've already told you the result.

I needed 2 tea bags in the camomile tea to calm down and get to sleep after last nights track session

[QUOTE 4413308, member: 45"]Shocked by the gap they made up in the last half lap.[/QUOTE]

Not sure I was (assuming that's not tongue in cheek!)

Normal for the pursuiters to ride their own schedule irrespective of what the opposition's doing, and fairly common for them to be lagging in the first half - we've seen both men's and women's teams make up bigger deficits in the past.

That didn't stop me getting nervous about it though - it was still pretty tense, and you never quite know...!

I fell asleep and missed it!

I wish I'd done that with the Sevens final the other day.

Steve Redgrave looks like he's enjoying retirement.

As my Nan would have said, 'Hasn't he gone stout'

I know GB are looking predictable, but are they just scheduling the results announcements without bothering with the competition?
