I once saw a pole dancer and she was an absolutely lazy get. Couldn't even be bothered getting dressed.

We once lived next door to a pole dancer, Mr G always cut the lawn on washdayslol

I really don't get it

Exactly. WTF is it all about?

So when they say the lad from Oldham controlled it, how come he came second on track?

The field is so strung out, how can riders even 50m back make it up to get over the line?

Daft, but having watched a fair few in the Velodrome this Olympics to the uneducated daft applies to all of them.

Omnium consist of 4 events. First 3 events are independent (Sprint, Tempo, Elimination) and your points in these 3 events are combined to give you a score that you go into the Points Race with.

The points race is a bit strange as it basically consists of 10 individual sprints so your position only matters at the end of every 10 laps. And even then only the top three riders get points. It's impossible to control the whole race which is why you'll have people fall back for and bit and then come back to the front.

There are bonus points in 2 of the events for lapping the field which gives you 20 points. Once you rejoin the field though that becomes the front of the race, you are no longer in first place.

Holly failed at 4,70m

done it now

 

[Wizard]

done it now

She's got a good chance but it's been an odd competition. So many failures

The Russian looks quite a bit better than the other 3 today

Bit dodgy the way this russian is pole vaulting. I’d get the pole tested.

Guaranteed medal for Holly

Did well Bradshaw. Siderova looked nailed on then lost it completely.

The omnium, keiran and madison are the poor relations of the velodrome events.

I clearly jinxed her. Having hit every jump prior to this she didn’t make another

Something really boring about the decathlon and heptathlon when we have no brits in it.
