That crash Cav caused looked like a bit of a dick move but was prob just one of those things.

Good to see Viviani deliver. Love that guy.

loving the basketball team at the moment.
super awesome to see everyone playing well.

Just watched a couple of the women’s BMX runs. Why do they run such a low gear ratio? Looks like they are always spinning out.

Holeshot?

This might illuminate the subject a little

also;

yaaaassss

sad for the opals though =(

So the BMX guys and gals crash out or miss placings. It seems like a continuing theme across all kinds of sports like swimming, hockey, track cycling. Aussies are world’s best for 3 years then we choke at the Olympics.

If the modern pentahlon wants to be “modern” then why don’t they replace the horsie with an MTB XC?

That’s racing?
Well Mariana Pajon was a favourite and she won in London…

… and then we play Serbia.
It was like a different team.

cant believe it, nothing was falling. Credit to Serbia for the adjustments they made though.

we were trash. so disappointing

watched the women’s mtb yesterday, that was fun looking.

Man, that call on patty :frowning:

I watched 30 seconds of the coverage in total.
The Australian pole vault guy is named Brandon Starc. Did lol for about 5 seconds, then my coffee was ready.

Awesome…

What’s with all the hate for Sagan by mtb people?? Seems a bit standoffish like they were worried he was going to take the piss out of them if he placed?

Probs because he doesn’t devote his live to shredding the gnar like they do.

Yep, pretty standoffish but not surprising considering he’s been out of MTB for years. Lots of these guys probably felt a bit threatened. He’s not exactly a noobie either, dude was junior WC of XC in 2008.

Mtbers hate sensations.

I’m told they’re into flow more than sensations

They ought to love him then
