Track racing, Rio 2016 **spoilers**

[mjr]

BBC Sport page, click on main Olympics tab. Then click on schedule and the schedule is broken down by sport. Pick your sport and click on that and you get timetable and that sport (if applicable) 'Live now' option. Click and play !!

I only get a static image from the sport (close up of a boxing glove, for example) if I do that. What works for me is to go to the iplayer page, then under "Live: Olympics 2016", click "View All", pick the sport I want and copy its link into the iplayer app.

Has anyone noted at both track and road racing and the rowing the track/course announcers have been British?

Not the rowing but yes, it's Ant McCrossan at both track and road, continuing from 2012. https://mobile.twitter.com/antmccrossan/status/764602855743451136

The rowing fella is definitely British too

I wasn't disagreeing, but unless he grows wheels, I don't care

Has Ant McCrossan got wheels?

Had to get involved in the discussion when the women's scratch race was on and missed it.

How inconsiderate of them. To be honest, it was a pretty uneventful race apart from the final sprint, and even that though impressive by Trott was a bit processional.

When the two riders escaped with 19 laps to go, none of the pack seemed that interested in chasing. They didn't really got moving until the final few laps, and even then it was only a select handful contesting the sprint.

If only...

Poor Marmion.

 

[brommers]

They've only got 2 more chances to knock Laura off the track

Poor Marmion.

If I had a violin I'd be ramming it up the BBC not playing it!

Phew. Home. Chores done or bumped down the to-do list. Catching up on the afternoon's racing. Bloody hell, Marchant flew over the finish line!

Are they allowed to use wings?

Are they allowed to use wings?

Red Bull? No, that's Danny MacAskill.

Are they allowed to use wings?

Always with wings.

She was incredible, wasn't she. When Welte took her by surprise I really thought she was too far behind to catch, even though Welte hasn't been going that well.
