Loving the live results for the individual pursuit 

 

Yep, this works perfect  

 

[heywoodu 15,135]

4:03.64 and the second fastest time ever for Lambie, who was 1.7 seconds faster than Ganna's WR at the halfway mark, just to make very clear how insane Ganna's race was (he kept on going faster and faster and faster, which is utterly bizarre).

4:01.934 for Ganna, new WR

Last km avarage….

UCI doesn't know their sport very well and seems to be shocked

If that were true, he'd have gone well under 4 minutes for 4 kilometers  

 

It's the last kilometer's average if I'm not mistaken.

oh, yes...obviously if you don't go below 4 mins on 4 kms you can't be faster than 60km/h...

 

still, it's always amazing how he goes faster and faster in the later stages of his effort...

 

p.s. mybe tonight he goes under the 4-min mark...

Now we come close to the 4:00 mark even in IP, which has been the magic threshold in Team Pursuit 20 years ago..

 

In other words: Ganna would have won the Silver medal in Team Pursuit at Sydney 2000

Couldn't see the live results so Wild (who got disqualified), made 5 of her opponents fall without falling herself 

 

 

And that asshole move will cost Mexico one Olympic quota.

 

Thank you very much  

 

Update: after a quick and provisional calculation, Mexico quota will be safe as long as       &  riders don't finish 5th or higher in the final standings.
