Track racing, Rio 2016 **spoilers**

As they get up onto the podium, I have to say that Sarah Hammer rides her heart out. She's looked exhausted after the last 3 events but she's gone out again and again and given what she had left.

We didn't get to say Hammer time though.

Small mercies and all that

Vogel is brilliant, and I love seeing her race, but it's a shame on this occasion it's against James.

I agree. I'm afraid I've just about written James off for gold already. But if she proves me wrong I'll be ecstatic.

Take two.

The realist in me thinks it's Vogel's gold, even before that last race - but all day I've been saying James can nick it, and she has been so good over the weekend I'm going to stay optimistic.

YesYesYes!

 

[smutchin]

Oooooooh! I think she's done it!

Phew!

 

[coffeejo]

Did she?

 

[BrumJim]

Great throw.

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

Bad camera work keeps us guessing for a little while.

Has CB lost the plot?
