I am 99% sure that's a parody. Its an Adidas jumpsuit and she sounds English putting on an accent.

Like a Trump tweet its hard to tell what is or isnt parody

13th for Stenson, 24th for Gregson, Diver DNF with cramps in the quad supposedly.

Gregson related to cats player?

Apparently not. I didn't realise she was the same person as Genevieve LaCaze who ran 3000 steeplechase last Olympics

 

[2 eazy]

So many missed chances should of had 20 plus gold

Can dance.

Yeah should of gone with the younger Weightman over the 47 yr old Diver .....though in all honesty Weightman is 45 yrs old from memory and would of cramped most likely at the 5 km mark

I thought the controversy was Weightman versus Stenson because Weightman had the 3rd best time and Stenson had the 5th best. Diver at least had the fastest qualifying time (might have been years ago though). In the end the selectors got it right with Stenson at least.

Seinfeld episode “The little kicks” was watching it during dinner, now I know why I can’t unsee Raygun.

Jess Stenson (nee Trengove) is the one with a brother who played AFL

 

[AdelaideGT]

In the end the selectors got it right with Stenson

One of the factors in the selection of Jess was that she is good on hilly courses. Plus winning Commonwealth Gold.

Most fast marathon races come on very flat courses and aided by pace-makers.

Yes agree, was just a tongue in cheek remark at the selectors thought process......

Baker 3rd in the first scratch race of the Omnium is a great start.

What are the rules in that Ominuim thing

Glaetzer through to the semis of the Keirin, looked good there.

Cycling Omnium Olympics Rules

For those who think it's easier to annoy you than to Google 'Cycling omnium olympics rules' themselves.

My wife thought the Olympics kept going. I stupidly told her they ended tonight. Could’ve got away with watching a whole lot of full replays on Stan.

It’s kind of like a Decathlon/Heptathlon for Track Cycling. There are four races a Scratch Race, a Tempo Race an Elimination Race and a Points race. You get points based on your results in each. The one with the most points (or least points depending on whether they are counting up or down) wins.

Not even our best chance, Richardson is also competing in that.

Lavreysen will still likely clean up given the form he's in

And ladies and gents

With Finucane getting beaten, I think that was Great Britain's last chance to pass us on the Gold table
