Ooh Reynalds

 

[JP Sauce]

Saya has lead all 6 of her races from start to finish. Just the final left.

 

[myblueroan]

Make the most of it, the swimming will be over soon, then the track and field will take over where golds are much harder to get.

HIgh jump looking good.
Both our girls qualified.

Gulp...

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Rinse and repeat for Saya. Might be the biggest margin of the night.

Repeat it one more time Saya.

 

[Rustin Cohle]

Please don't tell me the final is a one run and done after all these semi final runs...

 

[JP Sauce]

Please don't tell me the final is a one run and done after all these semi final runs...

Of course it is!

Unfortunately it is. Saya deserves it after her performance here, but a cut throat final means that anything is possible in this sport particularly.

Sakabara is a BMX Bandit, Reynolds not so much, she went off track, bad move.

Good god, who thinks this shit up? The sport is a crapshoot. You'd think you would be trying to reduce variance.

Even track cycling sprints have multiple runs.

Tried a cheeky shortcut. We were all thinking it

 

[Whiskers]

Reynolds only needed to finish top 7 of the last race. Anyone know why she missed out with 15 points in a 3 way tie for 8th?

 

[catstorm]

Yep this final is shaping up as the Ashes, neither of them have lost a race at these Olympics, both have gone 6/6.

Times, they raced a time trial before the event for seedlings.

It's the same in the Winter Olympics with the snowboard racing.

The late great Alex Chumpy Pullin was the favourite for gold in Sochi, stacked it in the final and went home empty handed.

 

[Rustin Cohle]

LOL. This sport is stupid.

 

[JP Sauce]

Damn French!

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Kennedy was blatantly cut off by one of the French guys.

 

[catstorm]

That’s bullshit the French rider pushed the Aussie off the track.

 

[Drummond]

So that sums up why BMX finals are annoying. Aussie great start, squeezed out.

 

[myblueroan]

That is outrageous!
He got shoved off the track and was flying too.

 

[Plugger35]

France go gold, silver and bronze in the men's BMX race, Kennedy stacked it, tried to ride wide and then got ridden into the fence.

 

[Drummond]

No replays yet….

That looked dodgy.

 

[Plugger35]

No referee reviews in BMX racing.

Brutal sport, if you get knocked off your bike bad luck.

 

[JP Sauce]

Was Saya's boyfriend who bumped with Kennedy. Might be a lttle awkward afterwards!
