Was a good goal.

Cheers Bruce, quite an interesting event.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Aye, can be confusing though, especially when you have people lapping the field because they'll usually sit back into the pack but will be one lap ahead.

The track cyclists are looking so very, very good at the moment. The girls pursuit and Kenny in the spring are looking very strong. Bauge is still a big threat in the sprint but I can't see anyone beating us in the pursuit. We really do kick arse on the track and in rowing.

Just saw Kenny against that SA rider. He's quick, and probably favourite, but I can see Bauge's presence on the track troubling him. I didn't think Kenny looked totally convincing against the SA rider in the QF.

The women pursuit are nailed on for gold.

This match leaving Murray knackered for 2mora

Honduras are kicking Brazil too pieces, it is ace.

Bauge looked very confident, apparently he doesnt recover very well though, if Kenny can make him work, maybe he will be able to beat him over 3

And the lad who was doing the kicking has just been sent off.

Two yellows in less than a minute.

 

[Cena]

Murray guaranteed 2 silvers, boss

He's used to play 5 set matches mate, he'll be fine. This plus his game against Djokovic yesterday is about the length of a normal Grand Slam semi final.

 

[Brennan]

My mate is going to watch the Bronze Medal match in Cardiff, he'll be fuming if Brazil get knocked out now.

 

[The T-Dex]

WHAT?! Nooooooo FFS!!

Honduras down to ten now though.

Yeah Bauge is probably the favourite I'd say, but Kenny is certainly in good form. I'm sure he'll be confident after Hines went quicker than Bauge on the first lap of the team sprint. That will have pricked his aura a bit.

The girls pursuit are about as nailed on for gold as Ennis is in the heptathlon I think. Both very, very impressive.
