What happened to the cycling? They've just been waffling on for ages in the stadium.

Mrs WM bought me a track cycling voucher for a birthday about 10 years ago so I had an hour around the Olympic Velodrome in London. Loved it.
I used to do a lot of road cycling but velodrome was something else. The bikes are fixed wheel though so you can't coast as the pedals turn with the rotation of the wheel. I forgot at one point, fell off and slid down one of the ends.
Would recommend. Velodrome cycling that is. Not falling off.

Nobody thought that neither one of Kerr or Ingebritsen would win, at the end Ingebritsen looked crushed

Great run by Kerr. Outstanding run by Hocker.
Shocker by Ingebritsen!

Ingebritsen fucked them both really. As Johnson said he was that focussed on stopping Kerr he left door open for Hocker. Made for a great race though and Kerr getting a NR and silver is still great going.

What is going on with this cycling where they don't race for 2/3 of the race?

The 3 lap one? Cat and mouse really, love it.
Or do you mean the one behind the bike? Slowly building pace, building to a crescendo finish with all 5 riders going for 1st place. Also love it.

I like the cycling but it seems like they just start the same race a number of different ways. I love the one with the 80 lap race at the end, is that the omnium?

Yeah, the bike decathlon
You wouldn;'t hear anything outside of Kerr/Ingerbritsen on mainstream media.
But inside the sport, Hocker was widely tipped to have an equal chance, should the race be a little slower (say 3:29 or above), due to his phenomenal finishing speed.
What was a surprise was that he could still be in the hunt at 3:27
It was a fantastic race.... i watched it in the Godiva Harriers clubhouse straight after finishing a training session.....

Disappointing that one.

Feels like he lost it rather than the other guy won it. Guess his legs went.
Wish we'd stop celebrating second place when we come into events as favourite though. I'd be absolutely seething.
It’s the fifth fastest time ever and he took 0.3 off his PB. If someone else produces something special there’s not much you can do.

Yeah, ultimately he just wasn't good enough. Someone else was better. Guess it's about looking what he can do in 4 years time to come into the next Olympics in the best possible position to get over the line.
